The goblin is a different guy from the lead singer. But, such a great band! Definitely check out We Need a Gimmick and their cover of Chop Suey when you get a chance! I had the same initial thoughts about the band, but they're so unique and fun!
Man I love this band, listen to them nearly daily while walking the dog. I think of them as a bunch of goblins just trying to make it in this human world (aren't we all). Their sound reminds me a little of Mr Bungle, and combined with their Primus-like storytelling lyrics they just really float my boat. I'd be hard pressed to give a favourite song but the Welcome to Bonkers album gets played a lot. Stoked for the new album, gonna be a good April!
Power core will always be my favorite. If you get the breakdown part right you feel like you won a gold medal to me haha! “Brr brr brr brr brr Ooooh” lmao
John Goblikon is a funny fuck. They have a youtube interview show called "Right Now" on their channel. The goblin who is a comedian interviews celebs and jfc it's funny. Listen to other songs, but know his vocals are intended to sound like a "goblin". I'm a little drunk right now, and excited you are doing a reaction of this. Please do more Nekrogoblikon!
I love the marketing strategy behind the band - John Goblin (the Goblin) is not a musician in the band, he is played by an actor and is like the pet of the band... he also has his "late show" XD. Definitely worth checking out, is very enjoyable This is the one were he interviews Reggie Watts ua-cam.com/video/yWzAjS27CEI/v-deo.html
I LOVE this band. They get kind of overlooked at times because of the "gimmick" and the silliness, but, they're a SERIOUSLY tight band, they're whole Goblin theme just works for me. Their album Heavy Meta is a whole concept album that kind of tells the story of the band. Its FANTASTIC. You have to read the lyrics along with it though, dude crams a lot of words into small spaces, you tend to miss a lot
I saw these guys in LA back in 2012. The only reason we went was because we wanted to watch a show at the Whisky and this was it haha. The goblin appears on stage at various points in the show but doesn’t do much. Kind of like what Eddie is to Iron Maiden
John Goblikon is the mascot/hype man for the band. He's not the singer in anyway, but he is the spokesperson for the band. "We Need a Gimmick" is basically a meta song poking fun of what they are and is also very fun.
I love this band, definitely their best track in a while, my favorite from them is the song powercore and that whole ep, you guys should definitely check it out! Excited from more of them if they continue the good songwriting lol I saw them live at heavy Mtl and they were amazing, so energetic! And I think they have someone in the goblin costume running around stage not the singer haha
I’ve seen them live! They definitely have a lot of fun and engage the crowd! Not usually my taste in metal, but you know you’re about to fun when they come out!! 🖤 ya guys!
Def check out dressed as goblins and magic spider. My favorite song is bears (probably need to look at the lyrics when listening to that one lol), followed by the entire welcome to bonkers album. Powercore deserves an honorary mention too. Can't wait for their new album to drop : D
the band is nekrogoblikon but the goblin is there mascot john goblikon he has a talk show thats actually hilarilous called right now with john goblikon
You guys REALLY need to look into the band….. RIGHT NOW! John Goblikon is even sponsored by Americas Restaurant Chain Chili’s. He even has his own show. You can’t make this shit up guys. Also…. This band gets pretty F’n Heavy, and they are truly one of a kind. 👌🏼💯
Y'all need to check out John's work RIGHT NOW. I think it would make y'all laugh a whole lot. John Goblikon is the best TV show host alive and breathing.
hey director and writer of the video (and majority of their videos). start with NO ONE SURVIVES then check out series RIGHT NOW. also, John Goblikon doesn’t sing, it’s all Nicky
Ayy I remember first hearing these guys from a compilation video of bears rolling down hill, set to a song they did about bears - the breakdown is essentially just him screaming "bears" over and over again. Great stuff, definitely recommend that one Anyway, loved seeing your expectations/reactions to this when I knew what sort of thing was coming! I do agree, the growly vocals don't always quite gel with the instrumental all the time, and the goblin gimmick for me at least wears thin quite quickly - that being said, this song sounded a lot more mature (musically) than the other songs by them I know, and the music clip was just *so* incredibly fun! Not a band to put on playlists but a great band to put on during a road trip to confuse your friends. PS. If you guys aren't already planning to, I'd recommend checking out some of Magnolia Park's stuff; they just put a music video up for their song 'Kids Like Me' it's got a nice "nü-punk" vibe to it :)
If you want more to listen to, then try some of these: the skin thief, mold, the many faces of dr Hubert Malbec, dressed as goblins or darkness. Most these songs have music videos too for added fun and John Goblikon
100% with ya on the name. I've known about these dudes for years the names always turned me off. Finally checked this out two days ago and I'm fucking hooked. I have yet to find a song I don't like by these dudes. Yall should react to powercore next. Cheers boys
This song is a very misleading intro track to the band. I mean yes and no. They have a progressive element to their music but usually more fast tempo. Also the goblin is hilarious.
John Goblikon is the hype man this universe needs
Love this band! Would REALLY recommend to check their "No One Survives", "We need a gimmick" and "Dressed as Goblins" (in that order) videos!
Naaah, Goblins are Better than Trolls, Bears and Going to Die!
One million percent recommend their album Stench
Fool

They dont miss
Welcome to Bonkers is one of the best albums out there
Actually amazed how many people haven’t mentioned powercore. It’s awesome
I saw these guys in LA back in 2012. The only reason we went was because we wanted to watch a show at the Whisky and this was it haha. The goblin appears on stage at various points in the show but doesn’t do much. Kind of like what Eddie is to Iron Maiden
I saw them last year, John (the goblin) is singing now! He does the clean vocals
I just discovered this band. They opened for Gwar and I was blown away. Love it!
Please check out more Nekrogoblikon! Theyre so good and unique! Powercore is an excellent song if your just getting into this band.

