The Goblin King Returns! Vocal Analysis of Nekrogoblikon "Show Me Your Goblin"

Dickie Allen Unleashes the Goblin! | Vocal Coach Reacts to Necrogoblikon

This might be the most fun I’ve had analyzing vocals in a long time. Dickie Allen—yes, that Dickie Allen—has officially joined Necrogoblikon, and he brought his signature goblin voice with him. In this breakdown of “Show Me Your Goblin (Double Feature Pt. 1),” I take a deep dive into his technique, articulation, and the vocal textures that make this performance such a wild ride.

As a full-time harsh vocal coach and the vocalist for Kardashev, I’ve spent thousands of hours helping vocalists safely explore the kind of extreme sounds Dickie is known for. Let’s get into what makes this performance so unique and how you can start developing similar sounds yourself.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this video:
• One way to recreate Dickie's signature “goblin” tone
• Why forward placement and twang matter in extreme vocals
• Tips for practicing compressed screams safely
• How to use your upper vocal tract to shape aggressive textures
• The versatility of fry and false cord in expressive metal vocals
• Why technique supersedes genre when it comes to harsh sounds

If you're working on your own vocals and want to explore powerful, unique techniques like these, check out the resources at KardavoxAcademy.com. And let me know in the comments—should I try to get Dickie back on the channel for a full part two?
