Formed in 1995, they were originally known as Our Haunted Kingdom but changed their name to Orange Goblin after their first few releases. The band consists of frontman Ben Ward, guitarist Joe Hoare, bassist Martyn Millard, and drummer Chris Turner. They've built a reputation for their potent blend of doom metal, stoner rock, and psychedelic sounds, coupled with a relentless, energetic approach to live performances that has earned them a loyal following.

Orange Goblin's journey has been marked by a consistent output of full-throttle albums and intense live shows. After a trail of earlier successes, the band continued to enthrall fans with recent releases like "The Wolf Bites Back," a reflection of their musical maturity and diversity, and "Back From The Abyss," which captures the band's raw live energy and showcases their hard-hitting riffs and thunderous grooves. Notably, "A Eulogy for the Damned" and "Healing Through Fire" (Deluxe Edition) solidified their standing in the stoner metal genre, offering a perfect blend of gritty vocals, monumental guitar work, and commanding rhythms. "A Eulogy For The Fans: Orange Goblin Live 2012" captures the band's formidable stage presence, cementing their status as a must-see act in the realm of heavy metal. With a career spanning over two decades, Orange Goblin has established themselves as titans of the British rock and heavy metal scene, consistently delivering a sonic assault that pays homage to the past while forging their unique path forward.
