User Album Review
While most of the songs have something good going for them, there’s little diversity to be found on Back From the Abyss, and by the 3/4 mark, the songs start to bleed together into a monolithic slab of back alley rhythmic beatdown. This leaves a few cuts like “The Abyss” on the outside looking in and leaving scant impact. It’s also a bit overlong, and ten tracks would have been more than enough to bruise and amuse. Add to that a mix that gets a bit soupy at times, and there’s just enough to hold the album back from a more hearty endorsement.
As always, the Goblin template calls for big, tooth rattling riffs from Joe Hoare and hoarse bellowing by Ben Ward. It works as well as always and the combination guarantees that Beer Muscles Syndrome takes hold by song four. You’ll want to do dumb, generally illegal things involving a fair amount of violence, sex and animal husbandry. Hey, that’s just what this music is all about, and there’s no use sugar coating it. It’s designed to make you over imbibe, punch a cop and fuck a goat and though we at AMG don’t endorse any of that, it is what it is. Ward in particular elevates his game here, sounding as raw and pissed off as ever, but adding a touch more finesse to his rough and tumble delivery, especially on “Heavy Lies the Crown.”
You know what to expect from Orange Goblin by now, and Back From the Abyss keeps the good times and joints a rolling. It’s a manly, punch drunk listen, full of beans and ready to rumble. It may even grow some extra hair on your chest, if you’re into that kind of thing. Goats everywhere should be worried.
