Biography
Unorthodox, which evolved from the by-then-defunct band Obstination, were originally called Asylum. They changed their name to Unorthodox after a band with a similar name achieved national success. They were one of many Maryland bands to be picked up in the early 90s by Germany's Hellhound Records. They released two albums, 1993's Asylum and 1995's Balance of Power.
In 1994 Doom Records released an album entitled A Double Dose of Doom featuring Obstination and Rat Salad (who would go on to become Iron Man). Obstination features Dale Flood and the record features an Asylum song.
The band has been on again, off again but is still together. Recently they had a song, "Lifeline" on Doom Capital (2004 Crucial Blast Records). In 2007 Bipolar Demand Records re-released Asylum and included three bonus tracks. The band has recorded a third album, Awaken, which was released on The Church Within Records in October 2008.
