 I’m not quite the UB Geologist I would like to be at this point and time
in my career and studies, so I’ll have to compromise by measuring Orange
Goblin’s volcanic activity. The amount of soot and ashes left behind by
the tours they’ve paved bares enough Molten Rock to leave scars for
centuries. The temperatures on stage can climb well into and over boiling
degrees bursting at any second. The stage, that is, with pounds of gushing
lava coming from the drummer, Christopher; the land slide of guitar riffs
thanks to mother Earth and Martyn; the rumble of bass lines backed by
Joe
with Ben’s cataclysmic vocals exalt some powerful Burnout Metal. Active
bands that burn villages to the ground hardly exist anymore, especially
out of England.
 “London’s pretty kick ass at the moment with lot’s of stuff coming up and
going down, if ya know what I mean.”
Yes, we do, Chris, know what you mean. The only other country aligned on
this atmosphere that has questioned the heaviness of American Metal. When
it comes to the kingpins of Rock N’ Roll, Motorhead sits shotgun. Any sort
of seething Death Metal and England’s got it’s stranglehold all over it.
“Basically, you get called stoner if your not Slayer or Cradle Of Filth.
It doesn’t mean anything here, although I’d prefer metal.”
Funny, it gets a royal fucking bashing over here, although I’d prefer to
call those critics straightedges!
“We use to practice in a Ralway Arch called, Alienistic, east of London.
It was unventilated so it was continuously moldy. We didn’t even need weed
or fog machines for the air would get so foggy. Our upcoming release
intention include buggering all that mo‘. We’re still currently touring on
this album, “Thieving From The House Of God.” We been around Europe 4
times and Japan so I dread to think how many miles our tour van has on it.
We recently toured U.S. and got about 12,000 on that one. Everything went
good with Lamont, the Boston band that toured with us. I think we weened
them into touring the hard way. They were severely weakened by the end of
it, but we had good reception afterwards. As far as horror stories, what
happens on the road stays on the road! We did play six shows with Debris
INC. with Ron Trouble, Dave Chandler, and Jimmy Bowers and caught
Saint Vitus up on stage at Emissions. Got it all on video.”
 The tow of the road that so many off these soldiers have to intake can
torment the sanity up for stake. Only the strongest survive and weakest
are eaten. In order to pass time Orange Goblin aren’t playing ridiculous
word games.
“I try to sleep or invent dumb sounds for, quite literally, hours on in.
I’m an expert at handing out cutting, hateful, sarcastic comments just
right at the moment, hence the nickname, Blackheart. I’m also an
encyclopedia for useless information.”
Orange Goblin haven’t let any opportunities or road kill escape.
“We haven’t hit much road kill. A couple of birds, but nothing mammalian.
I saw a dead gator on the side of the road in New Orleans, those. Imagine
hitting that thing.”
