Orwell is melodic death metal band from La Crosse, Wisconsin that formed in 2004. The Original lineup consisted of Tim Bradley, Will Strickland, Bern Wachter, Eamon Nechvatal, and Mike Knight. 2006 Saw the band release "the Undying," a 7 song EP through Zero Budget Records. The disc was the first real recording effort and solidified Orwell as a force to be reckoned with in the Midwest. Early 2007 also had the band lend 2 new songs to a Zero Budget Split with Label mates Buried Face Down and now-defunct And Hope to Die. Shortly after the split, Mike Knight, was ejected from the band. In the summer of 2007, Orwell hopped in the van with new vocalist Luke Matheson, and a new 2 song sampler CD and toured the mid/central US for 30 days.

ORWELL Avohfasih

UMUR
"Avohfasih" is the 2nd full-length studio album by US death metal/post-hardcore act Orwell. The album was self-released in September 2011 and made available for free download ("Name Your Price") on the band´s Bandcamp page. The physical version of the album is limited to 300 copies.

The music on the album is death metal with post-hardcore/metal elements. It´s usually brick heavy but at the same time atmospheric. I´m reminded quite a bit of the Finnish band Ghost Brigade. The music is generally epic and melancholic. The vocals are somewhere between growls and hardcore shouting. The musicianship is solid and the sound production pretty good, so "Avohfasih" is a release featuring many positive elements.

Overall "Avohfasih" is worth a listen if you think the above description sounds like something you´d enjoy. I´d say a 3.5 star (70%) rating is fair.
