The clan of the moon fist has arrived!
The new album from the genre-defying collective known as GOBLIN HOVEL is now available on CD and digital formats. Stream and purchase Gobischkevrot
The album is a synthesis of avant-garde metal and comedic audio drama. Gobischkevrot recounts the story of a beleaguered clan of goblins seeking mystical power in a desperate struggle for survival in a human-dominated world.
A concept album in the truest sense, Gobischkevrot blends intense folk-inspired metal with spoken-word narration from the Goblin RaidBoss known as Skraptif.
With over 20 releases under their belt, GOBLIN HOVEL fully embraces their metal influences with Gobischkevrot; a natural progression from 2022’s Whatever Keeps the Light On.

GOBLIN HOVEL is a collective of musicians and artists formed in Meadville, PA in 2010 and currently based in Buffalo/Rochester, NY. Though primarily influenced by heavy metal, the band takes cues from various musical and folk traditions from around the world to create an intense avant-garde soundscape reflective of humanity’s chaotic and often contradictory nature. Lyrically, the band focuses on the universal human experience filtered through the lens of history, folklore, and esoterica.
