Among the comments on YouTube also included the viewers pointing out the band's flaws despite having pre-recorded tracks.

One said, "I was there. Horrible set. And at the end when I thought they can make it better with playing Blue Monday, the moron jumps off the stage and gets fans to sing in the mic for him. I said to myself how are they one of the first bands to be playing and it made sense lol."

"I was hyped to hear what orgy sounds like after all these years and it's 90% backing tracks!!" another wrote. "Sh*t is sad."

Orgy became the latest music act to be hit by backing vocals and track controversy.

Months before the recent issue, Orgy graced the industry with its new goth anthem, "Empty."

Upon the release, Jay Gordon expressed his excitement about being able to release new tracks for Orgy. He also pledged everyone to share more of them in the next coming months or years.

"As we move toward a new direction musically speaking, I wanted to put a track out that has a bit of that signature Orgy sound, and hint at what's coming next," he continued. "Hope everyone will see the big picture and enjoy this track called 'Empty' about being drained from always trying to make everyone happy."
