Goblin Cock to Release Necronomidonkeykongimicon Sept. 2
Fuck yes. You should know that I’m not putting this post together at work, and that’s because we’re talking about Goblin Cock. The intermittent doom rock project of Rob Crow (Pinback, scores of others) will release its third album, Necronomidonkeykongimicon, via Joyful Noise on Sept. 2. The title? Righteous. The streaming song “Something Haunted?” Righteous. The album? Can’t fucking wait.
I mean that. Goblin Cock are obviously a goof on a lot of levels, but songwriting has never been one of them. The band’s last record, Come with Me if You Want to Live (discussed here), came out in 2009, and I still have the mp3s on my phone and the CD on my shelf. They toured for that album (review here) and they’ll tour for Necronomidonkeykongimicon as well, for those lucky enough to know to show up.
Which, by the time September gets here, should include you.
From the PR wire:
Goblin Cock Announces New LP Necronomidonkeykongimicon, Out September 2nd via Joyful Noise
Stream “Something Haunted”, Fall US Tour Dates Announced
Goblin Cock has announced a new LP, Necronomidonkeykongimicon, out September 2nd via Joyful Noise Recordings. A protest album that the band describes as “a crushingly brutal Dear John letter to society,” it’s currently available for pre-order.
For a first taste of the album, you can stream opener “Something Haunted” via Soundcloud.
Goblin Cock is a band from beyond time, beyond space, beyond our naive concept of dimension in metal. Since before our pathetic “god” had supposedly “created” us and our kind, Lord Phallus was hunkered in a cybertimeship/fun dungeon, skating the layers of what was considered “true metal” in all societies and in all generations. Eventually, His Majesty realized that he really didn’t care and launched a full-scale war against bland metal with emphasis on ACTUALLY HAVING A GOOD TIME!
2005’s Bagged and Boarded was the first assault on our laughable five senses (Lord Phallus and his kind have 32), followed by 2009’s sonically intense Come With Me if You Want to Live. The band’s upcoming release — their most concise album to date — invokes the spirit of Pure Fun while appeasing their love of Doomed Art.
Necronomidonkeykongimicon is an auditory tome of such importance that it needs to be experienced before the Secret Bastards find a way to marginalize it out of existence forever.
Goblin Cock will tour the US this fall in support of the new record — see below for a list of upcoming shows.
