Orange Goblin

They’re back, Stinkin’ O’ Gin, more punked up, and dirtier than ever! The mighty Orange Goblin return and are set to take on the world with the release of their new album Coup De Grace. Produced by legendary bass maestro Scott Reeder (Kyuss, Obsessed, Unida, Across The River) Coup De Grace, the fourth instalment for The Music Cartel/Rise Above Records sees a more confident, stripped down beast. This is a band fuelled up and ready to burn!. Coup De Grace is a celebration of all things close to the heart of the band, who unashamedly wear their influences on their sleeves. In the nü metal era, Orange Goblin are standing up and shouting out loud for the voice of true British heavy rock to be heard – no rapping’ hip hop beats and pretend riffs here – this is pure unadulterated, straightforward rock’n’roll the way it should be.

The world of Orange Goblin has far more to do with the stance and road warrior attitude of the intrinsically English rock and metal bands of the sixties, seventies and eighties, the days when playing live was the bands real job, and not just a tool to market albums. Orange Goblin’s live shows amply demonstrate this, taking you back to the days of unison clapping, head banging and the loudest riffs that cheap speed and booze can influence. If you’re lucky, you may even see a fight!

If Orange Goblin bothered with having a philosophy: It would be to live on the road, play loud and extremely heavy music, entertain, but most importantly to have fun. Their first two albums managed to capture this fun and excitement onto disc. Frequencies From Planet Ten and Time Travelling Blues are essential Goblin albums. However, it was the third album, The Big Black that really solidified the Goblin’s position as one of the major league players in rock.
