Orange Goblin sign to Peaceville Records

ORANGE GOBLIN have signed to Peaceville Records!

Over the last 25 years, the British heavy metal band have become a firm favourite on our shores and further afield, and now, following the departure of bassist Martyn Millard, the Londoners have regrouped, recruiting old comrade Harry Armstrong [ex-HANGNAIL/EARLS OF MARS/END OF LEVEL BOSS] for their new studio opus and impending live shows, and have signed a new deal with Peaceville Records. The band will make their label debut with their as-of-yet unannounced tenth record, the follow-up to 2018’s The Wolf Bites Back, in the near future.

Speaking about signing to Peaceville, vocalist Ben Ward comments, “when we first started the band back in 1995, Peaceville was a label we admired so much due to the number of amazing bands they were releasing and building careers for at the time. To join a roster that released albums by the likes of AUTOPSY, DARKTHRONE, PARADISE LOST, ANATHEMA, MY DYING BRIDE, PENTAGRAM, AT THE GATES, AURA NOIR and many more is an absolute honour and we look forward to continuing that amazing bloodline of talent, alongside the killer bands that they currently have on their books. We spoke to a few labels when our last deal ended and the enthusiasm, vision and passion for the music that Peaceville showed made this a really easy decision for all of us. We can’t wait to start work on what will be the 10th ORANGE GOBLIN studio album. With a new bass player in place we are now writing new material and expect to have this released sometime in 2022. Cheers!”

Peaceville Records label manager Paul Groundwell adds, “as trailblazers of the UK heavy metal scene for well over two decades now, and a band which has remained consistent in their attitude and with unwavering integrity towards their art, we’re delighted to now welcome ORANGE GOBLIN to the Peaceville family for more top class doom-fuelled shenanigans to come.”
