With the band being the side project of Tim Lambesis, who is currently out on bail and headed back to court later the month, the band’s future is obviously in jeopardy, but at least the fate of this album is know.
The following statement was released via the bands Facebook page:
“Tim finished all of his parts back before he went on tour in Asia. He was just waiting for me to do my parts and put together the finishing touches on the mix of the album. I’m working on that this starting this week now that I have the files. The CD should be done soon and then we’ll start planning to manufacture.”

Taiwanese metallers Chthonic have premiered the video for their song “Supreme Pain For The Tyrant” via Revolver Magazine.
Bassist Doris Yeh had this to say of the video:
“It’s hard enough to write music, but it’s even more tiring to shoot a music video. But I have to say that a video tells a story very well, and CHTHONIC’s music is especially suitable for a music video, because it contains a strong sense of history. I learned a lot in shooting these three music videos; I would love to have the opportunity to work with more directors.”
Check out the video here.
The band’s latest album Bu-Tik will be released in North America digitally on June 18 and on CD on June 25 via SpineFarm Records.

Orange Goblin are pure rock n' roll... feared, respected and mentioned in whispers by awed rock fans and youngsters across the world. Orange Goblin are the modern UK metal heroes who never give up and always keep kicking ass. Back with their first live album, the pants-seat scorching A EULOGY FOR THE FANS (Candlelight), "The Goblin" just get better with age. Seriously, could this band be any more awesome? I think not.
