ORANGE GOBLIN
1. Would you like to talk us about your new album ?
The new album is a lot different than the last album we have done. It’s more a live album and not just a Stoner rock, it’s rock n roll , heavy metal or whatever. There are a lot songs that you can sing and bang your head.
2.Why did you choose to cover a classic song from MISFITS ?
Because people think that we’re gonna always cover a stoner rock song from B.Sabbath or Led Zeppelin that we love but we love punk stuff as well .We think that people we’ll think “Hey what are they doing?” but we don’t like only Black Sabbath songs.
3. Are you satisfied from the production of Scott Reader ?
Very , Scott is a great guy and so good in his job. That’s the sound we wanted in our latest album and Scott also came up with new ideas and things that have never recorded before .
4.Could you give me a few details about the lyrics ?
Ben wrote the lyrics and he’s got imagination , he always comes up with strange stuff .But lyrics are different in this album because in previous albums were about dragons , spices .Now we talk about experiences that Ben had or all the band had , songs about ex-girlfriends , etc.
5. The cover of the album reminds me “Tales From The Crypt” , so are you a fan of horror movies ?
Yes we love horror movies, especially zombie movies. We wanted to do a cover that looks like a comic . Frank Kozik made this cover and he’s very famous for his work in other bands , he’s a very honest person.
6. How did you decide to come in Greece ?
Because I learned from many friends that played last year , how fan was and the great people .It’s a perfect place and we believe that’s a good choice for us .We’re just gonna enjoy it on the stage , jump up and down , we’re gonna give you loud and loud rock. We have already played in Europe and after Greece we’re gonna play in USA for 5 weeks.
7.What’s your opinion about nu metal scene ?
It’s very famous but I don’t like nu metal , I hate bands like Limp Bizkit .It’s not really music but it’s live music , they actually play music .
