Orange Goblin is back for the first time in six years with a new record Science, Not Fiction due out July 19, and a new single "Cemetary Rats" streaming right now. Science, Not Fiction was recorded at Woodworm Studios UK in late 2023, with production and mixing duties carried out by Grammy winning producer Mike Exeter (Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, etc.) and mastering conducted by Peter Hewitt-Dutton at The Bakery.
Speaking on the new single and video, said "You want Metal? You've got Metal!" said Orange Goblin frontman Ben Ward. "'Cemetary Rats' is an anthem for all the metalheads and rockers, the kids that society deems the 'weirdos and freaks'! Fuck society!
"This is a song for everyone that likes to hang out in the graveyard, listening to metal and loving life as the underdog! This is doom, thrash and punk all rolled into one, like the mighty Black Sabbath colliding with classic era-Celtic Frost and Discharge! We are the heavy metal underground, we are the CEMETARY RATS!"
Pre-orders for Science, Not Fiction are available here.
