This is one we’ve been waiting for! One of the titans of the Filipino metalcore scene ORCA have returned for their first drop of 2025 with their impressive new single ‘OAD’.

This track is ORCA is in their truest form. An anthem about reclaiming strength, identity, and purpose after being dragged through hardships. The theme around here lately is resilience and rising up, and this song fits in beautifully. It’s for the underdogs who didn’t just survive, but thrived both through and from adversity.

Gritty riffs, and complex rhythms, colliding with raw emotion in its lyricism, ‘OAD’ is honest, is heavy and all around an absolute massive tune from the band.

The metalcore quartet from Manila are a band that have a cult following amongst the South East Asian scene. The first Filipino act to compete in the International Leg of the Wacken Metal Battle, they keep going from strength to strength- making them one of the hottest acts to watch. Make sure you check out this new one because this has the potential to put them amongst the heavyweights of modern metalcore.

You can stream ‘OAD’ on where you get your music now.
