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??"
In early February it was announced HERE that LA's power trio KYNG were forced to pull out from CLUTCH's "Earth Rocker North American tour". KYNG had to be replaced by Scorpion Child since their bassist Tony Castaneda was involved in a very serious car accident. Thankfully, the KYNG boys are back in action as you can see on the picture on the right (uploaded by Tony a few minutes ago). Not only are they back on the road with THE SWORD (tour dates below), but they have also completed the recording sessions for the follow up of the critically acclaimed 'Trampled Sun' with producer Jim Rota (Fireball Ministry, Sound City), and Andrew Alekel on the helm. The sessions took place in Los Angeles, CA at an undisclosed location. Additionally, the band has announced that they will be part of these years Bonnaroo Music Festival!
Here are some images of the recording sessions, courtesy of KYNG:
KYNG on tour with THE SWORD (remaining tour dates):- 4/26: Nashville, TN @ Exit/In - 4/27: Savannah, GA @ The Jinx Nightclub - 4/28: Knoxville, TN @ Bijou Theatre - 4/29: Raleigh, NC @ Lincoln Theatre Other KYNG tour dates:
- 5/2: Little Rock, AR @ Juanita's Cantina Ballroom - 5/4: Albuquerque, NM @ Launch Pad
CLUTCH's first leg of the "Earth Rocker North American tour", begins on
March 8th in Cincinnati, OH and runs through April 20th in Baltimore,
MD. Support on the tour was supposed to come from Orange Goblin, Lionize and Kyng. Unfortunately, Kyng have been replaced by Scorpion Child since they had to pull out from the tour due to an accident that involved their bassist Tony Castanera.A statement from the band follows:
"Due
to an unfortunate auto accident involving bass player Tony Castaneda,
KYNG has to pull off their scheduled tour with Clutch, Orange Goblin and
Lionize. The tour, scheduled to begin on Friday March 8th would've
taken them coast to coast through April 20th will still move forward.
"This unforeseen accident sets back the band's plans for recording their
Sophomore follow up to 'Trampled Sun' with with producer Jim Rota
(Fireball Ministry, Sound City), and Andrew Alekel in LA this spring.
"Though Castenada's injury puts the band's scheduled touring plans on
hiatus, they will continue working on their NEW album with a planned
release for summer 2013."
We want to wish Tony a speedy recovery!

'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):
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.
