Hey did you know if you search the youtube for Halloween-related metal, all you get is a bunch of operatic bullshit covers of some song from Nightmare Before Christmas? Yeah I’m not sure what that’s all about. So I decided to hit up some Nekrogoblikon, because Jon Goblikon is awesome. Here’s powercore, which has some of that nu metal singing and stuff, but there’s a goblin! A real ass goblin!

Ooh and one of the related songs is from “A Band of Orcs”! They are very much thrashy deathy metal, which seems appropriate for Orcs. The music is decent enough, though it’s downsampled so horrifically that you can’t make out the low end too much. And it was posted in 2012. Whoopie!

And one more for good measure, since a bunch of my friends are playing that new Lord of the Rings game. And blasting Destroy the Orcs while destroying, well, orcs. Here’s a live one, proving Cam Pipes is worthy of the metal vocalist god pantheon:

And the recorded version which sounds bigger and bolder!
