Alberta’s CHRON GOBLIN will be releasing their new album ‘Here Before’ scheduled to be unveiled on September 27, 2019 via Grand Hand Records. The first taste of the fuzzy foursome is the single ‘Slipping Under’.
The Calgarian mainstay have graced almost every stage in the city and spread out their fuzzy, proggy and groovy sound to cities around Western Canada and festivals in Canada, USA, and Europe. ‘Here Before’ is the fifth release from the group and shows off CHRON GOBLIN’s continued evolution and refinement. Brett Whittingham (drums) goes into detail about the track:
“Slipping Under is one of the more complex arrangements on the album. It starts off with a dark n’ dreamy clean intro, experimenting with some electronic drums, before it kicks into the heavy bridge and on to the tight n’ groovy verses. The pre-solo section also includes more experimentation with the inclusion of some dirty 808 drops, something we haven’t tried before! This song is a blast to play live with its multitude of changes and dynamics. Mike Fraser mixed this song, along with Ghost, and his take on both tracks added a nice depth and diversity to the album as a whole.”
For fans of Red Fang, Kyuss, Orange Goblin, the first single 'Slipping Under' off 'Here Before' from CHRON GOBLIN is being premiered exclusively via TheObelisk.net at the following link here.
