Nekrogoblikon Premiere New Single & Music Video "Secret Elephant" - Reel Big Fish Guest

Nekrogoblikon have announced a brand new EP titled The Boling Sea, set for release on April 17. The goblin-fronted melodic death metal outfit have also lined up an unexpected collaboration for the outing, teaming with ska punk veterans Reel Big Fish on the newly released track “Secret Elephant.”

Co-vocalist John Goblikon stated of the song:

“I’ve been asked to give a statement on our new song ‘Secret Elephant‘ and after strong consideration, I’ve decided I’m not quite sure know what that means. But what I DO know is secrets don’t make friends… unless that secret is, of course, an elephant who you happened to befriend. They also say an elephant never forgets, but goblins definitely do, because I literally can’t remember where I put my phone!

I had it earlier and then I got distracted by this email asking me for a quote about our new song ‘Secret Elephant,’ which is such a banger by the way. Ooh, that reminds me I gotta look for my phone!” — Sent from John’s iPhone.”

Co-vocalist Dickie Allen (Infant Annihilator) also weighed in on the Brandon Dermer-directed music video for the track, stating: “It was so much fun filming ourselves being goofballs. Also, has anyone seen my beer?”

Jason Suecof (The Black Dahlia Murder, Trivium) handled production and mixing duties for the new EP. Speaking on the release as a whole, guitarist Alex Alereza stated:

“Writing for this release began in the midst of constant touring and right after bringing on a new vocal duo, so we found ourselves in new territories both in terms of pace and creative process. And that ended up being a good thing! We had a blast making this together and hope everyone enjoys these songs as much as we do. And for the Nekro fans that have been with us for a very long time, we decided to include live recordings of five Nekro classics!”
