Joshua Long This band never releases garbage and the lyrical content is amazing. There is a deep narrative within every song and each album has a thematic element that tells a story. Yeah, this is an EP, but, nonetheless, it tells a story as I believe all music should.
Powercore is a punch in the face from beginning to end, but the good kind and you don't even need to be a sub to enjoy the aforementioned punch. ;) Favorite track: Powercore.

Many things can happen in space! Moons spinning past, black holes, gamma rays... You can see lots of things in space! Asteroids, cosmic dust, solar winds forever gust! Unless you want to die in space you must learn to trust... Your friends! Things, things in space, lots of things! One dwarf, two dwarf, red dwarf, blue dwarf! Stuff, stuff in space, lots of stuff! Three dwarf, four dwarf, black hole, fuck you! Friends, friends in space, lots of friends! Nekrogoblikon! Nekrogoblikon! Space! Trust your friends, just your friends! Nekrogoblikon! Nekrogoblikon! To the heavens, we shall fly - try to find the reason why To the edge of space we'll blast, towards the future, fuck the past! Lots of things surrounding you, it's a brand new point of view Trust your heart, follow through, don't stop searching for the truth! Cryogenic encounters of the cosmic kind Into the void, what will we find? Who knows? Severed the ties - we left it all behind Into the stars we go! What we find IS A FUCKING HIVE MIND [solos: Alex, Aaron] Many things can happen in brains! Time's coming near, almost there, never fear... You can think lots of stuff with brains! Free your mind, join the horde! Friends in space forevermore All together powerful and we will never reach The end! Brains, brains in space, lots of brains! could mind, don't mind, never mind, hive mind! Space, space in space, lots of space! Three void, four void, butt hole, fuck you! Friends, friends in space, lots of friends! Nekrogoblikon! Nekrogoblikon! Hark! Trust your friends, just your friends! Nekrogoblikon! Nekrogoblikon!

Darkness blots out the sun Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run A roaring torrent of oily fiends Through the city streets careens Crickets! That's what they are Crickets! As far as the eye can see: They're hopping and chirping and breeding and Feasting on the flesh of you and I will not survive! This onslaught of evil embodied: This insect eruption, this cricket corruption All mankind will die! (all mankind will die) Nothing but crickets remain: Foolish and proud, we thought them mundane. Until one fateful night, everything changed, Out with a chirp, not with a bang! Chirp chirp chirp BLEHH This vulgar contagion of cricketine rot Spreads through the land with a chirp and a hop As we swarm to the left, we shall swarm to the right Battalions of crickets all swarming tonight We are crickets together; crickets who sin Husk on the outside, crickets within! Hopping together, we're hopping all night Hopping for victory, hopping with might! Bounding over the hills, They won't stop till they get their fill! Squirming river of terrible bugs, Catastrophic hopping flood! Crickets! Rain from the sky! Crickets! They're coming for you and me: Leaping and creeping and crawling and Gouging out your... I will not survive! Ignoring our sobs and ignoring our begs As they kick off our faces with muscular legs All mankind will die! (all mankind will die) You are a cricket and I am one too, We're all just crickets who are coming for you An eye for a feeler, or an arm for a wing, It's time for our revenge on all human fiends.

Powercore 03:56
Get out! Your repugnancy deeply sickens me, You are a failure and I want you to die! Your dumb look implies that you do not know why, So let me break it down: You are stifling the power, rotten to the core Such a massive fail, guess what? You're boring and I've seen this all before You're a joke and no one's laughing, I'm goin' for baroque and it all comes crashing down Every time that you try to do something right You seem to get it oh so wrong It's almost like a joke But no one's laughing now As we reach the final hour You were never the core of my power Just a foolish dream and You have failed me You're so terrible, it's unbearable You're just a phony, and I want you to explode Your deplorable brain fills my heart with disdain Ain't got the time to explain... [solos: Aaron, Alex] To think I ever trusted you makes me bow my head in shame Everything has gone to shit and as always you're the only one to blame Reality trembles at the notion of one so naive To know I gave you one more chance gives me the creeps More disappointing than a box of rats on christmas More worthless than a dumpster filled with pogs (POGS!) More disgusting than the time I took a bath with lots of slugs More revolting than a barrel full of ears

All aboard! It all seemed so simple, Everything was going right on (right on) track. Such a simple proposition, But nothing's ever what it seems to be. Rich or poor, what's done is done, Now there's no more (no more) going back. Full speed, full steam ahead, And we're running (running) out of track. When at first I met the fiend, He whispered to me his fiendish scheme! Flip the switch! Change the course! Money's good! No remorse! Drunk on thoughts of harlots and gold. Everything would be mine, or so I was told. Reroute the train, my only task. What for, and how, I dare not ask! Lined up at the station, Everybody wants to ride the (ride the) train. Such a tempting new adventure, But nothing's ever what it seems to be. Sheriff and deputy, banker and the hangman, Everybody's here! The time has come to go! I tell them not to fear... So all aboard! Stop! A scream from the caboose! It has begun! But why is there blood? I did not agree to murder, This is supposed to be a robbery! The fiend has stabbed me in the back! He's a fiend with a plan and I trusted him well but then How could I know this would go straight to hell? With a whistle and a bell (a whistle and a bell) A whistle and a bell (a whistle and a bell) On a train I control on the route that I changed It's a nightmare and I am the one that's to blame, With a whistle and a bell (a whistle and a bell) A whistle and a bell (a whistle and a bell) All aboard this train of death are being slaughtered Right before my eyes! Guts are flying everywhere, Propelled by fiendish lies! Dragged down the aisle, my shackled family Are slowly being flayed by the claws of the fiend! By the time I stop the train their skin is fully peeled The fiend is eating my wife's brain as a victory meal! What have I done? What have I done?! Gone and ruined a nice train ride for everyone! [solo: Alex]

Giraffe 03:22
Far away from home, looking out at the stars, We found a dead giraffe, floating right by Mars. A strange creature he was with his big sad eyes, How'd he wind up here? What a long-necked surprise! Suddenly a giraffe! Suddenly a giraffe! (Giraffe!) Everybody come look, everybody come laugh! (Giraffe!) We carried him in, we sang a somber song, There was talk of death, and if we had gone wrong... So far in space, we'd been through a lot, Should we turn back now? Has it all been for naught? Fuck it! Goblins forever! Friendship is the only option! Let's eat our new giraffe! [solo: Tim]

about

Nekrogoblikon Los Angeles, California

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 millennia ago, and practicing only every other leap year on a full moon, the band has perfected their brand of crushing goblin music. ... more
