About Orgy

Orgy is an American industrial rock band that emerged from Los Angeles, California, in 1997. Known for pioneering a sound they describe as "death pop," the band's primary musical style blends industrial rock, electronic rock, and alternative metal. They gained significant recognition with their 1998 debut album, "Candyass," which featured their iconic cover of New Order's "Blue Monday" and the original hit "Stitches," solidifying their place in late 90s music as innovators of a darkly captivating fusion of industrial aggression and pop sensibility.

  • The band's name, "Orgy," was chosen to symbolize an "orgy of musical styles" rather than a sexual connotation, reflecting their diverse influences from drum-and-bass to hair metal, funk grooves, and 80s synth bands.
  • Their debut album, "Candyass," achieved significant commercial success, selling nearly two million copies and propelling them into the limelight.
  • Frontman Jay Gordon performed with his godfather, Sly Stone, at the age of two, and later underwent laser surgery at 16 to repair vocal cord damage, which contributed to his distinctive growl.
  • Orgy was the first act to be signed to Korn's imprint label, Elementree Records, a subsidiary of Reprise.