I'm double parked 😆
John Goblikon can direct a great music video.
Oh trust me, its definitely going on your playlist, maybe not right now, but eventually youll become a fan, everyone does
Very fun band! Check out The Many Faces of Dr. Hubert Malbec.
I didnt like this song the first time I heard it but I found myself going back to it again and again and it grew on me so much lol
My favorite song by them is "The Many Faces of Dr. Hubert Malbec"
You guys should really check out Falling in Reverse’s latest track, “Zombified”
the band is nekrogoblikon but the goblin is there mascot john goblikon he has a talk show thats actually hilarilous called right now with john goblikon
100% should check out Powercore, Goblins Ahoy!, Fancy Wind, Bears.
You guys REALLY need to look into the band….. RIGHT NOW! John Goblikon is even sponsored by Americas Restaurant Chain Chili’s. He even has his own show. You can’t make this shit up guys. Also…. This band gets pretty F’n Heavy, and they are truly one of a kind. 👌🏼💯
The goblin is there band mascot… none of the band members if I’m not mistaken
It's Dave Rispoli usually. Not a band member. I think he produces them.
Y'all need to check out John's work RIGHT NOW. I think it would make y'all laugh a whole lot. John Goblikon is the best TV show host alive and breathing.
Hey it’s the guy from the Mosh ad!! lol
Dressed as Goblins.. WE NEED A GIMMICK !
It's Melodic Death Metal!
What you guys need to check out is johns podcast. RIGHT NOW!
More Nekrogoblikon, start with the classic video 'No One Survives'
Watch the talk show hosted by the goblin "Right Now" with John Goblikon
Great reaction! You HAVE to check out No One Survives or Dressed as Goblins, and Magic Spider if you're feeling fancy.
jon goblikon is his own person kind of the "manager" of the band in the story they portray. hes on tour with them and in all videos.
hey director and writer of the video (and majority of their videos). start with NO ONE SURVIVES then check out series RIGHT NOW. also, John Goblikon doesn’t sing, it’s all Nicky
Yaaaas queen
They are amazing live! Saw them at Download a few years back and the goblin was chucking shit at the crowd haha. Check out No One Survives! 🖤
I would love to see you two react to In This Moment and more from Upon a Burning Body!
Ayy I remember first hearing these guys from a compilation video of bears rolling down hill, set to a song they did about bears - the breakdown is essentially just him screaming "bears" over and over again. Great stuff, definitely recommend that one
Anyway, loved seeing your expectations/reactions to this when I knew what sort of thing was coming!

I could not get with the vocals but I liked the instrumental!
Goblin was very funny
😂
Did you guys react to more?
As far as I know, John Goblikon started as their manager, and I think he still is? Somehow, along their career, he just became a goblin?
If you want more to listen to, then try some of these: the skin thief, mold, the many faces of dr Hubert Malbec, dressed as goblins or darkness. Most these songs have music videos too for added fun and John Goblikon
the many faces of dr. hubert malbec would be another banger to give a reaction to
Literally any track off of welcome to bonkers
So did you guys listen to more and change your mind about them finding a way onto your play list?
Listen to the album stench. One of my all time favorite albums. Very different from this song
100% with ya on the name. I've known about these dudes for years the names always turned me off. Finally checked this out two days ago and I'm fucking hooked. I have yet to find a song I don't like by these dudes. Yall should react to powercore next. Cheers boys
Theyre an unbelievably tight band, qnd theyre campy without going full cringe
They are touring with GWAR and yeah they are awesome live. The Goblin is more of a mascot and is not the singer.
This song is a very misleading intro track to the band. I mean yes and no. They have a progressive element to their music but usually more fast tempo. Also the goblin is hilarious.
Verses aren´t my taste at all, but that chorus is such a weird mix of ghost and my chemical romance.. got me 100% XD
New Landmvrks.
Also Nathan looked genuinely turned off by that Johnny joke at the start.
It happens often 🤣
Sooooo 2 metal dudes that don't like harsh/metal vocals?
Incorrect. Not huge fans of black metal style vocals. Guessing this is your first time here…
@@nathandjohnny sure is. But these arent even black metal vocals. Dude has amazing range. These are Goblin vocals!
Death metal stole this style of singing from goblinkind. Most of them can't even capture the nuance of the goblin vocal range, shameful.
Also the music and the vocals together are so off-putting. Not sure if that's a common thing for this band.
probably the worst intro ever... yall make urself look ignorant.
Little too salty there, bacon.
