Orchasm: a mix of the words Orgasm and Orchestra. Used to describe a genre of music that is often characterized by orchestra music fused with experimental black metal; the compositions usually begin quiet and with a skeleton crew of musical instruments, then, either gradually or quickly, become a riot of sound.
A good friend of mine came up with this term to describe a group of musicians who go by the name of God Speed You Black Emporer! I suspect this band's music will be hard to find, so I will include a link to one of their songs. Still, I encourage you to find this band; it is a wonderful addition to a great music collection.
