On A Door Left Open, Orthodox capture the sense of unease and full-on dread one would feel having their comfort and routine violated. What got inor what got out?
Vocalist Adam Easterling commented on the latest single: 'This is about a reoccurring dream I would get every time we left for tour that my house was burning down and I couldnt make it home in time to save it.
