The Fundamental Slimes and Humours

by Nekrogoblikon

supported by

Tavas667 Don't ask me why...but I'd call this Flying Spaghetti Monster Metal. It's
full of funky crazy ideas, probably too much for most folks, but if you like your music a little south of sanity, dig in and enjoy the meat balls 🤘😎🤘

PS this is probably what you would end up with if you'd put Galactic Cowboys, Moron Police, Devin Townsend, Toehider, Ice Nine Kills, Prong and Saigon Kick in a blender

Cyril Glaume Si l’album précédent de Nekrogoblikon (Welcome to Bonkers) se contentait de greffer avec talent un gros nez rouge au Deah mélo ancestral, The Fundamental Slimes and Humours fait définitivement exploser tous les repères pour proposer un Nawak Metal [relativement] extrême, généreux en tubes, et évoluant à la croisée de Trollfest, Ufych Sormeer et Avatar.

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

When I was a rogue cop in the 80s who recently lost my badge and gun trying to avenge my wife. She was killed by The Cartel/Mob/Yakuza/etc... Driving out to the beach to watch the sunrise from a long muggy summer night of drinking and justice. This was the soundtrack to my life. Another classic album. dzestmen
