Edit history

Orinoco is a rock outfit driven by the heart of the past and a mind of the future. With riffs drawn from the pulp of bands such as Black Sabbath, Queens of the Stonage, and Faith No More they are technically uncomplicated as they ooze the vintage feel of early punk and Australian pub rock bands such as AC/DC, The Angels and Hoodoo Gurus. The storytelling lyrics have been have been written dark, pensive pen which are akin to Tool, Alice in Chains and Soundgarden. Unafraid to write and sing about topics of cancer, suicide, drug abuse and stalking. The structure of the songs are purposely written to allow a script of conversation for the listener to imagine. Even though the members of Orinoco are happy to say they are fans of the harder metal and thrash genre, they are completely aware they do not have the correct weaponry to execute this type of sound. They however have used the influence of Slayer, Sepultura and Metallica to create a live show with energy and musical aggression.
