Album:

“Rise up, Sons of Salem! Your Mothers have cursed you at birth! The dead will inherit the earth!”A band that stays true to the raw guts of what extreme music represents is the band that prevails, regardless of what they have to play. The fancy ol’ English chaps from the band Orange Goblin is set to loosing the hound on everybody with their 9th studio record, ‘The Wolf Bites Back.’ The album is honestly, packed what could be the band’s new flag bearing record; heavy, evil and catchy progressions, a palette of rock influences, and a chunk of the goblin groove!The upcoming record also has an ample quantity of lyrical content ranting out about a wide spectrum of unspoken truths in today’s world. Combine the excellent variety of instrumental playing and the expressive vocal delivery of Ben Ward, what pops out is a monster of an album, with beer in its veins and metal in its heart!The record kicks off with the track “Sons of Salem”, an intro calling an army of the dead out to the front of the mosh pit to headbang to that sick and filthy opening riff. ‘Suicide Division” on the opposite side of the rock spectrum with its “roundhouse kick slamming teeth out of your jaw” punk rock influences will actually be the reason behind people losing teeth in a live scenario. It clearly states that the extreme metal influences behind this band remains strong and potentially, trauma inducing. Also included is the instrumental piece “In Bocca Al Lupo”, which personally, has fantastic bluesy guitar work between Ben and Joe Hoare.A few tracks definitely stand out. “Ghosts of the Primitives” is the second longest track in the album and alongside its impressive instrumental writing, smooth surf/funk rock inspired segments and its rebellious prophecy against religious establishment, it raises no questions as to why it deserves massive respect and appraise. Men of science will one day prove dogma meaningless and the ghosts of the primitive will be eradicated from such a world, let’s hope towards waking up to such days.“The Stranger” and “Burn the Ships” are also two tracks deserving of massive kudos, the former being the ramblings of a confused, partially psychotic (possibly complete) individual, delivered through an eerie country-roll vibe. The latter rants about how society reigns itself authoritative upon the day to day individual lives of all of us, hypnotizing us into following a path sure to doom us for the rest of our miserable lives. Its easily a song that gets dark fast, and swiftly inflicts a heavy existential crisis upon the usual individual.Towards the end of the album, with an n number of neck sprains, and the concluding emotional progressions of “Zeitgeist”, what only needs to be said is that the band has genuinely outdone itself, and delivered a well written and produced album. ‘The Wolf Bites Back’ is a powerful rock record, packed with a variety of rock-based styles, atmospheres, excellent guitar work, and thought provoking lyrical content, executed by a band that knows how to do what it does best; rock out, piss a few people off, and walk away like absolute badasses! Out via Candlelight/Spinefarm Records, June 15th!

Album:

Ben Ward will always a big, burly bastard, but in the run up to Orange Goblin’s 10th album, the legendary frontman decided to ditch the booze and hit the weights in an effort to discover the healthiest version of himself. It shows. The title of Science, Not Fiction may be a reference to the deeper thinking that followed not being constantly sozzled, but its urgent, restless, often psychedelic sound is that of a singer – and his band – in fighting shape, ready to take on this strange new world.The Fire At The Centre Of The Earth Is Mine revs things immediately into gear. Not just a brilliantly up-tempo bit of Sabbath worship, it's more importantly a seismic statement of self-belief from a band almost 30 years into their journey with no interest on coasting on glories past. (Not) Rocket Science follows up with a side of self-awareness, driving hard into the sort of neck-breaking riffs, fathomless grooves and cosmic imagery that have always been the Goblin’s stock in trade. It’s on the even groovier Ascend The Negative (‘Reclaim your mind, reclaim your time, conquer negativity’), and the jazzy seven-minute epic False Hope Diet that the record really shows its hand, though, channelling OG’s renewed purpose (thanks, also, to incoming bassist Harry Armstrong) into a brilliantly psychedelic experimentalism.Reinventing the steel is not the objective, of course. As much as the tantalising acid flashbacks to the likes of King Crimson, Pink Floyd and The Beatles are striking focal points, this remains classic Orange Goblin. Heads-down highlight Cemetary Rats already feels like it’ll be part of their live set for years. Gemini (Twins Of Evil) brings the ubiquitous old-school horror worship, albeit with less unbound bloodlust than a sense of spiralling, hypnotic seduction. And although final track End Of Transmission reckons on the (someday) inevitable end of the band, harking back to 27-years-old first LP Frequencies From Planet 10, this is less the sound of an outfit with the end in sight than one riding a new lease of life.Keeping it uncomplicated, Science, Not Fiction finds Orange Goblin on their strongest, most strident form in over a decade. That’s a fact.
