Orange Goblin announce new album ‘Science, Not Fiction’
ORANGE GOBLIN have announced a new album!
Titled Science, Not Fiction, the upcoming album from the UK heavy metal band is the long-awaited follow-up to 2018’s The Wolf Bites Back, and is scheduled to be released in July this year, via Peaceville Records.
The upcoming album was recorded at Woodworm Studios in the UK in late 2023, with production and mixing duties carried out by Grammy winning producer Mike Exeter (most notable for his work with BLACK SABBATH, JUDAS PRIEST and Tony Iommi) and mastering conducted by the esteemed Peter Hewitt-Dutton at The Bakery in LA.
Speaking about the upcoming new album, frontman Ben Ward says, “it is a continuation of what we’ve been doing, and that’s because when we write, it’s a big mixing bowl of all of our influences and favourite artists, and we try and create the perfect band that we always wanted to hear. This album, it’s just more accomplished and mature, I guess. None of us are spring chickens anymore and we’ve got ten albums under our belts now. I feel like we’re more professional in the recording studio, I feel like we’re better musicians and writers, and now with me looking after myself, I feel like my performance is better as well. It’s all moving in the right direction.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new song from the upcoming new album; (Not) Rocket Science. Speaking about the new song, Ward says, “it’s basically saying that life can be pretty simple and straightforward if you just stop wasting your time and make each day count. Be prepared to work hard, don’t expect any hand outs and basically enjoy yourself along the way. When Chris came up with the music he said it needed something that could be delivered in a Bon Scott / Lemmy style and I think it came out really well.”
