Hive Mind by Maneating Orchid
“..notch up on their unsparing style of prog meets mathcore.” – Rolling Stone
“Twisted, visceral... highly acrobatic…” – Apple Music
"...a challenging listen with its lack of hooks and unpredictable structures... commands complete attention.” – The Metal Wanderlust
“Refreshing... Voivod-infested, thrash-prog slab of wonderfulness…” - Machine Music
“...expertly crafted and executed dissonant mathcore/prog rock/prog metal… one of those records that will take you weeks if not months to really peel away the immense layers of extreme music goodness.” – Unite Asia
“One of the more challenging releases of the year... impressive” – Mathcore Index

Maneating Orchid return with their 2nd full-length album "Hive Mind," which sees the band dialing up their sonic intensity and pushing their notorious brand of prog into more bizarre territories.
The new album features 10 anomalous tracks that take a rancorous jab at neo-fascism, government surveillance, coded bias, urban decay, fake news, despotism, and more.
Featuring a raw and honest yet ferocious production, "Hive Mind" is set to cement the band's unapologetic commitment to breaking conventions in the subcontinental underground.
