The DVD further includes the official Tom Cronin-directed videos for “Red Tide Rising” and “Acid Trial”, the latter courtesy ofScion A/V, plus the Matt Chance-directed “Red Tide Rising”documentary and Gaetan Chataigner-directed “Highway To Hellfest”documentary. Art and design was once again provided by Jimbob Isaacunder the direction of vocalist Ben Ward.
Discussing the album, Ward says: “For years, people have been asking us to release a live album. It’s a warts-and-all recording to highlight exactly what you get at an ORANGE GOBLIN show. It’s not over-produced; you can hear the bum notes and the forgotten lyrics as well as the energy and power emanating from the stage. And the crowd! I think that’s what a good live album is all about. It’s just the sound of us getting up on stage, plugging in and going hell for leather. Crack open a beer, turn it up loud and bang your head.”
“A Eulogy For the Fans – Orange Goblin Live 2012” features songs that span the band’s extensive repertoire, including fan favorites “Stand For Something”, “Scorpionica”, “Quincy The Pigboy”, “Blue Snow”,“Time Travelling Blues”, and the album’s single, “The Filthy & The Few”, which is set to impact loud rock radio on February 26.
ORANGE GOBLIN‘s latest album, “A Eulogy For The Damned”, was released in February 2012 via Candlelight Records. The ten-track offering was recorded at The Animal Farm studio in South London, produced and engineered by Jamie Dodd and mastered two-timeGrammy-nominated PINK FLOYD engineer Andy Jackson at Tube Mastering.
“A Eulogy For The Damned” was released on CD and limited-edition colored vinyl in gatefold sleeve.
Formed in 1995 (as OUR HAUNTED KINGDOM), ORANGE GOBLIN has released six full-length albums, developing an enthusiastic fan base that revels in the band’s aggressive sound built on “booze-sodden riffs and attitude.” Longtime label Rise Above Records has reissued the group’s super-heavy back catalog.
