ORBWEAVER: Psychedelic Death Metal Troupe Announces Winter
Tour With Shroud Eater
|
![]() |
Floridian
psychedelic death metal troupe, ORBWEAVER,
will embark upon a two-plus week live takeover next month. Scheduled to
commence February 19th, the still-being-booked excursion will wind its way
westward and back again leaving little behind but smoke, ash, broken dreams
and the sound of mass confusion. The band will be joined by fellow Sunshine
State sludge assassins, Shroud Eater.
ORBWEAVER will be touring in support of their brain-fraying Strange Transmissions From The
Neuralnomicon EP, released upon unsuspecting ears last Summer.
Christened "twitchy, trippy tech death" by Invisible Oranges, the
critically-adored five-track
Strange Transmissions From The Neuralnomicon is a multi-textured
sonic expedition through modulating realities. Recorded at Miami's Pinecrust
Studios with Jonathan Nunez of Torche and mixed/mastered with Brian Elliot at
Mana Recording Studios (Hate Eternal, Cannibal Corpse, Goatwhore, Exhumed),
the band transcends leagues beyond traditional genre realms with their cosmic
fusion of psychedelia, noise, and a warped interpretation of progressive
death metal. Shifting between these erratic, trance-like elements, the
foursome produce interplanetary pandemonium reminiscent of a Zappa-esque
brand of controlled and wildly elegiac chaos.

ORBWEAVER was forgedin 2010 by guitarist/vocalist Randy Piro
(ex-Hate Eternal, Gigan) and drummer Mike Pena. Together they recorded a
self-titled, three-song demo. Shortly after, lead guitarist Sally Gates
(ex-Gigan) and bassist Jason Ledgard joined the fold. Mike Pena parted ways
with the group in 2013, and was replaced by drummer/percussionist Scott
Spasiano.
"Death metal weirdos like Gorguts and Obscura hook
up with the unstable bent of Dysrhythmia and Psyopus for a sensory taxing
good time." - Decibel
"ORBWEAVER have definitely blended the
right mix of atmosphere with the right mix of experimental technical death
metal to make a listen that is superbly solid and second to none. Whatever
you want to call this stuff, I definitely hope to hear more 'alien metal' in
the future. 5/5" - New Noise Magazine
"Hypothetically, more songs of
this nature might get a tad repetitive, but with craftsmanship and creativity
at this high of a level, it's more than likely that whatever ORBWEAVER offers
us next is going to be devastating. For now, though, we must settle for
simply awesome... 9/10" - Last Rites
"What we're talking here is off-the-wall,
structureless noise tech that borders on the type of irreverence built by
instrumental group Behold The Arctopus, complete with insane space
atmospherics. I found that very little of Strange
Transmissions From The Neuralnomicon actually made sense, but
that in and of itself is one of ORBWEAVER's many charms." -
