'''Orplid''' is a [neofolk](/source/neofolk), [martial](/source/Martial_industrial), [post-industrial](/source/post-industrial_music) and [experimental music](/source/experimental_music) group of German musicians, [Uwe Nolte](/source/Uwe_Nolte) and [Frank Machau](/source/Frank_Machau). The name is drawn from the poem [Gesang Weylas](/source/Gesang_Weylas) by [Eduard Mörike](/source/Eduard_M%C3%B6rike), beginning ‘Du bist Orplid, mein Land’ ('You are Orplid, my land').<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.answers.com/topic/gesang-weylas |title = Answers - The Most Trusted Place for Answering Life's Questions| website=[Answers.com](/source/Answers.com) }}</ref> Orplid in the poem is a faraway fantasy land. The band has progressed over the course of their discography from acoustic folk peppered with instruments like the piano, organ, and cello, to a more experimental minimalistic style.
