Anybody familiar with Orchid? They sound like vintage 70's Sabbath. I had never heard of them until two days ago.

Check this out:

Doom!

I dig it. Sounds like Witchfinder General Revisited. Hopefully they'll make the trip south to L.A. at some point.

That's a great place to buy from! I've bought a lot of my retro and doom vinyl from them.

Through The Devil's Doorway is a fantastic EP. Thanks for reminding me that I need to pick up Capricorn!

Little too pricey for me, but I like what I'm hearing. I'll definately keep an eye out for these guys.

Found a couple more videos from Orchid:

Here's the title track from their LP - Capricorn

Here's another track from their LP - Cosmonaut of Three

And lastly, here's a track from their EP - No One Makes a Sound

Just watched the last video there. It totally brings to mind those old black sabbath video's of paranoid and iron man, very cool

These guys are so Sabbath-influenced, you can tell that they worship Masters of Reality.

Is it just me or does the album cover to Capricorn bring Monster Magnet's Superjudge to mind?

Sure, I can see that...

Wish I could find those Orchid cds for a decent price.
