From Loudersound.
Orange Goblin have announced details of their first album in six years. Science, Not Fiction – the follow-up to 2018’s The Wolf Bites Back – will be released via Peaceville on July 19, and is available to pre-order now. The band have also released the first single from the album, the extremely lively (Not) Rocket Science.
“It’s basically saying that life can be pretty simple and straightforward if you just stop wasting your time and make each day count,” says frontman Ben Ward. “Be prepared to work hard, don’t expect any handouts, and basically enjoy yourself along the way. When Chris came up with the music he said it needed something that could be delivered in a Bon Scott / Lemmy style and I think it came out really well.”
“I feel like we’re more professional in the recording studio, I feel like we’re better musicians and writers, and now with me looking after myself, I feel like my performance is better as well. It’s all moving in the right direction.”
Orange Goblin are currently on tour in Japan, with shows to follow in Australia and New Zealand, and they’ve also been confirmed as headliners of the inaugural Margate Rock Festival, which will take place at Dreamland in Margate on October 26. They’ll be joined on the bill by Florence Black, Wytch Hazel, Cobra Spell, Collateral, Famyne and more.
“I was born in Margate and raised in Thanet, so this show has a very special place in my heart,” says Ward. “Margate has been crying out for an event like this for years, and what a line-up the organizers have put together! It will be an absolute honour to come back to Margate with Orange Goblin in October, armed with a brand-new album and a set that will be a selection of highlights from across our entire catalogue. Bring it on!”
