Orbs, the band that consists of Between The Buried and Me's bassist Dan Briggs on guitar and bass, vocalist Adam Fisher of Fear Before The March of Flames on vocals and guitar, and ex-Abigail Williams keyboardist Ashley Ellyllon on keyboards (duh), is a pretty strange breed. The band will be releasing its second album, titled Past Life Regression, on July 15, and you can totally pre-order it right here.
Orbs recently dropped its track "Dreamland II," which is about people forming sexualities and sleep paralysis… because of an episode of the X-Files. Look, I'm not saying I get it, I'm just tell you what the band had to say about the song.
“Dreamland II” is first and foremost named after one of my favorite yet most terrifying episodes of X-Files where two lovers are fused together. That leads me to the meaning of the song. I never actually walked in on my parents doing the dirty, and if I did, I repressed it.
I did however watch the 60 Minutes about Mark Tatum losing his face to a vicious rare type of mold. He had to get a prosthetic face. Google it. I based the song off wondering what it is that gives us fetishes and forms us sexually. It also dives into my battles with sleep paralysis. I do not sleep with a knife next to my bed anymore. Now I have a Louisville slugger."
Check the song out below and let us know what you think! Personally, I love the music, but as with Orbs' past releases, I just cannot get into the vocals.
