UMUR
"Nuclear Guru" is a single by UK stoner metal act Orange Goblin. The single was released through Man's Ruin Records in November 1997. Later that same year the two tracks from this single were featured on a split with UK doom metal act Electric Wizard. The title track from the single would also be featured on the band´s second full-length studio album "Time Travelling Blues (1998)".

The title track is a "typical" Orange Goblin track from those days. catchy stoner/doom metal heavily influenced by Black Sabbath. The second track on the single is a cover version of "Hand of Doom" by Black Sabbath. It sticks pretty close to the original, but it´s an enjoyable and well performed cover.

"Nuclear Guru" is a bit of a collector´s item and I´d recommend getting the 1997 split with Electric Wizard insteased of this single, as you get both tracks from the single plus the 17:06 minutes long "Chrono.naut" track by Electric Wizard on the split. Isolated seen this single is a great purchase though and a 3.5 star (70%) rating is fully deserved.
