ORNE -- Dark progressive rock

About Me

MyGen Profile Generator Hail! I am Kimi aka Peter. I play guitar in Reverend Bizarre, a Doom Metal band started in 1995 and which is going to have a funeral in early 2007. Do not have too much time to hang out in Myspace, so big cheers for dear Jessica for putting up a page for RB, it's down there in the top-8 of my friends...
I decided to use this space to spread awareness of my other band, ORNE. The band plays dark progressive rock in the vein of Van der Graaf Generator, Black Widow, King Crimson, Gabriel-era Genesis, Pink Floyd... The first album, "The Conjuration by the Fire" is coming out from Italian label Black Widow Records during first half of 2006. The first album lineup has the whole Reverend Bizarre trio within the total sevenpiece, Albert handling only vocals there. Now there is one song from the actual album available, "Opening by Watchtower". The mp3 is not in not too good quality, but I guess it's good enough for you people to have the first impressions of the actual album.
After Reverend Bizarre is buried I will start another Doom Metal band called LORD VICAR. I hope you will enjoy the music when the time comes.
Sorry for the long silences in Myspace, I keep myself busy with family, work, Reverend Bizarre and visiting England for six months between Feb and July 2006. Bless you all & Down the Nails!
A few words to end all words, from the crypt, located somewhere in Albion:
"I'm often asked to perform on many artists’ albums (far too many for me to be able to please everyone). A few months ago I received a request by the group ORNE to appear on their debut album, unfortunately this is not possible due to previous commitments.
Upon listening to their pre-production demo I was struck by the wonderful songs and beautiful melodies that came floating to my ears. In many ways they reminded me of my early days with BLACK WIDOW.
I feel that "The Conjuration by the Fire" will be a classic debut album and one that will be played for many years to come. I hope to be asked to play on future releases it will be an honour to play with such talented musicians.
I wish Kimi and the group every success.
- Clive Jones (Black Widow / Agony Bag)"
DISCLAIMER: We have nothing to do with Finnish family Orne. The bandname was inspired by a fictional character in H. P. Lovecraft's (1890-1937) "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward".
