Metal Hammer (UK) - August 2009

"Gothic metal is one of those musical styles that's often debated by fans. One of the most prolific questions is simply: what makes gothic metal, well, gothic rather than just generic metal? Black Orchid answer that perfectly with their debut EP, Inertia. Formed from the ashes of the equally splendid Chalice, the Aussie six-piece capture all the dark romantic beauty that is associated with the gothic genre along and mix it with just the right amount of melodramatic metal. Vocalist Abby Skye has neither a classical nor a pop voice but her warbling sits somewhere in between in such a way that totally complements the prog-inspired music. Think Nightwish meets Opeth with a dash of Pink Floyd." - Natasha Scharf (Metal Hammer, UK)

Black Orchid
