Into Orbit: Unearthing

Into Orbit Unearthing (Independent/Bandcamp) There are few things in life better – as a music reviewer – than when you have high hopes for a second (or subsequent) album and those high hopes are met, and then exceeded. Such is the case with album number two from the duo Into Orbit. I can’t hide – […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 705

Into Orbit, Caverns (2016) I wasn’t expecting a copy of this – I was going to hunt one out at some stage I guess – but I was already the lucky/proud recipient of one of the Test Pressings. And that was cool. And is cool. But Into Orbit have a strong visual element to their […]

Sweetman Podcast: Episode 13 – Into Orbit

I first saw the band Into Orbit a couple of years ago, one of their very first gigs. I was blown away. Not just the power and sound of this duo but the conceptual shape of their music. Here were talented players, well-versed in metal, seeking new sonic territory. I loved their debut album, Caverns. […]

Gig Review: Into Orbit (April 17, Wgtn)

Into Orbit Valhalla Friday, April 17 When I first saw Into Orbit, stumbled onto them really – they were on the bill and it was another band I was there to see – I was spellbound; that was reinforced by their debut, full-lengther which I all but foamed over in my review. And now a […]

Into Orbit: Caverns

Into Orbit Caverns (Independent/Bandcamp) Here’s the debut album from Wellington duo Into Orbit. Paul Stewart on guitars and Ian Moir on drums. And I guess you’d call them post-rock for this plays into – and around – those sorts of tropes, if you like Russian Circles or Jakob or ISIS or Kerretta or so many […]
