You just never know what to expect when the extremely internet famous podcast host, author and frontman, John Goblikon, and metal titans, Nekrogoblikon, make their way into your town. This past Sunday night, Minneapolis fans were treated to an onslaught to their ears and eyes Nekrogoblikon headlined the Varsity Theater.
With an inflatable replica of John Goblikon’s head center stage, Nekrogoblikon opened their 13-song set with their always popular song “Darkness” whipping the crowd into a frenzy. Dickey Allen & John Goblikon leading the charge commanded the stage as guitarists Alex Alereza and Joe Nelson provided the footprint of riffs for the night. It’s been amazing to see the rise of this band over the past few years. Fresh off their performance at Milwaukee Metal Fest, Nekrogoblikon proved they are most than just a band with Goblin and his stunning good looks.
Nekrogoblikon weaved their way through fan favorites “Dressed as Goblins” “Fiend” and “Show me Your Goblin.” John even entertained the crowd in between songs with his quick wit and impressive knowledge of Minnesota Twins baseball, maybe more than some fans…….
With the night coming to a close, Nekrogoblikon started their encore out with “The Magic Spider” complete with beautiful choreography by the band members. To watch the crowd sing along to every word and then only to go crazy as John announced “This Is It,” you can see why the popularity of this band has grown so much. While they entertain you visually, this band is no joke with it comes to their music. The future is green and bright for Nekrogoblikon!
