Chron Goblin drops 'Backwater'
Where the desert meets the mountains. That’s the setting both in locale and style that has lead to the boogie-infused facepunch class of rock and roll CHRON GOBLIN has proclaimed since their formation in 2009. Swagger and muscle, charm and wit, CHRON GOBLIN pair melody with aggression and groove for a fresh interpretation of heavy. Following the success of 2013's sophomore album Life for the Living, and having toured the UK, USA and Canada, the band's third full length album Backwater was recorded by Adam Pike (Red Fang), in Portland at Toadhouse Studios.
Venturing to Portland to work with Adam Pike at Toadhouse Studios in February 2015, the band’s intention was to explore the heavy sonic principles of the Pacific Northwest and embrace Portland’s music scene. Adam – who recorded Red Fang’s debut album and tours with them as their front of house engineer – was an integral component in achieving the band’s aspirations in the studio and ensuring their exploits across the city were well advised.
Backwater features Holy Grove vocalist Andrea Vidal on the ethereal first half of “The Wailing Sound”, a feature song alongside the title track, pummeling rockers “Fuller, “Give Way”, and the meandering complexities of “The Return”.
