In their 30 years as a band, there are unlikely to have been too many years that passed without making much of an impact in Orange Goblin’s universe. The British heavy metal quartet have blazed a trail for homegrown music across 10 studio albums, the most recent of which, Science, Not Fiction, is one of their best. And yet they decided to call it a day. Last month's UK tour was their last, their headline show at London’s Kentish Town Forum as memorable a night as any in their colourful career, made even more so by the fact it was the band’s very last gig.
“The idea started floating around, probably around this time last year,” frontman Ben Ward explains. “I already had one eye on moving to France, which was going to put a spanner in the works with the band with regard to rehearsing. Not that we rehearse often, as you know [laughs].
