Goblin Cock have announced their first new album in eight years, titled Traumanaut, which is set to be released on October 9th via Joyful Noise Records. The band has also unveiled the melodic and heavy lead single “Remains.”
Album Details
The lead single “Remains” skews away from the doom the band is known for, landing closer to alternative rock with a heftier guitar tone or a much brighter take on stoner metal. It shows Goblin Cock evolving to hew closer to Pinback, the main band of its main mind Lord Phallus.
The lyrical direction of the song also cuts more emotional and less comedic, featuring a refrain of “When they dragged the waves for remains / they didn’t have to show them to me,” a far cry from their earlier songs about Snuffleupaus and Godzilla.
Album Release and Tracklist
Traumanaut is the project’s fifth LP and first in eight years, following 2016’s piano-driven cover album Roses on the Piano. It’s been 10 years since the project’s last metal record, 2016’s Necronomidonkeykongimicon.
