| Nekrogoblikon Offers Studio Update! |
 4/03/09 - Hey there goblin fans. So everyone's been wondering about our second album and what the hell is going on with it. Well, we're getting it done, but we've had a few setbacks. Almost all the rhythm guitars are complete as well as a bunch of leads. Keyboard-wise, most of the album is written, but recording has been progressing slowly due to the difficulty of the songs - that applies to guitars too, we've had to really step up for this album to keep it tight and shreddy up to the goblin standards. We're definitely going to top Goblin Island, and I think this album will tear assholes and cause heart attacks. Lyrics are close to being done, and Nicholas Von Doom and I will need to hole up in a vocal booth with a few bottles of rum, whiskey, vodka, and beer for about a week to do those. We also have some studio diary episodes waiting to be uploaded, so I'm going to put somefinishing touches on the editing and to YouTube they go.
Keep it green. Keep it goblin.-Nekrogoblikon |
