Review: This CD proves to be another great release from these underground British legends!  If you aren't familar with their prior work, expect some cutting edge stuff.  Their style is a mix of industrial, rock, and punk with an anti-establishment theme to almost every song.  I can honestly say that this is one of the more impressive disc that we have on the WSKB rack.  This could be the disc that finally puts this band over with major rock stations.  They are also on the Ozzfest tour this summer so check them out!

The Review: Another impressive release out of the "Stoner Rock" genre!  This CD will provide for several hours of pure stereophonic listening enjoyment!  This band will take you on a journey from the grindy up tempo feel of the first track "Scorpionica" to the mellow and relaxing last track "The Big Black".  Expect only the best ear bleeding, speaker popping, blaring sound from this disc kids.  Let Orange Goblin be your tour guide through the universe with this awesome release!

Album: The Second Coming

Label: Triple Crown Records

The Review: This CD proves to be no nonsense with an agressive style and great crossovers in musical genres.  This band is a mix of hardcore, rap-core, and urban grooves.  It can change quickly from the head pounding sound of "Soldier" to the smooth urban feel of "Guaranteed" in seconds.  However, this CD proves to be an all out cuss fest (three clean tracks to be exact.). Anthony Martini, the band's lead singer, makes this clear with the quote, "I am using improper language and I know it.  Therefore, it ceases to be improper.  I am using it soley for literal effect."  Even though I doubt that the nice people with the FCC will agree with that, I recommend this CD if you are looking to release some agression!
