Pittsburgh metal band Code Orange announced that they would livestream their album release show from an empty concert venue on Saturday. Other artists are also exploring the option.

The news that Pennsylvania metalcore band Code Orange would need to postpone their album release show for their latest album at Pittsburgh's The Roxian was a devastating blow to the band. Besides live performances being such an integral part of the album promotion process, the quintet wrote in a tweet that they'd planned for the show to be a"cathartic release.

"[W]e have been racking our brains on how to present our art live in this extremely uncertain time-one that truly reflects everything we are trying to work through on," the band wrote in a statement"Things feel cold, ruthless, noisey [sic], confusing and disconnected. But we all must refuse to tap out.", will be broadcast beginning at 9 p.m. EST. The band wrote that fans will be able to donate money and purchase merch that was to be sold at the gig, via the online show.

"We need to make two versions of this plan. One: that we could maybe still do this, with the show, because we don't know what's going to happen going forward," Morgan told."Another: we do it empty-arena match style and be the first ones to do it, and try to give everyone the show we've been working so hard on, and turn this negative to at least a little bit of a positive or something enjoyable for people who like heavy music.

"Let this be known: we love and respect you all and we hope you can enjoy this record. It feels eerily timely..." the band wrote before including a line from the title track fromCode Orange performs onstage during Adult Swim Festival 2018 at ROW DTLA on October 7, 2018 in Los Angeles, California.
