About the artist
Orphan Swords
ORPHAN SWORDS are a Belgian musical duo like no other. With a sound that can only be described as a sonic assault on the senses, they have been carving out their own niche in the electronic music scene since their formation in 2013. Comprised of members Yannick Franck and Pierre de Muelenaere, ORPHAN SWORDS have been fearlessly pushing the boundaries of genre classification with their unique blend of industrial, techno, and noise. Franck and de Muelenaere are no strangers to experimentation, constantly defying expectations and bringing a fresh perspective to their music. Their live performances are a sight to behold, with pulsating beats and abrasive textures that will leave you in a trance-like state. It's no wonder they have gained a reputation as one of the most exciting acts to come out of Belgium in recent years. Their debut album "Risk in Dying" received critical acclaim for its uncompromising sound and relentless energy. Tracks like "Beneath the Abyss" and "Lament" showcase their ability to create a sonic landscape that is both haunting and exhilarating. With their sophomore album on the horizon, ORPHAN SWORDS show no signs of slowing down. If you're looking for music that will challenge and captivate you in equal measure, look no further than ORPHAN SWORDS. They are a force to be reckoned with in the world of electronic music, and we can't wait to see where their music takes them next.
