Info
On November 1, 2026 at The Opera House in Toronto, Nekrogoblikon marks two decades of goblin‑fuelled metal. Born in California in 2006, the band stitches melodic death, metalcore bite and power‑tinged hooks with prominent keys and tongue‑in‑cheek storytelling. Expect a set that moves from early Goblin Island and Stench to Heavy Meta, Welcome to Bonkers and The Fundamental Slimes and Humours, with Nicky Calonne at the mic and the onstage mascot John Goblikon keeping their absurd universe intact.
Aborted joins from Belgium under the lead of Sven de Caluwé. Their catalogue shifts from raw brutality to a tighter, modern production, mixing deathgrind acceleration, thick grooves and abrupt breaks. Live, that reads as dense riffing and a steady push‑pull of speed and weight, drawing on records like Retrogore, La Grande Mascarade and Maniacult.
Pittsburgh’s Signs of the Swarm complete the bill with a strain of deathcore built on cavernous vocals, downtempo slams and terse, syncopated riffs. With vocalist David Simonich and drummer‑composer Bobby Crow at the core, the band leans into darker textures while adding dynamic shifts heard on Absolvere and Amongst the Low & Empty.
