The versatile and prolific Rob Crow has been a part of quite a few acclaimed projects (Pinback, Heavy Vegetable, etc.) over the course of his esteemed career. He goes by Lord Phallus when delivering thunderous sludge-metal via the hilariously named San Diego five-piece Goblin Cock. Scorching riffs, humorous lyrics, and Crow’s distinct vocals constitute the heart of band’s tongue-in-cheek (?) product but one best incorporate the imagery in tow, such as the thematically appropriate fantasy art by Mike Sutfin that adorns Goblin Cock CD sleeves as well as the mysterious allure generated by the five cloaked members, to fully grasp the band’s vision. Check out the album cover for Come With Me If You Want To Live on Sutfin’s blog and the video for “We’ve Got A Bleeder” on Vimeo.
The band was nominated for three PLUG awards in 2006, on the heels of its 2005 debut Bagged And Boarded. This evening, Goblin Cock penetrates Red 7 in support of its second release, the aforementioned Come With Me If You Want To Live; Warship (featuring former From Autumn To Ashes members Francis Mark and Rob Lauritsen) and local metal-heads Eagle Claw support.
