Nekrogoblikon

Los Angeles, CA, US · 2006–present · active
Los Angeles-based Nekrogoblikon have carved out a gleefully absurd niche as metal's premier goblin-themed band, delivering surprisingly technical melodic death metal wrapped in darkly comedic theatrics featuring their mascot, John Goblikon. Albums like 'Heavy Meta' and 'Welcome to Bonkers' pair genuine musical chops with tongue-in-cheek humor, blending death metal growls with synth-driven melodies and power metal hooks. Their viral music videos and outlandish live shows have built a devoted cult following that proves metal and comedy can coexist without sacrificing heaviness.

Nocturnal Rites

SE · 1990–present · active
Nocturnal Rites is a Swedish power metal band from Umeå, formed in 1990 under the name Necronomic as a death metal outfit before gradually shifting toward melodic power metal across their early releases. Their first album In a Time of Blood and Fire (1995) signaled the transition, and they developed into a respected melodic power metal act across nine studio albums, including Grand Illusion (2006) and The 8th Sin (2007). The band entered an indefinite hiatus in 2018, returning only for a final studio album, Phoenix (2017), before going quiet.
