Organge Goblin hail from the UK and have been around since 1995. They have their roots in stoner metal, but have evolved over time, incorporating aspects from other influences and styles, including '70s hard rock, doom metal and even punk sensibilities. They've maintained a very steady line-up, with only one major change ? guitarist Pete O'Malley left the band in 2004 to focus on visual art and was replaced by Joe Hoare...

Orange Goblin. Just hearing that band name brings a smile to the face. On their seventh release, now on Candlelight Records, A Eulogy for the Damned keeps the stoner rock true to form and true to their legacy. Above, Orange Goblin: a stoner band visible in the light of day, so unusual. As stoner rock or metal can be sometimes ambiguous, A Eulogy for the Damned does not disappoint...

"Gloomy doom and punk power have seldom sounded so good together." "A Eulogy For The Damned," Orange Goblin's seventh full-length studio album, finds the band splitting the difference between its two most obvious influences, Black Sabbath and Motorhead, for a listening experience that divides itself well between moody doom and thrashy punk sounds. It's no-frills guitar rock with sparks of technical virtuosity and psychedelia to liven things up...

"Orange Goblin may have been born in 1990s Britain, but sound-wise, the band crawled out of the psychedelic hellfire of the 1970s." Orange Goblin may have been born in 1990s Britain, but sound-wise, the band crawled out of the psychedelic hellfire of the 1970s. Fans of metal as it sounded in its first decade are going to find plenty to love on this five-CD set, which covers the band's first five albums, adding some demos and live tracks to sweeten the pot...

Orange Goblin ARE british metal. They've been slaving their arses of for over a decade in the name of booze, birds and uh, blue snow. As such, they require no flamboyant introduction; suffice to say you if you're a new comer prepare to have your skull crushed by distorted auditory violence. Doom laden thunder and rain summon Orange Goblin's fifth opus, which manifests as their dirtiest slab of aural grooves to date...

Sound: This album gives off a more blues physcadelic sound of Orange Goblin, but still their rocking selves. The album is one of those which almost every track is equally good, but nothing amazingly spectacular (with the exception of 'Shine'). The riffs are memorable, heavy, even the addition of keyboards, piano gives a great contrast of blues sound adding to the rocking guitars and pounding "lazy-fills" drums...

Sound: Healing Through Fire is a very good record. Having never heard anything from Orange Goblin before I picked this up because of the positive things I read in metal magazines and I was pleasently surprised. I have heard orange goblin labled as a doom band and although that is close to me their songs sound more like jam sessions, that is the best way I can describe them...
