What happens when you put a bunch of bloodthirsty music-loving goblins together? Well, a lot of disembowelment, but also a lot of catchy tunes. Formed six millenia ago, and practicing only every other leap year on a full moon, the band has perfected their brand of crushing goblin music. Through the magic of MySpace, NEKROGOBLIKON is coming to your shitty computer speakers in horrible MP3 fuzz.

If you didn’t believe that first part, NEKROGOBLIKON is a goblin metal band hailing from the grim metal locale of California, USA. The band started as a summer side project of Nicky and Tim, but outgrew their humble beginnings quickly. Their debut album, recorded over Summer and early Fall of 2006 is Goblin Island, a musical hell-storm of goblin proportions. Having released it themselves in January of 2006, the album received critical acclaim from fans worldwide.

Next, they set out to put together a full band. This entailed enlisting the help of Alex on vocals and Ashleigh on keyboards. Spencer Bartz joined up on drums, and Alex A. and Austin joined on second guitar and bass. Spencer played many shows with the band in 2007, but then moved to Japan in August. The band then recruited Alex and Austin’s friend Eddie Trager on drums to fill his mighty shoes. NEKROBOLIKON is currently playing as many local California shows as possible and honing their craft. The band continues to work on their second full-length album, currently untitled. A release date is hard to predict due to various goblin issues, but both the band and label are hoping for sometime in mid-2008.
