Heavy metal legends Orange Goblin just can’t contain their excitement about their new album ‘Back From The Abyss‘. Frontman Ben Ward took to the internet to comment on the band’s upcoming opus.
“”Back from the Abyss” is the sound of Orange Goblin firing on all cylinders! From the Sabbathian, weighty-groove of ‘Sabbath Hex,’ the Motorhead-styled punk snarl of ‘The Devil’s Whip,’ the epic, Maiden-esque gallop of ‘Mythical Knives,’ through to the apocalyptic doom of ‘The Shadow Over Innsmouth;’ this is the best of all of our individual influences pulled together. We have created the definitive Orange Goblin album.
“Following the great, worldwide reception of ‘A Eulogy For The Damned’ and the subsequent 2 years of touring everywhere, we knew we had a lot to live up to. But we were prepared and entered the studio armed with an arsenal of killer riffs! They are all present on this album, continuing the Orange Goblin trend of never being afraid to move forward or trying something new. By doing so we have created a unique, heavy sound that lies somewhere between doom, stoner, classic metal, 70’s inspired heavy-rock, punk, blues and everything in between.
“We worked with producer Jamie Dodd at The Animal Farm in London again as he did such a great job on the last record and I think he has even gone one better this time around! Adding Jamie’s amazing production to the outstanding performances and songwriting of the band, we have made an album we are all very proud of.
“Our last album gave the band new life and sent us off into the unknown. This new album sees Orange Goblin stretching the limits once more………Back from the Abyss and ready to rock all over again!!”
What we’ve heard already from the upcoming album, it does indeed rock pretty hard. Looking forward to the full release and getting some more greasy metal down our throats! The album is released October 7th via Candlelight Records.
