Prog supergroup O.R.k., who feature Colin Edwin and Pat Mastelotto alongside singer Lef and guitarist Carmine Pipitone, published the official video for the single “As I Leave” taken from new upcoming album “Screamnasium.” Watch the video through the YouTube player below:
Setting the pace, lead single/album opener “As I Leave” delivers the distilled O.R.k. spirit directly to the listener. Lef’s powerful vocals, Carmelo Pipitone’s energetic riffing, Pat Mastelotto’s inventive rhythmic accompaniment and Colin Edwin’s distinctive bass tones all infuse “Screamnasium” with a refreshed intensity and a new luminosity. Energy levels are maintained throughout the 42 minute runtime as O.R.k. state the case for optimism, tolerance and inclusivity – these are hopeful anthems for an increasingly uncertain world.
A highlight is “Consquence,” where Lef spars with Grammy winning vocal phenom Elisa, best known outside her native Italy for her collaboration with the legendary Ennio Morricone on Quentin Tarantino‘s Django Unchained soundtrack.
Album closer “Someone Waits” features virtuoso cellist Jo Quail who provides seductive, intertwining melodies which contrast the huge riffs underpinning Screamnasium’s sound.
The album artwork has been created by Tool guitarist Adam Jones and Marvel/DC Comics illustrator Denis Rodier.
“Screamnasium” will be available on CD, as a limited edition green vinyl LP, black vinyl LP and digital album.
