VORHEX ANGEL
Sometime around 2024, Vorhex Angel emerged out of the ether: no social media presence, no identities, simply their name popping up in Nashville or New Orleans on a flyer here and there. The curious who attended their live show were met with any number of unexpected things that spiked the senses: elaborate stage dressing, strobe lights (alternatively, complete darkness), burning things, pre-performance ingestibles. The music at those functions matched the mystery. The band was loud, unhinged, and visceral as all hell.
Critical praise of Heavenly (2025):
“If ever there were heirs to the maelstrom of High Rise, Vorhex Angel would be at the top of the list. The band brings together members of JEFF The Brotherhood and Silver Synthetic into an exhaust cloud of motor oil and mayhem..“ — Raven Sings the Blues
“The band’s blasted musical language is indebted to, among other inputs, the long history of Japanese psych and noise music."
— Nina Protocol

If the group’s two live releases and debut Heavenly are visceral (Raven Sings the Blues did name them “heirs to the maelstrom of High Rise”), then followup Drain stands in contrast as their cerebral offering. The sprawling experimental double album’s seven tracks guide the listener from morning to night with larger than life guitar solos, spaced-out drone excursions, and moments of potent intensity throughout. For the first time, we see Vorhex Angel trade their pummeling sonic onslaught for moody, dramatic pastures. The band—revealed to be brothers Jake and Jamin Orrall of JEFF the Brotherhood and Silver Synthetic’s Kunal Prakash—push the parameters of the Vorhex Angel concept outward, inviting new players into their circle, adding more risk and generating more reward. “Drain is not in-the-background cooking-type music,” warns Kunal, before winking: “Maybe it is for particularly adventurous chefs.”
