Loudwire.com
is celebrating the announcement with an exclusive North American stream
of the album's first single, "The Devil's Whip." Vocalist Ben Ward
says, "This song is a real old-school banger stuffed full of riffs,
sleaze, filth, and speed... just like the best metal should be! It's
Motörhead-style, outlaw-biker rock in all its glory, destined to get
heads banging, fists pumping, drinks flowing and asses shaking. If you
don't find yourself breaking the speed limit to this song, desperate to
find the roughest bar in town, start a fight and spending the night in a
cell, then you are quite clearly already dead. Let's ride, let loose,
let's rip... that's right, you can't escape 'The Devil's Whip.'"
Listen now HERE.
Back From The Abyss follows the band's most successful release, 2012's A Eulogy For The Damned, and the recent reissue of their 2007 album Healing Through Fire. Featuring
twelve new songs, it delivers the quartets now internationally
respected heavy metal. Decibel Magazine calls the band's sound, "maximum
riffage and turbo doom." Blabbermouth dubs them, "a big burly bag of
rock goodness." Rocking hard as fans have come expect, Back From The Abyss shows not only the band's tried-and-true blues and doom but the high caliber of their musicianship.
ORANGE GOBLIN
will kick off the Autumn with a European tour alongside doom legends
St. Vitus. Set to begin in France on October 9th, the tour will work its
way through thirteen countries before concluding in Germany on November
14th. On the tour's announcement Ward said, "We are extremely excited
to be going on tour with our good friends and long-time heroes St.
Vitus. Vitus are one of the bands that inspired us to form ORANGE GOBLIN
all those years ago and to be able to promote our new album and
celebrate their thirty-fifth anniversary at the same time just blows my
mind."
American dates in support of Back From The Abyss are anticipated to start early in the new year. Details to be announced shortly.
Together since 1995, ORANGE GOBLIN has released seven full-length studio albums. A Eulogy For The Damned
was the band's first for Candlelight Records and closed a five year
recording hiatus. The album was supported with the most live dates by
the band in their history; touring that saw the band on North America
soil first alongside Clutch then on a full-scale headline tour that
found them on thirty-eightstages across the US and Canada. Two videos
were filmed and released for the album, including "Red Tide Rising" and the special Scion A/V video for "Acid Trials."
