Go musical goblin-mode with Nekrogoblikon at Orlando’s Abbey

Cali-based goblin-fronted metal ensemble Nekrogoblikon return to Orlando this week, with loud riffs and convincing couplets about how it’s actually quite easy being green.

Orlando, a goblin-friendly city already (see the runaway success of Goblin Market, popping up all over town), will no doubt welcome this viral metal sensation with open arms once again. Fronted by gobliny musician and author John Goblikon (John Goblikon’s Guide to Living Your Best Life), the metallers hit big in the early 2020s with single “No One Survives.”

And from there, it’s been 24/7 goblin mode, metal-style, for this band. We, for one, welcome our new goblin overlords.

6 p.m. Thursday, May 29, The Abbey, $38.49.
