The Skull Sessions. The first unreleased Orchid material in over 20 years. Consisting of practice tapes, rehearsals and sonic experiments for what would later appear on s/t, Chaos, CWV split and others (see notes below). All songs have been recently mastered and sound crushing.
Skull Session Notes:
Tracks 1 - 6
For the self titled album, the band was looking for more creative freedom and experimentation and were discussing the possibilities of self recording at Will's new studio. These six songs were the first recording ever made at the first iteration of Dead Air. At the time, they served as a proof of concept and a place for sonic experiments. This recording was never released or shared outside of the band. Later they would go on to record and produce S/T themselves
Tracks 7 - 13
For their first LP, the band had been discussing a possible release with Kent at Ebullition, who seemed interested but not certain. Hoping to seal the deal, the band set up a Fostex 16 track reel to reel in their practice space, which was an after hours class room at Hampshire College. Recorded live in one take, the band played a set including two songs from the then unreleased split with Combat Wounded Veteran, and five songs intended for the LP. One of these songs T-120 was recorded for the album, but remained unreleased until the collection Totality came out on Clean Plate years after the fact. Upon hearing the tape Kent agreed to release their first album, Chaos Is Me. For this vinyl release, the band obtained Kent's copy that they had mailed him over 25 years ago, and digitized and remastered it. Before this release, this recording was never shared beyond Kent and the band.
