Nekrogoblikon has been touring lately with John Goblikon and Dickie Allen (Infant Annihilator, etc.) behind the mic instead of Nicky Calonne. The band has now announced that both Goblikon and Allen are their new vocalists, and that Calonne is out of the band to pursue different paths in life.
"I'm friggin' singing RIGHT NOW!" said Goblikon. "About dang time! And, I am excited to be the first guy in a band to ever say, 'BIG THINGS COMING! STAY TUNED!'"
"I'm extremely grateful and stoked to join Nekrogoblikon full-time," said Allen. "At the start of 2023, I never expected it to end like this. After such a short period of time, these guys have become family, and I can't wait to see what the future has in store for Nekrogoblikon."
"We're so excited to finally give John the promotion he's always been dreaming of and officially welcome the super talented, goblin-in-human-form Dickie Allen to Nekrogoblikon," added lead guitarist Alex Alereza. "Touring together this past year has been an absolute blast, and the chemistry among the six of us on stage has been incredible. We can't wait to bring this new energy to the studio."
On Calonne's departure, Nekrogoblikon offered: "Nicky has amicably parted ways with Nekrogoblikon to pursue a new life path. We support his decision and wish him nothing but the best moving forward.
"That being said, we are thrilled to announce our long-time mascot/insurance salesman John Goblikon and our new friend Dickie Allen as our permanent vocalists! As seen live this past year, John will handle the clean singing while Dickie takes on all things growling, screaming, and squealing."
