Darknight
Astounding, thrilling doom metal album, pounding mega riffs with crushing effects. Proceed came with expectations, they have been met head on and Orthodox may just have released the best doom album of 2022.
Favorite track: Starve.

"Proceed" sees the return of guitarist Ricardo Jiménez to the lineup for the first time since 2011’s "Baal". To capture this mammoth album, Billy Anderson (Sleep, Melvins, High On Fire, Om, Neurosis, EyeHateGod) flew to Spain in November 2021 to record them at La Mina Studios (Sevilla).
"Proceed" represents ORTHODOX's return to its original essence, but also a step forward as a band. After a multitude of different projects around the band and a long way traveled, they are back to reel off heavy riffs like a three-headed juggernaut.
'Proceed' Track Listing:
1. Past Seers
2. Abendrot
3. Rabid God
4. Starve
5. The Son, The Sword, The Bread
6. The Long Defeat
Music and lyrics by Orthodox (Díaz/Jiménez/Serrato)
"Arguably the heaviest thing they’ve done since their debut, and one of the most satisfying and surprising drone/doom records I’ve heard in quite a while." Kez Whelan, THE QUIETUS
"Proceed is a truly astounding record. The instrumental performances here are unprecedented in the doom scene and the material is flawless. If I have shown my hand already, this is a definite contender for album of the year." Todd Manning, CVLT NATION
"One of the best doom records I have heard in a very long time. A miracle of an album" MACHINE MUSIC
"This is my favorite doom metal release this year, so far. Orthodox is on fire. High adventure and angular dissonant rewards all through out. I love it." Mike Scheidt (YOB)

Orthodox is a trio from Seville, Spain playing experimental doom metal inspired by religious folklore and jazz. A music
based on hypnotic repetitions of quasi-mystical
intensity and slow, torpid rhythms befitting people from a city of crushing summer heat. Musical influences from Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd or Melvins mixed with their peculiar perception of Southern Spain folklore and avantgarde....more
never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu
