Orplid is a neofolk, martial, post-industrial and experimental music group of German musicians, Uwe Nolte and . The name is drawn from the poem by Eduard Mörike, beginning ‘Du bist Orplid, mein Land’ ('You are Orplid, my land').[1] 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.
