ORGA MECHA is a Southern California band that melds traditional heavy metal with electronic textures and futuristic, sci-fi driven themes!
The music of ORGA MECHA weaves 1980s sounds in the vein of Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and Dio with synths, glitchy vocal effects and electronic drums heard among artists such as Dance With the Dead and Muse. Thematically, the group focuses on classic science fiction, societal decay and heavy metal unity.
ORGA MECHA is composed of Melissa Pinion (vocals/keyboards; also of STYGIAN CROWN), Raoul Rañoa (lead guitar), Rob D (bass), and Richie “Captain Black” Brooks (drums; also of NINTH CIRCLE).
Named in homage to the 2001 Stephen Spielberg classic “Artificial Intelligence,” ORGA MECHA's robust debut full-length album aims to reach both longtime classic fans, as well as metalheads looking to explore unchartered terrain.
“It’s all about classic metal, sci-fi and keytars. We’re excited to finally unleash this project and our music!” - Orga Mecha
Humanity.exe will be released June 26 on digital and CD (U.S. only) formats.
FFO: Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Dio, Dance With the Dead
