After Dark Presents
Nekrogoblikon

  • Nekrogoblikon

    Heavy Metal

    Los Angeles’ self-proclaimed “Kings of Goblin Metal,” Nekrogoblikon fuse gnarly melodic death-metal riffs with EDM-style keyboard flourishes, claw-raising hooks, and a very un-serious sense of humor—led by their on-stage goblin frontman John Goblikon. Formed in 2006, the band self-produced their lo-fi debut Goblin Island (2007) in a basement, then leveled up on Stench (2011), whose viral “No One Survives” video (directed by Brandon Dermer and starring Dave Rispoli as John) exploded the Goblikon universe. They followed with the Power EP (2012), concept LP Heavy Meta (2015, Mystery Box), Welcome to Bonkers (2018), and The Fundamental Slimes & Humours (2022).

    Onstage, Nekrogoblikon channel the hyperbolic theatrics of GWAR, and Dethklok while sounding unmistakably like themselves. They’ve stormed Download, Rock am Ring/Rock im Park, Vans Warped Tour, and Summer Slaughter; toured with Limp Bizkit, Dethklok, Babymetal, DragonForce, and GWAR; and headlined numerous packed tours across North America and overseas. Offstage, the band’s comedy DNA powers RIGHT NOW—from the original viral talk-show to The Right Now Podcast with John Goblikon, featuring high-profile guests from comedy, music, and entertainment—further cementing Nekrogoblikon’s place at the intersection of heavy music and absurdist fun.

    Key releases: Goblin Island (2007), Stench (2011), Power (2012), Heavy Meta (2015), Welcome to Bonkers (2018), The Fundamental Slimes & Humours (2022).

  • Psychostick

    Hardcore Punk

    What happens when two best friends who grew up listening to Weird Al and Pantera decide to start a band combining crunching riffs and laugh-out-loud lyrics? Psychostick happens, happened, and continues to happen. Vocalist Rob Kersey and guitarist Josh Key teamed up with drummer Alex Dontre and Matty J "Moose" to create some of the most off-the-wall records to ever reach store shelves. Backed up by a fleet of viral-sensation online videos and an insane live show that few can forget, Psychostick has proven year after year that they refuse to be ignored. And the fans wouldn't have it any other way.

  • Galactic Empire

    Heavy Metal

    Galactic Empire is the galaxy’s foremost instrumental Star Wars cosplay heavy metal John Williams tribute band. Their first two music videos were viral hits, gaining over 24 million Youtube views with national press coverage including Huffington Post, Guitar World, Entertainment Weekly, and MSNBC, along with a live TV performance on E! Entertainment during their coverage of the 2016 Academy Awards. The band went on to tour extensively, headlining multiple national and overseas tours, including Canada, Europe, Japan, and Australia, along with appearances at major festivals, comic cons, sporting events, and supporting arena acts Ozzy Osbourne and BABYMETAL.

    Galactic Empire released two full-length albums with Rise Records before signing to Pure Noise Records in 2023 and releasing the third in their trilogy of Star Wars albums, “Special Edition”. The upcoming album CINEMETAL sees the band journeying to other universes as they put their signature metal twist on songs from popular film franchises including Superman, Pirates of the Caribbean, Back To The Future, Lord Of The Rings, Batman, Avengers, and more. Comprised of the most sinister musicians in the galaxy, Galactic Empire is primed to continue their journey toward becoming the ultimate power in the universe.
