Playing dark, sonically massive guitar-based rock that’s heavy without sounding excessively metallic, ORB (not to be confused with the influential electronic group the Orb) hail from Geelong, Victoria, Australia. The group was founded by guitarist and lead singer Zak Olsen, guitarist and bassist Daff Gravolin, and drummer Jamie Harmer. The three musicians lived not far from one another, and with some extra time on their hands, they began jamming regularly. Inspired by their youthful enthusiasm for hard rock and early metal bands ORB started as an exercise in fuzz and alternate tunings with a drive to challenge the style they were used to playing in other projects.Their first full-length album, Birth, was released in July 2016 by Flightless & Anti-Fade in Australia and by Castle Face in the United States and Canada.
