Orchid - Capricorn (2011)

   Amongst stoner rock bands there are plenty examples to find about the side effects of desperate Black Sabbath addiction, but Orchid gave a new and more accurate definition to that situation. 
  With their strongly Ozzy era Black Sabbath influenced music the band can offer relief to those who can't get enough of that specific style that inspired countless of others back then. Even the themes are like taken from exact songs, like if "Capricorn" was some alternative Black Sabbath remix album. The lyrics also strictly following the archaic doom metal traditions. The only difference could be that these lyrics are more unified; and to authentically recreate the the hard rock sound of the '70s, they didn't reach the level of heaviness that was usual at classic '80s doom bands. The interesting thing might be that even if mainstream influenced bands doesn't intentionally copying the style of their idols, the outcomes are similar. That's the main reason why there will be no more big hit hard rock, heavy metal, glam rock, ect. bands. But even if evereything was made that could have been made, and the possiblities proved to be way narrower afterwards than how they seemed back then, it's still possible to play good music, and to enjoy it's retro quality instead of waiting for the revolutionary style resurrections that will never come. And that's exactly what Orchid did.
