Orions Belte
There are some places and moments that tie people together forever, whether it be a place, a song, or something you can't quite define through words. The origins of Orions Belte stemmed from one of those mystical moments in time, which spawned a lasting creative connection. The first time all three members—Øyvind, Chris, and Kim—met up to work on ideas, they ended up recording their entire first album over a weekend together.
Orions Belte uses the band as a platform to explore different aspects of what an instrumental band can be, resulting in everything from separate solo albums, live recordings from digital streams in the Norwegian nature, EPs containing eccentric covers, to studio albums that create soundscapes that pull you in and draw out emotions in ways that only they know how.
Their strong connection inspires them to write music that feels natural and authentic, focusing on strong melodies and grooves resonating with their worldwide fanbase. Described by Atwood Magazine as "an eclectic fusion of disparate styles and exciting sounds that says what it wants to say through memorable melodies, ambient drones, and a stockpile of wicked guitar riffs."
