Orange Goblin, the UK stoner metallers, who have regrouped and recruited Harry Armstrong as the bass player for their new studio opus and upcoming live shows, have signed a deal with Peaceville Records, which will release the band’s tenth studio offering.
Frontman Ben Ward says: “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!”
Paul Groundwell (Peaceville label manager) comments: “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.”
