Orthodox (band)

Orthodox (commonly stylized as ORTHODOX, sometimes specified as Orthodox TN or Orthodox Straight Edge) is a metalcore band from Nashville, Tennessee, formed in 2011. The lineup consists of lead vocalist Adam Easterling, guitarist Austin Evans, bass guitarist Shiloh Krebs, and drummer Mike White. They released their first studio album End Of My Wit in 2013 and followed up the next year in 2014 with their extended play Give Me A Reason, both on Clear Minded Records. In 2015, the band released a split EP with Michigan hardcore band Breaking Wheel. They then signed to Unbeaten Records, releasing their sophomore studio album Sounds of Loss in 2017 and third studio album Let It Take Its Course in 2020. They are currently signed to Century Media Records, and have released the single 'Body and Soul' on October 15, 2021, fourth studio album Learning to Dissolve on August 19, 2022, and follow-up single 'Soaking Nerves' on June 26, 2023. They have toured with bands such as Spite, The Acacia Strain, Varials, Harm's Way, Kublai Khan TX, and Stick to Your Guns.

The band's sonic style is described by Adam Easterling as "big pants music", blending traditional metallic hardcore with the aggressive groove metal aggression of bands such as Meshuggah and Slipknot, and the nu metal bounce of bands such as Korn and System of a Down, creating a unique, catchy, and haunting brand of nu metalcore
