The Profile

Orthrelm is an American duo from Washington, D.C., formed by guitarist Mick Barr and drummer Josh Blair. Active since 2000, they’re known for hyper-technical, minimalist extremism—most famously the single 45:43 track OV (Ipecac, 2005) and the 99-fragment blitz of Asristir Vieldriox (2002).

Members: Mick Barr (guitar) and Josh Blair (drums). Origin: Washington, D.C., USA. Influences and comparisons in reviews reference Naked City/John Zorn. OV was released on Ipecac Recordings in 2005 and runs 45:43 as a single continuous piece.

Three reviews chart Orthrelm’s extremism: a Washington, D.C. duo shredding genre lines with guitar-and-drums only. Asristir Vieldriox (2002) crams 99 micro-fragments into ~12 minutes; Iorxhscimtor hurls twelve hyper-technical blasts; OV (2005, Ipecac) is a single 45:43 trance of relentless precision. Influences trace to Naked City/John Zorn. Polarizing sound, high admiration for skill and audacity.
