Limited Edition Clear Blue Vinyl Pressing! King, an unfaltering and melancholic blackened metal force - keeping the spirit of old while carving a new path, epic while remaining raw, majestic while retaining a primitive atmosphere. Within '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. King was formed in 2013 by David Hill and Tony Forde who had worked together previously on grindcore and deathmetal 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. With all the pre-production having been completed in their own studio King then entered Crawl Space studios February 2015, spending the following weeks recording and mixing.The debut album, Reclaim The Darkness, was written and recorded over an intense 2 year period, with the final product being completed on the Autumn equinox. All music was recorded and engineered by Joseph Haley at Crawl Space Studio and mastered by Thomas Eberger at Stockholm Mastering who has worked with bands such as Gorgoroth, Darkane, I and Symphony X. The result is a timeless offering, ready to be unleashed
