Orange Goblin Announce Only US Appearance of 2017

orange goblin

The last few years have been once of marked dominance for Orange Goblin. They’ve emerged as a central point of influence for a massive underground movement in their hometown of London, and as they set their eyes on broader territory — i.e. touring, everywhere — they couldn’t seem to find a stage they didn’t subsequently crush. In the meantime, records like 2014’s Back from the Abyss (review here) and 2012’s A Eulogy for the Damned (review here) — as well as the 2013 live album, A Eulogy for the Fans (review here) — went a long way toward earning Orange Goblin wider respect that they’ve long since deserved.

And they’ve stepped rightly into focus as a headlining act, on tour and otherwise. They just hit Download, play SonicBlast Moledo 2017 next month, and this Fall, they’re already confirmed to take part in Desertfest Athens 2017 and Up in Smoke 2017. Then there was that time that drummer Chris Turner apparently got to hang out with Tony Iommi, which is always a win. Amid the nebulous notion of “working on” their ninth studio full-length, the band signed to Spinefarm Records in March 2016 prior to headlining at Freak Valley, and today they announce they’ll join such major commercial properties as Ozzy Osbourne, Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson at this year’s Ozzfest Meets Knotfest which (1:) is apparently a thing that exists and (2:) will mark their only US appearance for 2017.

They teased the announcement over this past weekend, and while I’ll be honest and say I was hoping for news about their next album, it’s good to see them continuing to get the respect and recognition they’ve long since earned on a bill like this one.

Word follows via the social medias:
