Episode: 207 Orange Goblin

Very High Frequencies highlights London, England metal band Orange Goblin. After 27 years of waving the heavy music flag they are about to drop album number ten, Science, Not Fiction. It’s getting great reviews and based on the three songs released so far I can understand why.

VHF-207 (Orange Goblin) features tracks off of nearly every  OG release to date. While there’s no denying the influence of Black Sabbath on the music they create with just one listen it’s obvious they are also heavily inspired by Motörhead and Lemmy’s earlier outfit, the Space Rock legends, Hawkwind.  Expect guitar solos, bass freakouts, driving drums and clean but gravelly vocals. Occasional keyboards add mood. 

The songs are about riding fast, living hard and standing up for your beliefs. Free spirit or die kind of stuff. OG specialize in scary tunes like brand new  creepy but catchy song “Cemetery Rats.”.

Cover songs pepper the show as well from some expected artists but also a couple surprises too. 

Doom music can be fun and high energy in the right hands. It’s not rocket science but it might make you rock out like a heavy metal superstar! Get out your air guitar and blast VHF-207 (Orange Goblin).
