History
Established in 1993, Orphanage initially produced the demo recordings Morph (1993) and Druid (1994). Their first full-length album, Oblivion, was succeeded by By Time Alone the following year. In 1997, the EP At the Mountains of Madness was released, paving the way for their 2000 album Inside, which required three years to complete. Their last studio album, Driven, appeared in 2004. The group officially dissolved on 18 October 2005.
