User Album Review
The Wolf Bites Back opens the way one would expect an Orange Goblin record to open: with a prototypical fist-pumping anthem in “Sons of Salem,” a song about the descendants of the area’s witches. It’s fast, it’s hectic, it’s got a great Orange Goblin riff, it’s got a great chorus: in short, it’s a variation on “Scorpionica.” Let’s face it, when it comes to the faster-paced variation of stoner rock, these guys are almost untouchable. Other similar songs throughout the album include “Renegade” – not the Styx song, sadly, but a straightforward rocker that singer Ben Ward seems to struggle to keep up with at times (the only flaw on an otherwise excellent album vocal-wise, his best performance coming in “The Stranger,” where he comes off as a drunk Mike Patton), and “Suicide Division,” in which the band channels their inner Motörhead for a two minute proto-metal blast (of note: Motörhead’s Phil Campbell drops a couple of solos on the album).
Orange Goblin have had a pretty damned respectable resurgence this decade. Their albums in the 2000’s may not have hit home like gems such as The Big Black and Frequencies from Planet Ten did, but their last couple (both reviewed by Steel here) have been excellent examples of barroom brawl-inciting stoner rock. The Wolf Bites Back is another superb entry, better than Back From the Abyss, even a bit stronger than A Eulogy for the Damned. The forearm shiver of their rocking numbers is here, and the changeups are all album highlights. In short, the band have delivered one of their top three or four albums.
