Orgy Turns Up The 'Static'
January 8, 2004

L.A.-based industrial act Orgy has wrapped its third album and will release it on Feb. 24 on the band's own D1 Music Label. Dubbed "Punk Static Paranoia," the set was produced by lead singer Jay Gordon. Orgy was previously inked to Korn's Warner Bros. imprint Elementree Records.

First single "The Obvious" was shipped to U.S. radio outlets in early December, and is available for streaming on the band's official Web site.

Orgy's breakthrough was a cover of New Order's "Blue Monday," which was featured on the band's 1998 debut, "Candyass."

The nine-track "Punk Static Paranoia" will be supported by a North American tour, dates for which will be announced at the end of the month, according to a spokesperson. Orgy intends to build D1 into a fully functioning label with a roster of young acts.
