Orange Goblin

London's Orange Goblin specializes in harsh doom and stoner metal with deep space rock and blues underpinnings, striking a similar tone to greasy, groove-heavy outfits like Kyuss, Electric Wizard, and Fu Manchu. Beginning with 1997's frenzied Frequencies from Planet 10, Orange Goblin established itself as both a formidable live act and a versatile studio band, delivering hefty sonic tomes that were built on a foundation of stoner metal and classic hard rock but also bristled with nervy punk energy. After making significant waves in the underground, the band hit its commercial peak in 2012 with the release of their critically acclaimed seventh LP, A Eulogy for the Damned. Subsequent efforts like Back from the Abyss, The Wolf Bites Back, and Science, Not Fiction continued to poke around the edges of the heavy music spectrum but maintained the band's penchant for pairing Sabbathy riffage with pungent biker groove-metal.
