KING, is an unfaltering and melancholic blackened metal force. Within new album, Reclaim The Darkness, KING creates the perfect soundtrack to tell tales of an old world, a world forged by the gods and walked by giants. Tales of dark and bleak battles, never-ending winters and the wonders of time and space. Tonight, they unleash a new song, All In Black, taken from the forthcoming album, Reclaim The Darkness, which is due out on 26 August 2016 via Indie Recordings.
KING was formed in 2013 by David Hill and Tony Forde who had worked together previously on grindcore and death metal projects but shared the same drive to create something with more depth and space to express their musical ideas and concepts. David Haley joined KING on drums in 2014 to complete the line-up, his drum arrangements perfectly captured the atmosphere of KING taking the compositions to the next level.
Drawing from shared musical influences like Immortal, Moonsorrow, In Flames, Satyricon, Dissection and Soilwork, the underlying focus during the writing process was on strong song structures to allow the arrangements to effortlessly transition between raw black metal and epic, soaring layered melodies.
Tony Forde comments on their debut album, Reclaim The Darkness: “We’re extremely excited with the way the recording and mixing of the album has turned out, Joseph at Crawl Space managed to capture the true essence of KING throughout the entire process. The album mastering was taken care of by Thomas Eberger at Stockholm Mastering and we are blown away by the finished product.”
