Power专辑介绍
Not everybody likes listening to music sung by a goblin. That shouldnt need saying, but metalheads are so fond of strangely humourless novelty bands that theres a real gap in the market for Californias Nekrogoblikon. Their first two full-lengths, if not breathtakingly original, were passable vehicles for entertainment in a genre which has already covered porn, aliens and even parrots. The riffs werent fantastic but if a song about the "Goblin Christmas Armageddon" was ever a good idea, then this band offered the definitive interpretation. With that in mind we ought to consider that the whole thing is faintly ridiculous, and that new EP "Power" is not to be taken seriously under any circumstances. Everybody might have a bit more fun that way, and I wont tell anyone if you wont. Got it? Good... "Power" is a certifiable Bit of Fun which demystifies various styles of symphonic metal with a dollop of folk and a total lack of gravity. At a very brief 19 minutes, it refuses to settle and instead approaches each song with a slightly different tack. "Friends (In Space)" spins out harmonized riffs from the Gothenburg bargain bin, "Powercore" smacks the low C string like a Kerrang! TV ad bumper and "Bells & Whistles," as the name suggests, boasts a formidable array of sound effects including pan flutes, xylophones and human screams which, at the very least, relieve some of the tedium. Closing track "Giraffe" trades off accordion and lead guitar, bringing proceedings to a close with the sickly day-glo taste exclusive to metal bands who use the great German squeezebox. The cagey rasps of Nicholas Von Doom (hint: hes the one in the goblin mask) are squarely on the beat and high up the register, in a similar vein to The Black Dahlia Murder, but compared to the bands esteemed countrymen, his subject matter is rather less morose.
