Earsplit Announces New Band ORWELL

ORWELL: Pure Midwestern American Metal

Wisconsin's given birth to a potent and proud young metal beast which answers to the name ORWELL. Escaping current “for the moment” musical trends, this five-piece attack squad execute massive hooks with extremely professional precision and prowess on their self-released debut full-length “Endeavors”.

While somewhat reshaping melodic Swedish death metal as mastered by In Flames and Soilwork into a more American style in the vein of Black Dahila Murder or All That Remains, moments of “Endeavors” also bleed with a bit of stoner metal one might attribute to Corrosion of Conformity or Down. Scorching solos and lead guitar tracks flow into epic buildups while going head-to-head with destructive death metal and mosh-driven thrash elements, all developing the energetic and empowering flow for the ten tracks of the band's impressive debut. The entire “Endeavors” album is available for free streaming here: http://www.earsplitcompound.com/site/?p=179.

ORWELL are also one of the 20 contenders in the Metal Insider “No Labels Needed” Contest, where bands are competing for a chance to record an EP with MACHINE (Lamb of God, Every Time I Die, etc): http://www.metalinsider.net/nolabelneeded/.

After regionally touring throughout the Midwest and sharing the stage with DEAD TO FALL, MISERY INDEX, OBITUARY, INTRONAUT, NAPALM DEATH and countless other nationally touring acts along the way, ORWELL are taking to the road heavily in 2010, with regional shows constantly going down, and several months of nationwide touring in the planning stages now.
