Simon Says No!

Just for the record Oslo-based band Simon Says No did not take their name from the popular children's game "Simon Says..." If you're interested in the full story, we'll have to start from the beginning. The seeds of Simon Says No! were formed years ago, before the band was even a figment of anyone's imagination. Current and future band mates Ruben Nesse (guitar/vocals) and Simon Oakland (guitar) were on a European tour in ’06 with their then current band, hardcore outfit Jeroan Drive.

Nekrogoblikon

What happens when you put a bunch of bloodthirsty, music-loving goblins together? Well, a lot of disembowelment, but also a lot of catchy tunes. Formed six millennia ago, and practicing only every other leap year on a full moon, the band has perfected their brand of crushing goblin metal. On a cold, dreary winter night in July of 2006, Nicholas Von Doom and Tim were in the woods engaging in general tomfoolery when they stumbled upon a mysterious cardboard box with their names crudely inscribed with a Sharpie® Permanent Marker.
