Healing Through Fire


Healing Through Fire is the sixth studio album by English stoner metal band Orange Goblin, released in 2007. This is their first album released on Sanctuary Records, and their first not to be released by Rise Above Records. Ben Ward said of the album:
"It's not a concept album at all, but we are using the theme of the Great Plague of London and the Great Fire that followed for a lot of lyrical and musical influence. It's definitely the strongest material we have written".

A limited number of copies came with a bonus DVD. The DVD features a live set recorded at The Mean Fiddler in London on 16 December 2006 and also includes some interviews and studio footage.

    Trivia

The art for the audio disc incorporated the Latin phrase "Nam ut quisque est vir optimus, ita difficillime esse alios improbos suspicatur", written on the outer edge. This phrase is from the writings of Cicero, a Roman orator, and can be translated as "The more virtuous any man is, the less easily does he suspect others to be vicious."
