Orange Goblin to Record New Album in November
So this is the kind of thing that, as a nerd generally and an Orange Goblin fan in particular, I should probably be well stoked on. ‘Good band is gonna make a record’ is almost always welcome news even if it means I’m probably on the hook for buying a CD of that record, if one is even made. Orange Goblin are signed to Peaceville now. They’ve bounced around a bit in the last couple years; playing fests and so on since 2022 and bringing in Harry Armstrong on bass, they also released 2020’s digital-first Rough & Ready: Live & Loud (review here) on Dissonance Productions, and you might remember their ninth studio LP, 2018’s The Wolf Bites Back (review here), was on Spinefarm. Pretty funny they show up on Peaceville though some 30 years after starting out in the deathlier Our Haunted Kingdom, influenced by the likes of Paradise Lost and others from the label’s oeuvre.
And generally speaking, I guess I am stoked on the prospect of a new Orange Goblin record. There’s a lot that can happen between now and when it eventually comes out, but I saw the band this past summer — even rode in the van with them back to the hotel where they were staying (I was residing elsewhere) — and they killed with vigor and resonant verve. The Wolf Bites Back was pretty metal. I’ll be interested to hear where album 10 takes them. I’ll try and tamp down the nerdery accordingly.
From socials:
It’s been a while since we posted as we have been busy in the rehearsal room writing and fine tuning new material ahead of the 10th Orange Goblin studio album. We will enter a recording studio in England in November to start laying it down, our first album since 2018’s ‘The Wolf Bites Back’ and first for new label, Peaceville Records. We have 10 new songs pretty much ready to go and are very excited to share these with you, hopefully to be released in the first half of 2024.
