Orthodox - A Door Left Open (2025)


Orthodox’s A Door Left Open slams down the gauntlet with 32 minutes of pulverizing, groove-laden nu‑metalcore fury. It engineers a full-throttle collision of frantic riffs, thunderous rhythm, and vocals that crackle with both precision and primal rage. The record balances raw weight with creative flair—each breakdown lands like a blow, yet never overstay its welcome, keeping the listener pinned but eager. Collaborations with Andrew Neufeld, Matt McDougal, and Mastodon’s Brann Dailor add fresh contours, amplifying the album’s diversity and emotional gravity. More than sheer heaviness, this stands as Orthodox’s most focused, polished, and emotionally scorching statement to date.

Oddleaf’s debut album, Where Ideal and Denial Collide , is a fresh entry in progressive rock, combining lush, symphonic elements with retro influences from bands like Camel and Renaissance. The album, produced and recorded with exceptional attention to sonic detail, explores themes of environmentalism and human disconnection from nature, creating a rich narrative across its six tracks. Musically, the album mixes haunting flute lines, Mellotron textures, and dynamic shifts between electric and acoustic instrumentation, with standout vocals from Adeline Gurtner that are both emotive and ethereal. Tracks like “Life” and “Back in Time” balance infectious, vintage-inspired melodies with introspective lyrics, giving the album a timeless yet urgent feel.
