Orange Goblin are stoner/doom metal although have moved steadily heavier with a slight tinge of punk creeping in. They are heavily influenced by Black Sabbath, which can be heard throughout their albums, particulary the first three - Frequencies From Planet Ten, Time Traveling Blues and the acclaimed Big Black.

Currently they are signed with Candlelight Records and are working on new material to be released in 2012 - their first album with Candlelight Records.

Re: Orange Goblin

Great stoner band nololob. I was dissappointed with thier last two releases however. Hopefully thier new album will be reminescent of thier earlier releases. Looking forward to it. Here's thier cover of Sabbath's "Hand Of Doom":

Re: Orange Goblin

Don't have time to check them out right now, but nice OP Nolo.

Nice one Nolo, I have been getting more and more into this band I really like gear from the debut album. Hope to catch a gig later this year. I'll just put up one that caught my ear from a later album for now and maybe add some the deeper I get.

 

[Nololob]

I might see them in April in Oxford. Same venue as UH and the tickets are very cheap, £9.

 

[Sox]

Yeah, good one I lke the under a tenner tickets mate. Me and Sweaty are gonna try and catch them at Rock City in Nottingham "Marrowfest".

OK very cool!!! ***:

 

[Sox]

They were on the Metal Hammer Stage at The High Voltage Festival 2010 MP, they caught my ear but it was difficult to juggle the bands as there were three different stages all with a hell of a lot going on. I do like their gear though.
