The follow-up to last year’s critically-adored A Time Of Hunting full-length was produced and mixed by Sanford Parker (Twilight, Voivod, Eyehategod, Yob etc.) at Studio G in Brooklyn, New York, mastered by Collin Jordan (Eyehategod, Indian, Wovenhand, Voivod etc.) at The Boiler Room in Chicago, Illinois and delivers seven, lead-footed doom rock hymns. With their third album in four years, Kings Destroy leaves their hardcore-born stamp on noise rock and doom. After sharing stages with Pentagram, Winter, Saint Vitus, Church of Misery, Yob, Pallbearer, Vista Chino, Orange Goblin, Trouble, Acid King, Corrosion Of Conformity and so many others, the five-piece stand tall with their defining statement.
The band unites musicians from many of the genres’ most prolific bands. Hailing from the Greenpoint section of Brooklyn, Kings Destroy features guitarists Carl Porcaro and Chris Skowronski from legendary, 100K album selling Killing Time, vocalist Steve Murphy from Uppercut, drummer Rob Sefcik formerly of The Begotten, Uppercut, Fur and Electric Frankenstein and bassist Aaron Bumpus.

Influenced by old thrash metal and by legendary acts such as Sarcofago, Holocausto, Sextrash, Vulcao and Possessed, these Peruvian tyrants play blackened old school death/thrash the way it was meant to be.

Channeling inspiration from one of death metal’s iconic, founding American acts, Death, into their own mangled interpretation, Gruesome’s Savage Land, a truly horrid slab of late-‘80s/early-‘90s Florida-styled death metal created in homage to the late Chuck Schuldiner’s early masterworks, humbly determined to keep the band’s sound alive as authentically as possible.
Boston -based hard rock emissaries Archon are dropping their new EP Waste You on 3/30. To celebrate the band has teamed up with Ghost Cult to premiere the title track and first single today. Musically in the same vein as Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Alter Bridge, and Sevendust, ‘Waste You’ is a driving, balls-out track with a great chorus; you know the way they used to make songs. Check out the track below:
