Biography

Spawned by the fertile L.A. metal scene, Orgy adds catchy melodic hooks to the familiar mix of crushingly loud riffs and electronic-tinged production. Formed in late 1997, Orgy consists of vocalist Jay Gordon, guitarist Ryan Shuck, guitar synthesist Amir Derakh, bassist Paige Haley, and drummer Bobby Hewitt. Shuck had collaborated on material with Korn lead singer Jonathan Davis, while Derakh had produced several records for already-signed L.A. bands, so it was no surprise that Orgy became the first band signed to Korn's Elementree subsidiary of Reprise Records. Their debut album, Candyass, was released in 1998. Their cover of New Order's "Blue Monday" and second single, "Stitches," instantly pushed them into the mainstream. Dates supporting Love and Rockets and shows with Korn's Family Values Tour only fueled their popularity into the next year. Their experimental sci-fi sophomore effort Vapor Transmission, which hit number 16 on Billboard's Top 200, followed in 2000. Two years later, Jay Gordon and his Dad, Lou Gordon founded their own label, D1 Music. Founding drummer Bobby Hewitt also left the band for a three-month stint in Snake River Conspiracy although he participated in the recording sessions for Orgy's third album. Punk Statik Paranoia was planned for a February 2004 release. ~ Steve Huey, Rovi

    Lyrics
    How does it feel to treat me like you do
    When you've laid your hands upon me and told me who you are
    I thought I was mistaken , I thought I heard your words
    Tell me how do I feel tell me now? How do I feel?
    How does it feel?

    Lyrics
    She's lost in coma where it's beautiful
    Intoxicated from the deep sleep, deep sleep
    Do you wonder what it's like living in a permanent imagination
    Sleeping to escape reality, but you like it like that
    I guilty by design, she's nothing more than fiction

    Lyrics
    If it stayed I'd never leave it, if that turned around
    I'd grieve the special dirty things that we used to talk about
    I mean that loving you is strange and adored by me throughout
    Oh no it's you again
    Someday soon you'll find that someone

    Let's fake an answer for the curious
    Let's fake it all for the fame
    They'll think delivering was easy
    Living the fairy tales and the lies, lies

    I'm bringing back the time
    Because we know you're special
    And we think you know you're wrong
    I'm bringing back the time
    Because we know you're special
