Black Orchid (New Album in the Works!)

About Me

Black Orchid began in 2002 with Ryan (guitar), Matt (vox) and Ryan 'Buck' Buckley (bass). After recording our very first demo with a full band , newly aquired drummer Mike Black "left" the band. All drama set aside, Buck dropped the bass and picked up the drums. Matt picked the bass up off the floor where it had stayed for half a year and started the 5-string and vocals at the same time. Ryan was the lone guitar player up until February 2006. This is when Kyle McCleary joined as second guitarist. After a year with Black Orchid, Senile Kyle quit the band due to life-altering circumstances that had priority over the Orchid. This paved the way for Steven Haigh to audition and blow the competition out of the water. A true Orchid Brother, Steven continues to show love and dedication for Black Orchid since February 2007. As 2008 rolled to an end Black Orchid released their highest quality recording to date: "Confidence in Death" recorded,mixed, and mastered by Rafe Sweet. Shortly after the release of the album Buck was resigned from the band and ex-Hemlock member Chris Spike wasted no time filling the drummer position. After a few months with the band Chris felt that Black Orchid was going places he, at the time, could not. Chris continues to support us and is always in our hearts and minds as not only a multi-talented musician but as a brother (We got your back mother fucker!). Stephen Brannen (Drummer and friend from Unholy Baptism) heard of our drummer issues and showed extreme interest and amazing ability. He is currently kicking serious ass at practice and can't wait to hit the stage! Thanks for sticking with us motherfuckers! Black Orchid aint goin nowhere!
