The real tragedy about the emergence of Goblin Cock is that it has occurred in an era without Beavis & Butthead. The mind simply reels at the endless stream of possibilities their name alone might have held for those beloved headbanging cartoon miscreants. Hell, they could have gotten a whole season out of the first album alone. Nevertheless, we feel compelled to admit that -- probably like many other music media manipulators -- our biggest impetus in reporting on Goblin Cock is that it's just so much bloody fun merely to say "Goblin Cock." But then, part of the band's whole ethos seems to be about appealing to your inner 13-year-old anyhow.

The adolescent inside you will be majorly stoked to discover that the tongue-in-cheek alt-metal mysteriosos have announced a new album for early next year, to coincide with their, um, Cock Across America tour. Yes, Lord Phallus and the boys will be sporting their Residents-meet-the-Mentors look on stages across the land in support of Come With Me If You Want To Live, and America will likely never be the same.
