Orgy ft. Jon Davis - Revival (Live @ Family Values '98)

Orgy was formed in 1996 by vocalist Jay Gordon and guitarist Ryan Shuck. The name referred to a "collage", or orgy of different styles in their music. Bassist Paige Haley, guitarist Amir Derakh, and former Electric Love Hogs drummer Bobby Hewitt soon completed the lineup. All were veterans of the late '80s/early '90s Los Angeles "hair metal" club scene. Derakh had previously gained some fame in the 80s metal band Rough Cutt, and Hewitt was a former member of Electric Love Hogs. Gordon and Derakh were also experienced producers, having produced Coal Chamber's self-titled CD. Within six months Jonathan Davis, who performed with Shuck in Sexart, signed Orgy to Korn's label Elementree Records. In 1998, Orgy released their debut album, Candyass, selling nearly two million copies. Gordon described the subject matter of the material as "... bullshit ... lies and fairy tales." The album produced two singles; a cover of the New Order song "Blue Monday", and "Stitches". The song "Revival" featured Jonathan Davis of Korn.Orgy made their live debut at EdgeFest, an annual radio show in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1998. They also appeared on the Family Values Tour with Korn, Limp Bizkit, Ice Cube, Incubus, and Rammstein. They were featured on the live compilation album of the tour, released in 1999. Other tours with Love and Rockets and Sugar Ray followed. Their second album, the science fiction-themed Vapor Transmission, was released in 2000, with "Fiction (Dreams in Digital)" and "Opticon" as singles. In 2001, Orgy released the song "Faces" for the soundtrack of the film Zoolander. Orgy was a musical guest on WB's Charmed, performing "Opticon" in the episode "Sin Francisco". In late 2003 guitarists Shuck and Derakh formed a side project, Julien-K, as an outlet for electronic material they had come up with during the writing process for Orgy. They released their first album, titled Death to Analog, in March of 2009, and are producing Chester Bennington of Linkin Park's side project, Dead by Sunrise Jay Gordon also remixed the Linkin Park track "Points of Authority", for their album Reanimation, where it was renamed "Pts.Of.Athrty". After the release of Vapor Transmission, Orgy left Reprise Records and had already severed ties with Elementree. Gordon started his own independent record label, D1 Music, releasing the band's third album, Punk Statik Paranoia in 2004. When asked for an Orgy update in late July 2008 Ryan informed fans that Orgy's return is still underway but their priority is getting the much delayed Julien-K album released. During a video interview at the annual Californian NAMM 2009 convention, Derakh mentioned a 2009 Orgy reunion and possibly a surprise show. Orgy has sold nearly 3 million records worldwide.

Candyass was one of the best albums of the 90's. Very underappreciated.

@jcorsa

Its tuned stupid low, heavy (too much) distortion, probably some chorus. They may have even just pumped it through a computer and skipped all that to make it sound electronic-ey.
