INTERVIEWS and REVIEWS

"Links to the band's interviews":
"This is a band unafraid of mixing and matching anything and everything that has ever influenced them. Melody fights it out with vicious riffs and crushing breakdowns."
...sorprendente album di esordio del 2004 curato da Steve Austin (leader dei Today is the day)...
...sono stati uno dei gruppi italiani più sorprendenti del 2006. Contratto con la Indelirium Records, ora nuovo deal con la Supernova Records, disco prodotto da Steve Austin (Today Is The Day)...
Per cominciare ci spiegate il significato del nome della band? GABBO: ti alzi una mattina, la sveglia non ha suonato. Maledici il dio in cui credi e ti precipiti giù per prendere l'autobus. Lo vedi in lontananza, dall'altra parte della strada. Ti affretti verso il grande incrocio...
Una delle più piacevoli sorprese musicali dello scorso anno. Questo e molto altro sono i The Orange Man Theory...
Noise core intriso di rock unto e sudato, ecco cosa hanno da offrire i nostri (nel senso di connazionali) The Orange Man Theory...
Live report Orange Man Theory @ Sinistre Noize Club, Roma...
...impressionato da un demo al punto da voler registrare e masterizzare negli Stati Uniti il primo album della band romana, Austin compare nell’album anche come tastierista...

BIOGRAPHY


Formed in 2003, the Italian unit The Orange Man Theory sound as a hardcore band influenced by a strong love for groovy dischords, a punk-indie attitude, a reasonable addiction to death metal and a real devotion for 70’s super rock. Combining all this stuff with movie quotes, pitched samples, radio wave frequencies and the weird intention of playing something different, TOMT perform a sick and disturbing music that will take you throughout unknown sonic territories.
After some months jamming together and after a tight line-up was build, the band worked with high- pressure on its early material and played a lot of shows around. On july 03 The Oranges decided to record a 4-track demo and ship it to whoever could be interested in. Their cd fell into the hands of the underground producer Today is the day’s Steve Austin (Converge, Unsane, Lamb of god) who appreciated their sound and invited them to record in his studio.
On August 2004 The Oranges flew to USA and recorded their first album “Riding a Cannibal Horse from here to…” at Austin Enterprise Recording and Mastering in Clinton MA. The work is produced by Steve Austin.
On October 2005 the band signed a deal with the indie label Indelirium Records for the album release.
On December 2005 the band released its first full-length “Riding A Cannibal Horse From Here To…” (Indelirium Records). Steve Austin from Today Is The Day appears as guest vocals and keys on two songs. The album is distributed in Europe, Usa, and South of America through DIY and official ways. In a few months it was critically-acclaimed by the most important Italian, European and US magazines and web portals such as Stonerrock.com, Hellridemusic, Metal Hammer, Rocksound, Rumore and many others. During 2006 the band performed a lot of gigs all across Italy, Switzerland, France for promoting the album.
During the summer of 2005 The Orange Man Theory are massively promoted in the most of the South America’s countries such as Colombia, Argentina, Chile, Perù, Uruguay, and Mexico as well. The promotion campaign through Latino America gained a huge interest among those people and that underground scene and thanks to many promoters involved, this will be a good launch pad for an upcoming Oranges’ tour all over those countries.
In the summer of 2006 The Orange Man Theory flew to Bogotà to tour the South of America with the Mexican metal band Anton. Over there they performed 30 shows across six different countries (Colombia, Equador, Bolivia, Perù, Chile, Argentina) to spread their rock out and destroy everything. In Bogotà the band shared the stage with the hardcore legend Sick Of It All, during their first appearance in Colombia in front of more than a thousand people.
Just a while before the South America Tour the band signed to the US label Supernova Records for the re-release of their debut cd in the United States.
On October the 30th the Orange Man Theory appeared at Supernova Records Showcase @ Lit Lounge in Manhattan, New York City, sharing the stage with their label mates Taipan (Today is the day side project), Christine, Defcon4, Diesel Theory.
On March 2007 The Orange Man Theory left for a 12-days European tour over Germany, Italy, Holland and Belgium.
Now the band is working on the new material in order to record its second full-length next year.

LYRICS

MERENDINA WILL HAVE IS REVENGE ON CAPE SIDE

What bothers me most is the way they smile. Get used to be so dumb, just let ’em be in right. Go to grave side. You’re hidden by surprise by the everyday’s life. Nothing else matters but stereotypes. Go to fake side. Fake side. It doesn’t belong to you and neither does to me, your perfect reliable dream-town has ever stayed in your head. Don’t be scarred my friend: It’s just what we deserve. Just turning off the screen, Enjoy the view around, Just keep an eye on it, you’ll find your friends so down. Go to flesh side. You’d better tune into yourself and try to figure me out. Our favourite Harvey used to wear Black suit, white shirt and bow tie. Merendina don’t be scarred. The abyss can wait, so does my heaven. The shyness is stuff for engineers. If there aren’t at least: one nigger, one gay, one bitch, and one dead father. The boss is going to get rid of you. Unless you improve your cum shots.

