Kingslayer (Gate)

The Kingslayer is coming! The nine epic new movements on Thronehammer's Kingslayer culminate into the band's most versatile material to date, with more metal energy than ever fueling the album, with their riff savagery fully on display in every track. Unconcealed doom metal ethos meets destruction and impetuous devastation, reminiscent of Paradise Lost, Bathory, Slayer, Katatonia, Bolt Thrower, Amorphis, Candlemass, Celtic Frost to sprinkles of post-rock. All this can be discovered in Thronehammer's new crushingly epic album Kingslayer. The doom commando around singer Kat clearly develops further and can even top it's predecessor Incantation Rites. The epic lyrics do the rest, also the vocals are one step more versatile than before. As a guest Daniel Kaufman (ex Mindrot, ex Dystopia, ex Eyes of Fire, Destroy Judas) joins the band on vocals for the song Sacrosanct Grounds. A massive sound that leaves no questions unanswered contributes it's part. The album was mastered by Patrick Engel / Temple Of Disharmony (Asphyx, Candlemass, Darkthrone, Tiamat, Dissection, Trouble, Slayer). Shades of various genres can be found on the overlong Kingslayer and yet every track is clearly a Thronehammer track. Kingslayer will be released worldwide on 11/3/2023 via Supreme Chaos Records. May the Kingslayer cometh! Black double vinyl in gatefold sleeve with lyrics insert.
