Album Review - Orthodox - A Door Left Open

3 weeks ago | rocksins.com | Simon Crampton

It seems crazy to me that a band like Orthodox has completely. They have been around for nearly 15 years and are 4 albums deep into their career, but this is the first time I’ve ever heard them. Talk about a shock to the system. A Door Left Open is one of the biggest revelations to come across my ears in quite some time. This is a nasty mindfuck of a record that wants you to feel every single part of it, while challenging you to turn it off.
