Nekrogoblikon have announced their new EP ‘The Boiling Sea’, which is scheduled to arrive April 17th. Alongside that reveal, the goblin-fronted melodic death metal troupe have shared the single “Secret Elephant”, featuring an unlikely collaboration with ska-punk veterans Reel Big Fish.
The track arrives with a music video directed by Brandon Dermer, while co-vocalist John Goblikon offered the following statement:
“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.”
His bandmate Dickie Allen added of the video:
“It was so much fun filming ourselves being goofballs. Also, has anyone seen my beer?”
Production on the EP was handled by Jason Suecof, while guitarist Alex Alereza commented on the project as a whole:
“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!”
