Nekrogoblikon

The world’s premiere goblin metal masters, Nekrogoblikon, are set to unleash their latest sonic assault in the form of The Boiling Sea EP. Formed in 2006, the band catapulted from obscurity to global cult stardom with their 2012 viral anthem “No One Survives,” cementing a legacy of chaotic melodic death metal and zany, goblin-themed lore.

After years of relentless touring and five studio albums, the band has entered a bold new era. The Boiling Sea marks a historic milestone as the first official studio release to feature the band’s new vocal powerhouse duo: John Goblikon and Dickie Allen.

Once the band’s longtime mascot, insurance salesman, and podcast host, John Goblikon has finally been promoted to permanent lead vocalist, handling the melodic and clean singing duties.

Dickie Allen, renowned for his “throat-shredding” prowess in Infant Annihilator, the “goblin-in-human-form” now spearheads the band’s signature harsh vocals, bringing a new level of “carnage” to their recorded sound

Produced and mixed by veteran “part-goblin” Jason Suecof (Job for a Cowboy, The Black Dahlia Murder), this new EP serves as a high-octane testing ground for the duo’s dynamic chemistry — first teased by the 2025 singles “Show Me Your Goblin” and “Fiend.”

As Nekrogoblikon prepares to submerge fans in the murky depths of The Boiling Sea, they prove that even after nearly two decades, they are still the undisputed kings of the goblin-core realm.

Galactic Empire is the galaxy’s foremost instrumental Star Wars cosplay heavy metal John Williams tribute band. Their first music video was a viral hit, gaining over 10 million views with national press coverage including Huffington Post, Guitar World, Entertainment Weekly, and MSNBC, along with a live TV performance on E! Entertainment during their coverage of the 2016 Academy Awards. The band has released two full-length albums with Rise Records (produced and mixed by Carson and Grant), along with four more music videos. They’ve toured extensively, headlining multiple national and overseas tours, including Canada, Europe, Japan, and Australia, along with appearances at major festivals, comic cons, sporting events, and supporting arena acts Ozzy Osbourne and Babymetal. In 2022 the band signed with Pure Noise Records, and released their third studio LP “Special Edition” May 3. The band is primed to continue their journey toward becoming the ultimate power in the universe.
