From 2009 to 2014, Uta Plotkin was the vocalist for the Portland band Witch Mountain. Those years in American doom had the shape of a miniature heavy metal epoch. A half-decade is an eternity in scene years: The term “New Wave of British Heavy Metal” was coined in 1979, and that movement had petered out by 1984. There were also just five years between 1986, the Year Thrash Broke, and 1991, the year Metallica broke thrash. Between 2009 and 2014, Pallbearer, Khemmis, Windhand, Dark Castle, Occultation, Usnea, and Un all released their debuts, and the slightly older SubRosa, Elder, and Yob put out some of their most celebrated work.

If you know me, it should come as no surprise to know that a band coming along and proudly showing off their Voivod, Watchtower, Dysrhythmia, Gorguts, Spastik Ink, Converge, Cardiacs, Blotted Science, Botch, Discordance Axis and Behold… The Arctopus influences would be responsible for a certain amount of warmth emanating from the cockles of my heart. When such a concoction hails from a place not at all known for bands from the weird/noisy/proggy side of the metallic hardcore spectrum, my interest become doubly piqued. From Bangalore, India comes Maneating Orchid and come June 5th the band will be issuing their third full-length, Cold Logic. From that album, today we present the latest single, “Void Engine.” About the song, the band had this to say: “Sonically, ‘Void Engine’ channels manic punk energy before warping into dense, technical riffage, culminating in a massive, obliterating outro that leaves you suspended in a dissolving void. Thematically, it explores a vast, unknowable machine buried in deep space that seems to shape the very fabric of reality. This Lovecraftian mechanism endlessly churns out existence without purpose or intent, reducing life to a byproduct of an indifferent, eternal process.”

For more information and whatnot, check the band out on Bandcamp.
