Orphanage started out as a project in 1993, after which they released 2 demo tapes, 2 studio albums and a live CD. Extensive club-tours were held throughout the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Austria and Switzerland; some of the raving festival shows were at "Dynamo Open Air" (twice !), "Graspop", the "Summer Metal Meeting" and "A Campingflight to Lowlands Paradise". Audiences throughout Northern Europe react with great enthousiasm when they hear Orphanage play on stage, among colleagues like Kreator, the Gathering, Grip inc., Sodom, Samael, and My Dying Bride. Guest appearances on stage have included members of Within Temptation, Exodus, Celestial Season, Gorefest, a 5-piece horn-section, a string quartet and a 14-piece Gregorian Choir ! In mid October 2005 the band announced that they had split up.
