Bangalore-based heavy prog/mathcore band Maneating Orchid (previously known as Orchid) has announced a brand new album. The album is titled ‘Hive Mind’ which is due for release on March 17, 2022. This will mark the band’s follow-up to their 2016 EP ‘Orchid’ and 2019 full-length album ‘Miasma’.
The new album will see the band dialing up their sonic intensity and pushing their notorious brand of chaotic prog into more bizarre and aggressive territories. The new album features 10 anomalous tracks that take a rancorous jab at things that plague the subcontinent: neo-fascism, government surveillance, coded bias, urban decay, fake news, despotism, and more. Featuring a raw and honest yet ferocious production, ‘Hive Mind’ is set to cement the band’s unapologetic commitment to breaking conventions in the subcontinental underground.
Maneating Orchid is all set to release a single off the album along with pre-order information this week.
Tracklist:
- Assimilation Daze
- Double-Crosser
- Vivarium
- Premonition
- Bait & Switch
- Unreality TV
- Cover-Up
- Cult of Personality
- Smokescreen
- Murder Pawn
The album is engineered and mixed by Apurv Agrawal and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege. The album art & design by Copycat Design and the logo is designed by Jigmet Wangchok.
