Orange Goblin, previously Our Haunted Kingdom, are a band from the United Kingdom that formed in 1995. The band’s lineup currently consists of singer Ben Ward, guitarist Joe Hoare, bassist Martyn Millard, and drummer Chris Turner.

The band was originally formed in 1995 under the name Our Haunted Kingdom. They released a split 7” with Electric Wizard in 1996 on Rise Above Records before adopting the moniker Orange Goblin. The band’s first three albums were stoner/doom metal. On 2002’s Coup de Grace they began to add punk, doom metal, and other influences to their sound.

Their first five releases were issued by Rise Above Records. Rhythm guitarist Pete O’Malley left the band in 2004 to pursue a career as an artist. On December 16, 2005 the band celebrated its tenth anniversary with a concert at the Underworld club in Camden also featuring Scissorfight and Blood Island Raiders. Their 2007 album, Healing Through Fire was released on Mayan/Sanctuary Records. On September 3, 2008 the band announced that they had signed with Candlelight Records and were working on material for a new album with a September 2009 release date in mind. It was then announced in May 2009 that “Songwriting for the new album is ongoing but looks very promising with the skeleton of four or five new songs already in place. Two rough working titles for the new songs include Red Tide Rising and The Bishop’s Wolf”. The band had earlier announced that it had postponed the recording sessions for the new album due to “unforeseen circumstances” and apologized to the fans assuring them that “it will be worth the wait”.
