Metal Orizon rises from ashes with third album

One of the first rock bands in the country, Metal Orizon were a hit with local rock music lovers in the late 1990s and early 2000s, but were left shell-shocked by the death of Spencer Sekwababe who passed away in 2003 after a short illness.

However, there was renewed optimism with the coming of the second album - Myopic Enslavement - in 2004 (the first one, entitled Ancestral Blessings came out in 1998) which contained my favourite, We Are Rolling. The lyrics said it all: "We're gonna rock and roll with you/We gonna take all of you on our way/With no one left behind we are rocking/You're gonna ride on our wave/To the far away places/Time will never matter coz we're on the roll."
