Orange Goblin are back and we can now reveal the details of the long awaited new studio album »Science, Not Fiction«. Set for release on 19th July, »Science, Not Fiction« will be the band’s first release on the iconic Peaceville Records label (Darkthrone, Autopsy, Candlemass).
To accompany this announcement, we have shared our new single »(Not) Rocket Science« – a matter of fact observation on the human tendency to over-complicate life – alongside a swirling animated lyric video by Matthew Vickerstaff.
Frontman and lyricist Ben Ward says: “It’s basically saying that life can be pretty simple and straightforward if you just stop wasting your time and make each day count. Be prepared to work hard, don’t expect any hand outs 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.”
