Orange Robes Words: Herman de Kok Music: My Own Army Best friends take the stage Accepting the beatings Sing like you mean it Can I be ignored? With a clock on everything It’s hard to show With all these broken bones Yesterday’s favourite Now show me the door Shuffling his memories once again To get a clearer view on everything Where’s the door …show me the door His face among the many Whispers from corners These patient vultures All enjoying their moment Now show me the door Shuffling his memories once again To get a clearer view on everything Where’s the door …show me the door Covered in diamonds You’re coming to see me now Uncompromising Burning my tired eyes Overstepping my welcome But I wasn’t built this way I’m searching for God in Orange Robes While keeping the promise I made

RCHASE DISCOUNTED MERCHANDISE AT OUR WEBSHOP VIA THIS LINK:

*Bandcamp items sales price is inflated to compensate for percentage taken by Bandcamp.

'A King On Every Corner', a 10-track album from alternative progressive rock band My Own Army, is their 5th album. The release of the album was preceded by the release of the single Orange Robes on 7/July. The official release date for the album, (digital and physical) is 8 Sept 2023.

The lyrical message of the album is powerful, reminding the listener that there is a King On Every Corner trying to influence his followers, and if you don’t walk your own path it will be a dead end street; you risk losing control over things that you’ve taken for granted in life. My Own Army have softened their grunge rock sound on this album by adding more progressive rock power riffs and swaying time signatures, fortified with electric sparks.

About the band:
With over a decade of creating music together, My Own Army, an alternative progressive rock band hailing from Rotterdam, Netherlands, are venerable veterans of the Dutch rock scene.

Inspired by bands such as A Perfect Circle, Alice in Chains, Tool, and Oceansize, My Own Army is a band that continually looks to surpass their boundaries both musically and lyrically. The band gives an energetic and dynamic live performance, mixing a bombastic bass-and-drums-driven rock sound with melodic and atmospheric vocals, electronic beats and wailing lead guitars.
