O.R.K. PRESENT SCREAMNASIUM, THE NEW ALBUM FROM EX-PORCUPINE TREE BASSIST COLIN EDWIN, AWARD-WINNING COMPOSER/VOCALIST LEF, KING CRIMSON’S PAT MASTELOTTO, AND MARTA SUITUBI’S CARMELO PIPITONE

The expansive and emotive, Screamnasium is O.R.k’s most essential album to date. Spontaneous yet intricately crafted, it is perhaps the most concise statement of the band's sonic aims yet.

With the quartet having formed a strong creative bond over the course of three previous studio albums and with countless miles clocked up on tour, the highly anticipated follow up to 2018’s acclaimed Ramagehead has finally arrived. The pent up, derailed energies of O.R.k. have found a release with their gutsy and striking new album Screamnasium.

Setting the pace, the lead single/album opener As I Leave delivers the distilled O.R.k. spirit directly to the listener. Lef’s powerful vocals, Carmelo Pipitone’s energetic riffing, Pat Mastelotto’s inventive rhythmic accompaniment and Colin Edwin’s distinctive bass tones all infuse Screamnasium with a refreshed intensity and a new luminosity. Energy levels are maintained throughout the 42 minute runtime as O.R.k. state the case for optimism, tolerance and inclusivity - these are hopeful anthems for an increasingly uncertain world.

A highlight is Consequence, where Lef spars with Grammy-winning vocal phenom Elisa, best known outside her native Italy for her collaboration with the legendary Ennio Morricone on Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained soundtrack.

Album closer Someone Waits features virtuoso cellist Jo Quail who provides seductive, intertwining melodies that contrast the huge riffs underpinning Screamnasium’s sound.

The creative duo of Grammy-winning art director Adam Jones (of Tool) and Marvel/DC Comics illustrator Denis Rodier have handled the artwork and layout to create an iconic album artwork with remarkable visual imagery, while mixing and Mastering duties have been undertaken by Machine (Lamb of God, King Crimson, Clutch).

Encompassing a wide breadth of emotional landscapes, Screamnasium is the perfect catharsis for our troubled times. The album will be released on 21 October 2022.
