Black Orchid Empire create huge, memorable rock music that combines heavy-hitting savagery with intense melodic beauty.
Their technical, fearlessly complex grooves and gigantic sing-along choruses have already earned them a widespread fanbase.
They now unveil their latest single ‘Tristar,’ ahead of their forthcoming album ‘Lore,’ which drops Friday 8th May 2026.
‘Tristar’ begins with smooth and soulful vocals that flow alongside a stirring guitar arrangement and catchy instrumentals courtesy of Black Orchid Empire.
The Bermuda Triangle is one of those myths that we were all fascinated by as kids – a mysterious, faraway part of the world that people entered and never came back from.
This song is about an obsession with what might be beyond, the feeling of tipping over into the void.
Musically it’s an exploration of the more beautiful and melodic side of what we do, but definitely still has punch in its guts.
A formidable live act, they have toured extensively across the UK and Europe, supporting Skunk Anansie, INME, and Black Map, alongside appearances at Download, Planet Rockstock, Tech Fest, Teddy Rocks, Standon Calling and Mangata Festival.
After releasing albums via Long Branch Records and Season Of Mist, the band recently signed with Year Of The Rat Records, earning support from BBC Radio 1, Spotify, Apple Music, Knotfest, PROG and Kerrang!.
