Last year, ORANGE GOBLIN released their seventh studio album 'A Eulogy For The Damned' via Candlelight Records, and haven't stopped touring the world in order to present their music to the masses. The bands latest offering continues to reap praise for its pure, sonic awesomeness from fans and critics nationally. Popdose called it "…pretty damn fantastic. Rockin’, riff-tastic and possibly the best record from start to finish that they’ve released yet". Today (May 29), the band has announced that they are returning to North America this September/October and want your feedback in regard to the bands you want to see them support them. Here is a word from the band:
"OG FANS IN NORTH AMERICA!!!
"Orange Goblin will return to do a headline tour of the USA & CANADA in September and October 2013.
"We are asking you (and be realistic!), which band would you like to see support Orange Goblin when they come back??"
Savannah, Georgia's BLACK TUSK, are in the midst of their first ever European headline tour. The run will wrap up this week with a festival appearance in Tonsberg, Norway with an appearance at Slottsfjell Fest.
BLACK TUSK have confirmed a string of North American headlining dates for this fall. The run kicks off October 13th in Johnson City, TN and is scheduled to wrap up October 24th in Portland, Oregon. The band is touring in support of their latest release 'Set The Dial' which is streaming in full below. The album is available for purchase via Relapse.com and iTunes.
BLACK TUSK took part in the inaugural "Orion Music + More Festival" curated by Metallica this past June. Pop Culture Madness caught up with the guitarist Andrew Fidler for an interview at the festival. Check it out HERE. Andrew also chatted with The Rock Revival, that interview can be seen HERE.

'A Eulogy For The Damned' is ORANGE GOBLIN’s seventh studio album and first under the Candlelight Records banner. The offering continues to reap praise for its pure, sonic awesomeness from fans and critics nationally. Popdose called it "…pretty damn fantastic. Rockin’, riff-tastic and possibly the best record from start to finish that they’ve released yet". Blistering crowned it "…a total pure-bred Metal album", adding that, "there’s not a trace of fluff or even a sideways idea to be found, which makes its execution all the more impressive", while Decibel proclaimed: "Long-haired limeys, maximum riffage and turbo doom. Biker Rock. From England. And it’s pretty awesome". Metal Underground agreed: "With a sound that splits the difference between Sabbath and Motörhead, ORANGE GOBLIN serves up a potent dose of ’70s-style Metal on 'A Eulogy For The Damned'. Gloomy doom and Punk power have seldom sounded so good together", while About.com added: "Orange Goblin's A Eulogy For The Damned… is a lesson for the lesser ones. This is how to make a solid Heavy Metal album. It’s how the Chimera roars when it wants everyone to hear".
You can now watch Orange Goblin's NEW video for their song "Acid Trial" (courtesy of Metal Injection and Scion AV):
Every good old barge is corroded. But they are better, they are the BARGE TO HELL, The World's Most Extreme Metal Cruise and they have CORROSION OF CONFORMITY!
BARGE TO HELL, the cruise where everyone has a backstage pass and you can mingle side-by-side with the artists in this incredibly fan-friendly scenario that has no comparison.
The madness begins on December 3rd, when 40 of the most extreme Metal Bands and 2,000 headbangers from around the world will go to the Caribbean to take over a luxury cruise ship for a 5 day and 4 night trip to the undead! See each of the 40 bands play two live shows on two different days. That's 80 shows with unrestricted festival access to the three stages, each with it's own unique atmosphere:
- The luxurious "A Chorus Line" theater where they spare no expense to have the benches removed on the floor. Because at a Metal show, who actually wants assigned seating in front of the stage?
- The cozy "Spectrum" that gives you the real club feeling.
- And their jewel: The open air stage on the pool deck. The biggest festival stage to sail the Oceans.
You can also get all your memorabilia signed at the Meet & Greet sessions. Be part of their infamous Metal Karaoke and many other special activities with the Artists. And last, but not least: Don't forget that they have bars on board that never close! What are you waiting for? You might even need a vacation from this vacation when all is said and done.

UK Stoner Rockers Orange Goblin, recently premiered their NEW video for “Red Tide Rising”, the opening track off the band’s forthcoming 'A Eulogy For The Damned' full-length, set for North American release on February 14, 2012. The video clip is loosely based on H.P. Lovecraft stories and was shot in a series of dilapidated buildings around the UK.
Elaborated vocalist Ben Ward of the video: “We made the terrible decision to make the video for ‘Red Tide Rising’ the day after the London Christmas show so it meant we all had to be up bright and early, with very severe hangovers and head down to the New Forest. Luckily it was a bright, sunny day so everyone was in good spirits and the production crew went to work setting up at the location, which was some sort of abandoned army barracks in the middle of nowhere! It could have doubled as the location for Hostel 4! In the meantime, the band was dragged halfway across Dorset to do a photo shoot whilst being attacked by rampaging horses! When we returned, thankful to be alive, we were ready to go and the recording process was very pleasant and quite a lot of fun! We already knew that the footage of us would be mixed with some animation that we’d acquired the use of so we weren’t required to do anything too ambitious, just repeatedly go over the track imagining we were playing it to 100,000 people at Wembley stadium! Fuelled by tea and biscuits we got the job done and the results look great!”
'A Eulogy For The Damned' is Orange Goblin’s seventh studio album and first for Candlelight Records. The ten-track offering was recorded at The Animal Farm studio in South London, UK, produced and engineered by Jamie Dodd and mastered by two-time Grammy-nominated Pink Floyd engineer Andy Jackson at Tube Mastering.

Portland, Oregon's RED FANG are premiering their NEW video today for their song "Hank Is Dead", which is taken from their critically acclaimed release 'Murder The Mountains'. RED FANG worked with director extraordinaire, Whitey McConnaughy on the video which can be viewed below
Drummer John Sherman spoke about the "Hank is Dead" video:
"Another great concept from the brilliant mind of Whitey McConnaughy. This one came together super quick with the help of some insane Portland locals and their sick air guitar skills. We basically just threw a big party and had a blast while a bunch of cameras ran. That is my shower Aaron and Bryan and Bobcat are in at the intro, btw. It still has a weird ring around it..."
