oaf. presents Insurgents, a mathcore night featuring Orchid, DEATH BY FUNGI & Haiku-Like Imagination

About The Artists

Orchid

Formed in late 2011 in Bangalore, India, Orchid is a four-piece band that plays a dense & unique blend of heavy music with prog rock/metal, mathcore, noise, and psychedelic/space rock leanings. With their blend of dissonant & techy guitars, abrasive vocals, noise passages, jazzy interludes, and unconventional song structures, Orchid has been pushing the boundaries of heavy music in the subcontinental underground and remain one of the most original bands to emerge from the region. Orchid’s no-holds-barred approach to songwriting and avant-garde ethos have allowed. Orchid to be at the vanguard of the accepted conventions of heavy music.

In 2016, Orchid released their much-awaited self-titled debut EP to critical acclaim with Rolling Stone India calling it “one of the best cult classics of 2016” and “one of the most intriguing metal releases of the year.” Orchid released their sophomore record ‘Miasma’ in January 2019 – a full-length album which has received praise and critical acclaim from various publications worldwide.

Haiku-Like Imagination

Haiku-Like Imagination is a 5 piece post-hardcore / math rock band based out of Bangalore, India. The idea behind the band is a cohesion of pop-esque melodies with absurd, yet intricate rhythm structures. A powerhouse of dynamic polyrhythmic drum sections, melodic bass lines, twin guitar harmonies, robust screams combined with melancholic clean vocals and glitchy, dissonant breakdowns is a subtle description of their music. The music fiddles with extremities of happiness and chaos, symbolically representing the dynamics of life in itself. They aim to simplify the seemingly complicated progressive music genre and reach out to everyone while simultaneously catering to niche audiences as well.

Haiku’s musical influences vary from The Physics House Band to Algernon Cadwallader and LITE. They derive rhythmic inspiration from Mars Volta and The Dillinger Escape Plan.

Their debut album, “Eat Lead Motherbuzzer” was released on 13th April and is available now on on all streaming platforms across the world. Their debut single “Hey Dynamics!” features Masayuki Takao from the Japanese metal band “Cyclamen” on guitars, and released exclusively on Rolling Stone India in May.
