Get “The Boiling Sea” EP in advance here. A music video for the band’s new single, “The Secret Elephant,” featuring Reel Big Fish, has also been released. Brandon Dermer directed the video.

I’ve been asked to give a statement on our new song ‘Secret Elephant’ and after strong consideration, I’ve decided I’m not quite sure know what that means. But what I DO know is secrets don’t make friends… unless that secret is, of course, an elephant who you happened to befriend. Yhey also say an elephant never forgets, but goblins definitely do, because I literally can’t remember where I put my phone! I had it earlier and then I got distracted by this email asking me for a quote about our new song ‘Secret Elephant’, which is such a banger by the way. Ooh, that reminds me I gotta look for my phone! – John Goblinkon

It was so much fun filming ourselves being goofballs. Also, has anyone seen my beer? – Dickie Allen

Writing for this release began in the midst of constant touring and right after bringing on a new vocal duo, so we found ourselves in new territories both in terms of pace and creative process. And that ended up being a good thing! We had a blast making this together and hope everyone enjoys these songs as much as we do. And for the NEKRO fans that have been with us for a very long time, we decided to include live recordings of five NEKRO classics! – Alex Alereza
