Orange Goblin is a heavy metal band from London, England. Formed in 1995, the band's lineup currently consists of singer Ben Ward, guitarist Joe Hoare, drummer Chris Turner, and bassist Harry Armstrong. History Orange Goblin was originally formed in 1995 under the name Our Haunted Kingdom, with original bassist Martyn Millard and fifth member Pete O'Malley on rhythm guitar. The band released a split 7-inch single, Electric Wizard/Our Haunted Kingdom, with Electric Wizard in 1996 on Rise Above Records before changing their name to Orange Goblin. The first three studio albums under the name Orange Goblin—Frequencies from Planet Ten (1997), Time Travelling Blues (1998) and The Big Black (2000)—were in the stoner metal and doom metal genres, and have also been described as space rock, but on 2002's Coup de Grace they began to add punk rock, hard rock, and other influences to their sound. Their album Thieving from the House of God was released in 2004 and included a cover of ZZ Top's "Just Got Paid". Their first five releases were issued by Rise Above Records. O'Malley left the band in 2004 to pursue a career as an artist and was not replaced. Their 2007 album Healing Through Fire was released on Mayan/Sanctuary Records. In 2008 the band announced that they had signed with Candlelight Records. Two new songs were revealed in May 2009, though the associated album was delayed until 2012. In mid-2010, the band's back catalog was reissued on Rise Above Records in digipak form. Their long-delayed seventh album A Eulogy for the Damned was released in February 2012. The album earned the band critical acclaim, including being voted No. 3 in Metal Hammer magazine's Top Albums of 2012. The same year the group was voted Best Band by the readers of Terrorizer magazine. The band then embarked on a world tour in 2013, playing 161 shows across 28 different countries.
