\"\"<\/a>Diehard exponents of the noble art of heavy metal since 1995, Orange Goblin have spent the last two and a half decades steadily but surely establishing themselves as one of the UK\u2019s most loved and respected bands. Emerging from the stoner rock explosion of the mid \u201890s, the band led the way for that scene on British shores, kicking off with classic debut album Frequencies From Planet Ten in 1997 and continuing with a steady stream of critically acclaimed albums that boldly and gleefully blurred the lines between stoner, doom, black, crust and southern rock, while always fervently saluting the old school heavy metal flag and the sacred Sabbathian code.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Widely admired as one of the most ludicrously thunderous and entertaining live bands on the planet, Orange Goblin have paid their dues and earned the right to be regarded as a heavy metal institution. The band\u2019s last three albums, A Eulogy For The Damned (2012) and Back From The Abyss (2014) and The Wolf Bites Back (2018) have further cemented their reputation.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Now in 2020 the London-based quartet will celebrate their 25th anniversary with a December tour of the UK and Ireland culminating in two very specials shows at London\u2019s The Underworld. Frontman Ben Ward comments,<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u2018The world is a very strange place at the moment and we are all affected by the current Covid-19 pandemic. No one knows what the future holds and when we will get back to playing shows but we are very happy to announce that this December, Orange Goblin will (hopefully) be touring the UK to celebrate our 25 Year Anniversary.<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n
Obviously people\u2019s safety is the main concern for us but we wanted to get these dates out there as it\u2019s been eating away at us for a while now and we hope that having something to look forward to will bring a tiny bit of hope and happiness into everyone\u2019s lives right now. We are chuffed to be bringing strong supports for this run in the shape of fellow Sabbath worshippers, Spirit Adrift, as well as Cornwall\u2019s finest metal brigade, King Creature. These shows promise to be a celebration of our entire music catalogue and 25 years of travels up and down the UK, with the London shows being particularly special as we return to our old stomping ground of The Underworld for two very special nights playing completely different sets!\u00a0<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0So we hope to see faces old and new at these shows come December! Tickets go on sale on Thursday 7th May.\u2019<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

Orange Goblin most recently released new live album \u2018Rough & Ready, Live & Loud’ on 1st May featuring tracks recorded between 2016-2019. \u00a0Frustrated at being unable to tour due to the current worldwide Covid-19 restrictions, the band \u2013 vocalist Ben Ward, guitarist Joe Hoare, bassist Martyn Millard and drummer Chris Turner, decided to plug the gap with a live set, which also serves to celebrate the remarkable achievement of the band\u2019s 25th Anniversary.<\/span><\/div>\n
