The video will be a 30 minute shoot in front of the building on 2020 Commerce st, between 6:30pm-7pm. COME MAKE IT HAPPEN. You dont have to do nothin but stand there and look pretty. act natural. say Hi to the band as they arrive. This video shoot and interview will be recorded and aired and edited into a music video dvd of a new song from BLACK ORCHID RITUAL's 2nd cd. COME BE A PART OF IT. Imagine seeing a professional music video of our song and you and your friends somewhere on it. It'll probably be clips of many shots edited in the video, but if you show up you'll definitly be in the video. THE INTERVIEW and PARTY'S INSIDE . Lots of drinks and questions, EVEN A ACOUSTIC SET of songs played by the band LIVE on the air and recorded. ”

“BLACK ORCHID RITUAL, a new Hard Rock/Metal band arising from Houston,Texas gaining ground in innovation and unique songwriting. BLACK ORCHID RITUAL has many song and theme images and one of their favorites is their subtle Horror movie like macabre fashion,Hinting of Religious lyrical subject matter,Modern Witches,Politics,War Mongers,impending gloom and doom and songs of true life ghost stories,But images and themes are versatile as their music. With a Debut cd ,performances are in Demand.so stay tuned for the next ritual.”
