The Wolf Bites Back is the ninth studio album by heavy metal band Orange Goblin. It was released on 15 June 2018 by Candlelight Records. [1] The album was produced by Jaime "Gomez" Arellano, who is best known for producing recent albums by Ghost and Paradise Lost, [2] and was recorded at Orgone Studios in Bedfordshire, England. [3] Motörhead guitarist Phil Campbell makes a guest appearance. [4]
The album was preceded by the single "Sons of Salem". [5] Singer Ben Ward explained that the album was constructed with live concerts in mind: "There was definitely a concerted effort to make sure all the songs could work in a live environment which gives the album a more raw, stripped-back feel — something that I feel has been lacking from good rock and metal in recent years." [6] The album includes experimentation with doom metal, groove metal, and blues rock. [7] One reviewer said of the album: "The best thing about [the album] though, is that for all its differences, it still sounds like Orange Goblin, still sounds like the band they always were, and the progression is entirely natural." [8]
