The only question I have is where the hell is Solace when you need them? Every winter, Orange Goblin treat the UK to a booze-fest like none other with Solace in tow, and now they’re finally coming Stateside and their partners in crime are nowhere to be found. Not even on the New York show? I like The Gates of Slumber and Naam as much as the next guy, but come on.

Nonetheless, this will rule, because that’s what Orange Goblin do. Quoth the PR wire:

Orange Goblin, the heavy-hitting British metal band that has inspired a generation of up-and-coming rock acts has announced a US headlining tour. The spring trek will kick off on May 28 in New York City and will also see the band perform as part of the 2011 Maryland Death Fest. Support on the tour will be provided by The Gates of Slumber and Naam.

Special guests on the Orange Goblin tour include Indianapolis doom metal heroes The Gates of Slumber (who will also be touring in support of their forthcoming album) and Brooklyn‘s Naam, who have turned heads with their unique bass-heavy brand of psych rock.
