New Cross Live and Modern Misery present Black Orchid Empire. BLACK ORCHID EMPIRE create huge, memorable rock music that combines heavy-hitting savagery with intense melodic beauty. Their technical, fearlessly complex grooves and gigantic sing-along choruses have earned them a widespread fanbase. A ferociously tight live band, they have toured Europe and the UK extensively, supporting Skunk Anansie, HED P.E, INME, Cellar Darling and Black Map, with festival slots at Download, Standon Calling, Tech Fest, Teddy Rocks and Planet Rockstock. Following album releases with Long Branch Records and Season Of Mist, they signed with Year Of The Rat Records, gaining support from BBC Radio 1, Spotify and Kerrang, and released fourth single ‘The Labyrinth’ on 7th November 2025. + supports.