VAMPIRES IN THE SUN (SURFIN’ TRANSYLVANIA)

Look out. I wish I could lie. Days are boring through the loving fiction. Infected too. Change another channel from the TV. Keep on swimming in your pieces of world. My lover I cannot find you. Inside. Black lord, that’s power. I learned. I’m slowly moving through his light right now. I got my surprises, I got no samba. I want you to live the restless mornings I can’t stand anymore. Why do you say “go out of here”? What do you mean? Welcome to my family. I won’t drop out. By the way I don’t live off the underground. What I need is find you. I didn’t want to hurt you but you were so close to me And there’s nothing else that really matters And you’re just farther from me. Every silence is free. Every bite is free. We like big waves comin’ Followed by the sun. It’s nice to be a vampire, that’s fun if there’s a prize. We like big waves comin’ Followed by the sun. Get used to call us vampires. Vampires in the sun.

VORTEX OF COWS INTO THE SWEET TORNADO

I got power. I come from the land that has no sun. No sun. Don’t ask me out. Have you seen the fire in the green yards? Look like burning. I walk through fire, I get through you, I walk through fire. I feel like rocking out. Maybe I’ve missed something that I don’t mind He’s right comin’ towards me. Throw me higher. Tear me down. Yes right I’m down here for ya. Long time no see over this land. Wounds wide open and let me check out in the air. Throw me higher. No fine vibes. No stand by. No turn right. No time. The cold is coming where I stand by No radio signals to kiss it goodbye. Right through my life, Right through me. How long have you been wandering? How come I’m not by you? How come I see you down there? And I’m coming down this way. And I don’t know what’s right or wrong. I learned to lose control.

WHERE WE’RE GOING WE DON’T NEED ROADS!

No lights through rearview mirror. No clowns from outer space. I’m gonna drive so fast as fast I wanna hit my target. To live my life the way I want to, as you know. Used to follow my path, and I don’t need no advice. Say, how fast are you gonna run with blood? How high are you gonna fly? Where we go don’t need roads. Where we go there’s no soundtrack. I’ve seen the world through chaos. I cannot trust you anymore. Hey, how long are you going to stay here for? Get through. I’ve just found a door but it’s locked. To live my life the way I want to as I told. Used to follow my path, I don’t need no advice. The people I talk with are not interesting, what a life! They’re only a bit more tired than me or get less coffee than I use to get. Used to follow my path and I don’t need no advice. I’ll have too much coffee - I don’t need no advice. I just need the flux to hit my 88 mph. I will never turn back. You know my time has come.

BIOLLANTE’S DAWN

You know me father, don’t you? I am the creature that you joined the world. I don’t belong to any breed. Was it all worth it? You created a monster. You don’t care I feel depressed now. Everything I do could be dangerous. I was born to kill with my chocking vines. I was combined by the human-myself. I have to face my atomic twin. I just stand to fight. I’ll be there on time. I don’t know my body enough but I feel the evil inside me. Biollante is coming to you. Rise from the floods. Biollante’s dawn. Biollante is coming to you. And nothing more. I’m sure you sucker. You’ve never pictured anything. I come to solve their problem. Their problem is you. Biollante is coming to you. He’s got a present for you. I come through abyss for you. I’ve got a present for you. Rise from the floods. Your life is over. Look at my eyes, don’t be so frightened. Your life is over. I’m getting out of control. I will come down to destroy you.

RIDING A CANNIBAL-HORSE FROM HERE TO CLINTON, MA

There are a lot of nasty creatures. Out of here. They want my flesh. I feel their breathe on my neck. This can’t be a nightmare. Maybe I’m just going mad. I should have stayed there. Keep on thinking what I left, Suddenly my will to be fades out. On the run down this road. What am I really gonna do? Run as fast as I can. That’s just what I’ve learned. Sorry mama. Sorry papa. “Honey, what do you feel like a bloodbath?” It sounds so weird. I was standing by friends. Don’t ask me why. I don’t know. Just running faster, I’m just gone away. I’m on the run. I’ve got my faithful friend. Go Pino, Go straight down. I don’t know where I’m going to, Where the winds of hell are gonna point me at. I’m already far from home, all my friends have been infected. I left my girlfriend too. She… bloody-rabid bunny. But I’m the master-breaker. Horizon lends me a town. This town already sounds good. There’s just a man who can help me now, His name is bleeding rock’n’roll out. In this suitcase there’s the nicest surprise to give you more. With this baby I should be really careful. I’m not going to. Not apologizes. You won’t ever stop me. I’ll be the law. Forget the mommy speaking about the self-control. That’s the hero’s law. I come back home. Riding a cannibal horse from here to Clinton, Massachusetts.
