Our Take

O.R.K.'s latest offering, "Soul Of An Octopus", is a wild, genre-bending ride through the depths of experimental rock. From the very first track, it's clear that these Italian prog-rockers have a unique vision and aren't afraid to push boundaries.

The album kicks off with the pulsating "Kneel To Nothing", a cacophony of erratic riffs and haunting vocals that sets the tone for what's to come. The band seamlessly blends elements of metal, jazz, and psychedelia to create a sound that is at once familiar and completely original.

Tracks like "Signals Erased" and "Beyond Sight" showcase O.R.K.'s technical prowess, with intricate guitar work and complex rhythms that demand multiple listens to fully appreciate.

Lead vocalist Lorenzo Esposito Fornasari's haunting vocals provide the perfect contrast to the frenetic instrumentation, adding an emotional depth to the album that keeps you coming back for more.

"Soul Of An Octopus" is not an easy listen, but for those willing to take the plunge, it's a rewarding and exhilarating journey. O.R.K. have once again proven themselves to be masters of their craft, creating an album that is as intriguing as it is sonically adventurous. So grab your headphones, sink into the murky depths, and let the soul of the octopus envelop you.
