Chromatic Orb Band

Chromatic Orb is a concept album project from Germany that started as a joke at a Dungeons & Dragons table. In early 2023, guitarist and songwriter Berkay Özbek decided to merge his two passions; music and table top role playing games by transforming his D&D campaign into a metal concept album. The goal was to create a sound that is darker , like the campaign itself, and more aggressive compared to classic Power Metal acts still maintaining the epic feel.

For recording he teamed up with a group of talented musicians including vocalists Onur Çobanoğlu and Elvya. Project's influences range from Pink Floyd to Opeth, from Blind Guardian to Soilwork and many others. Chromatic Orb's sound is very diverse; death growls, raspy cleans and female vocals along with bluesy guitar licks and dark acoustic passages, anthem like choruses and in your face groovy riffs. All driven by the dark story and serve as narrative tools alongside the lyrics.

The first single of the project, The Battle for Nia-Koro, released in early June 2023. The composing and recording process is ongoing and releasing a new song each month during 2023 is the current goal.
