Brilliant new video right here
Black Orchid Empire have revealed an anime-style music video for ‘This City’, the third single to be taken from the band’s upcoming debut album, Archetype.
The video was produced by digital animation studio RamJam.
“We all absolutely love anime and the freedom of expression that the medium allows, and it’s been incredibly exciting to be able to explore that with this video, rounding out the stories we’ve told with our previous singles by showing this dystopian, sterile future,”explains frontman Paul Visser. “The guys at RamJam did an incredible job, and we’ve been absolutely blown away by the results all the way through the process. We can’t wait for you guys to check out what we’ve created – plus seeing ourselves portrayed anime-style is just badass.”

The London-based rock trio will release Archetype on November 11th.
“Archetype is a rock album. A proper all-in, listen-from-start-to-finish journey; something to get caught up in and obsess over until you hear little overlooked details on the third or fourth play-through.” comments frontman Paul Visser.
He continues… “For us, each song is something that needs to be refined and worked on until it takes you on that perfect, heady rollercoaster – our album as a whole is the same way. It’s dark, it’s heavy, it’s melodic, it’s complex, but all in balance and all working together in the best interests of the record. We’re incredibly proud of this album – it really does define us as a band.”
Black Orchid Empire have performed alongside heavyweights such as Biffy Clyro, Skunk Anansie, Feeder and Editors and include previous members of highly-acclaimed groups Queen Adreena and Cape Fear. They have enjoyed significant support for their previous singles, having been playlisted on Kerrang! TV, Kerrang! Radio, Planet Rock and Total Rock.
Black Orchid Empire recently announced their UK headline tour, which kicks off with a special album launch show in London on November 10th.
