Orange Goblin is one of the most uncompromising representatives of old school heavy metal and hard rock in the world. Thirty years into their riff-driven career, they’re releasing a brand new album (and first album with Peaceville), which may be their greatest work. Join Nate and Orange Goblin vocalist/lyricist Ben Ward as they discuss metal as a way of life, walking the fine line between stupid and clever, recording studios reminiscent of American Werewolf in London and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the pursuit of better living through riffs + fitness + sobriety, the importance of free speech in an increasingly volatile world, and more!

Album of discussion:

Orange Goblin - Science, Not Fiction (2024)
