I wrote about the new Orange Goblin album for Spectrum Culture.
If you like stoner rock, you’ll enjoy this. It’s not their best record, but it’s a lotta fun regardless.

Hundred Word Reviews: Split Cranium | ‘I’m The Devil and I’m OK’
In which members of burly acts like Sumac, Old Man Gloom, and Converge come together to make burly hardcore. Imagine if Mammoth Grinder’s music was playful and the arrangements were influenced by mescaline, and you’re close. Elements of surf, d-beat, post-punk, and ambient permeate galloping (and catchy) compositions and make them more fun (and more interesting) than standard death-punk, while Aaron Turner attempts to cut through the din with his belch-bark. It’s a silly album title (with a sillier cover), yes. It’s also a lotta fucking fun.
