Industrial rock band Orgy, celebrating 25 years of its debut album “Candyass,” will head out on a co-headline tour with Cold in spring 2024. Tickets are on sale now.
In addition, Orgy will release remastered vinyl versions of its first two albums—”Candyass” (1998) and “Vapor Transmission” (2000)—on Feb. 2, 2024.
“Hey guys, I’m excited to announce our upcoming tour with Orgy, Cold, Horizon Theory and I Ya Toyah,” Orgy frontman Jay Gordon said. “We will be headed out in April and May. So make sure to get your tickets early, so you get a chance to come check all of us out. It’s been a minute since Orgy has done a full tour, so I couldn’t be happier about that. We will be playing new songs as well as tons of your favorite classic Orgy songs, as we have just released both ‘Candyass’ (25 years ) and ‘Vapor Transmission’ on vinyl.
“Everyone in the band is crazy excited about the tour, so I can assure you, it will be well worth the price of admission! Hope to see all of you at the shows! Peace and love.”
Cold frontman Scooter Ward said: “Cold is excited to be back out on the road with Orgy this Spring on our co-headline tour for their anniversary of the album ‘Candyass.’ That album has always been a staple record for an era of music that changed the landscape for things to come in our genre. Looking forward to being a part of the celebration!”

Orgy was the first act signed by Korn’s Jonathan Davis to his Elementree imprint, and the move paid off right away with its 1998 debut, which went top 30 and scored a huge hit with its cover of New Order’s “Blue Monday.” With the full cooperation of the band, “Candyass” has been remastered for vinyl (by Mike Milchner of Sonic Vision) and placed inside a gatefold jacket. This pressing is clear with red and yellow swirl .
Orgy welcomed the new millennium with another smash album replete with sci-fi themes appropriate to the epochal period of its release (and no doubt influenced by the previous year’s unveiling of “The Matrix”). The vinyl reissue includes the bonus track “The Spectrum,” which only appeared on the first 1,000 copies of the CD, and comes in a gatefold jacket. It has been remastered for vinyl by Mike Milchner of Sonic Vision, and pressed in red and yellow “plasma” vinyl.
