| Orion was originally formed in July 2000 by original members Alisdair McLaren, Iain McLaren and Paul Spencer. After extensive auditions the band became a six piece, including current lead guitar specialist Troy D, Ryan Samson, and vocalist James Hartley. On September 5th 2000 the band made its first apearance at the Cockburn Battle of the Bands under the name of "Warlock". Since then the band has undergone many changes including a new Vocalist Sam Korn and a name change to ORION. After many long hours spent in the Rehearsal Studio, ORION made its pub debut on February 2nd 2001 at the Whitesands Hotel. Oryon (As they are now known) is an all original traditional power metal band. |
