2016 looks set to be Dorje’s year.
Dorje’s first ever release, Primordial Audio Chronicle, formed the backbone of one of Indiegogo’s most successful crowdfunding campaigns of 2012; the video for their signature track Aeromancy has attracted some 800,000 views to date; and 2015’s Catalyst EP managed to top album charts across the Internet. Not a bad backstory for a band who are essentially an industry unto themselves, hitting heights that even bands with serious label backing struggle to reach.
All – the second Catalyst EP track given a spectacular music video treatment so far – is one of the most punishingly passionate and brutally frank tracks of the five on offer on said extended player. Visually, All offers a stark contrast to the video for Catalyst – a bright and beautiful stunner, shot using drones in Malta, that was so professionally pulled off that some YouTube commenters thought the end result was achieved using a green screen. All represents Dorje’s dark side, all determinedly honest lyrics set over a masterfully dynamic rock structure.
If you dig the video below, head here for more about the full Catalyst EP. It was one of my top EPs of 2015 for a reason – and you’re about to hear and see one of five reasons why it ranked so highly.
TMMP RATING: 100% (As always with Dorje. Never a note out of place.)
