‘Portraits’ is a unique 5-track EP, with each member contributing one song to its entirety, resulting in Orpheus Omega’s most eclectic and distinct release to date. The EP features collaborations and guest appearances from an impressive roster of musicians, including Andy Gillion (Andy Gillion/ Ex-Mors Principium Est), Bjorn ‘Speed’ Strid (Soilwork/ Night Flight Orchestra), Jukka Pelkonen and Markus Vanhala (Omnium Gatherum), and Jim Grey (Caligula’s Horse). With this release, the band aims to convey a truly raw and honest portrayal of each member’s story so far.
