Nekrogoblikon - Powercore [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

[@SevenSane]

Lyrics that make me laugh, riffs that make me hard, synth solos that make me headbang and a goblin. This band has it all.

[@5LiC3]

so the thought of being wierdley chubbed up is actually not that wierd?!

I completely fell in love with that band right after the first song. Just amazing guys with a super positive vibe. You could just feel that they were there to have fun. They managed to project that pure fucking joy for heavy music right onto the audience and it was fucking fantastic. I guess 80% of people at their gig there had never heard of them before but they managed to get almost everyone moving. RESPECT :) Love these guys!

[@sashacampbell3513]

Right? It's so cathartic, with the over the top goofy goblin themes hiding pretty profound statements about heartbreak and disappointment, while giving you some levity in a rough time. I dedicate this one to my ex, more disappointing than a box of rats on Christmas

Nekrogoblikon's drummer, Eric W. Brown (aka rainbowdragoneyes) is the composer for the OSTs for The Messenger and Sea of Stars. Some of the best video game music, maybe ever.

I come back to this video time and time again, specifically for 1:09. I literally cannot get over how epic/hilarious the goblin looks right there.

[@CoffeeGoblyn]

I like to believe that in Goblin culture, this genre of music is considered similar to what we'd think of as being opera or classical. And their hardcore stuff would make our heads explode.

Agreed. The clean vocals add a nice dimension/vibe to the song. Shows that they can expand/experiment and give us some variety. Needless to say, the growls and "shrieks" are awesome. Recently found this band and this song really made me invest in checking all their shit out. Love it!

[@Mizziri]

They actually do clean vocals right as opposed to every metalcore band ever.

[@friendlyperson8011]

Yes. Badly done clean vocals can ruin a song. Just look at Eluveitie. That band has amazing instrumentals, but the clean vocals and "oo" s ruin a lot of their songs.

[@spyros5000]

What does folk and melodeath have to do with metalcore though?

[@betweenduosandtrios]

James Moran i agree. in my opinion, nekrogoblikon, scar symmetry, and solution .45 do it correctly, though the latter two have very similar clean vocals i think. there are probably other bands that do this correctly.
