Critical Praise for A Eulogy For The Damned:
“OG simply don’t put a foot wrong from start to finish. Near total perfection! 9/10” — Metal Hammer UK
“A respectfully powerful slice of heavy fuckin’ rock! 4/5” – Terrorizer
“Long-haired limeys, maximum riffage and turbo doom. Biker rock. From England. And it’s pretty awesome.” – Decibel
“Overall, their first record for Candlelight is pretty damn fantastic. Rockin’, riff-tastic and possibly the best record from start to finish that they’ve released yet.” – Popdose
“Album of the Month!” — Sweden Rock Magazine
“A truly amazing piece of work? This is absolutely the case! 4/5” – Molten Magazine
“With a sound that splits the difference between Sabbath and Motörhead, ORANGE GOBLIN serves up a potent dose of ’70s-style metal on A Eulogy For The Damned. Gloomy doom and punk power have seldom sounded so good together.” – Metal Underground
“Apart from the anxiously-awaited end of the world, I can’t imagine a scenario in which 2012 finishes and ORANGE GOBLIN’s A Eulogy for the Damned isn’t among the high points. Highly recommended for beginners and converts alike.” – The Obelisk
“I highly encourage you stop what you are doing and run right out and purchase it. 9.8/10” – Pure Grain Audio
“On a scale of 5 stars, I’ll give it 6 because it’s just that damned good!” – The Ripple Effect
