Melbourne’s heavy experimental creatives Orsome Welles will be releasing their long awaited new EP titled Rise on May 26.
The band have just unveiled another striking music video, this time for the track, Father’s Eyes.
With mind bending lighting and stunning performances, the thrilling video takes you deep into the Australian bush, and leaves you to fend for yourself. The video sets up Orsome Welles as a troop of woodsmen under the oppression of a foolish ringleader, who ultimately turn on their boss with ritualistic torment, mirroring the creepiness found in Hollywood’s greatest thrillers.
Orsome Welles frontman Michael Stowers comments: "'Father’s Eyes' is a powerful and punchy exploration of patriarchal loyalty and freedom. I always have an overwhelming feeling of hazardous abandonment whilst singing this song, kind of like watching a young bird take flight for the first time. I love the rapid undulations blended with authoritative flow that underpin the music.’'
The video clip was directed by the incomparable Adrian Goleby, who has previously worked with Caligula’s Horse, Devin Townsend, The Ocean & many others.

Rise was produced, mixed and recorded by Matt D'Arcy at Basin Productions amongst the picturesque foot hills of Melbourne’s Dandenong ranges, with mastering duties handled by Steve Smart at Studios 301 in Sydney.
Orsome Welles ended 2016 on a major high, touring nationally with fellow Wild Thing Presents comrades Circles, and appearing at the sold out Progfest in Melbourne where they were a major crowd favourite, receiving rave reviews “Orsome Welles have found an approach to prog-rock that no other band has achieved.” - Heavy Mag
“The band is in devastating form…their live set just gets bigger, badder and bolder with every show they play.” - The Music
“Vocalist Michael Stowers’ operatic wail truly elevates them into the prog rock cosmos.” - Beat Magazine
Orsome Welles are a band that defy classification. An unconventional merge of progressive and heavy, overlaid with an early 20th century panache; pounding grooves, infused with intricate instrumentality and raw uncaged power.
Their avant-garde live show, exemplified by their musical ferociously offset by the soulful, soaring vocals of enigmatic frontman Michael Stowers is a sight to behold.
Since arriving on the scene in 2014 with their Erth News Bulletin EP, Orsome Welles have received praise from all areas of international heavy scene.
They have supported global heavyweights such as Trivium, Seether, Orphaned Land and The Ocean and played with the best of the best of the burgeoning Australian prog-rock heavy scene including Twelve Foot Ninja, Ne Obliviscaris, Caligula’s Horse, Voyager, and more.
Enjoy!
