On this episode of Good Noise Podcast, I’m joined by Paul Visser from Black Orchid Empire to talk about their album LORE. We dive into the atmosphere and intensity behind the record, exploring the themes that shape the album and how the band approached crafting its sound.

Paul shares insight into the writing process, the influences behind LORE, and how the album reflects both creative growth and a deeper exploration of the band’s identity. We also talk about balancing melody and heaviness, evolving as artists, and what this release represents for Black Orchid Empire moving forward.
