The King Is Blind "Bleeding The Ascension"

Okay I will come clean - the singer/bassist in this band is a forum chum from elsewhere on the web. However, the only reason his bands promo EP has landed a review here is because it is an impressive slab of melodic death/doom with some fantastic production values and absolutely blinding riffs.

Take opening track "Mors Somnis" with its massive opening riff, struck with real aplomb and meaning to make you instantly sit up and take notice.  This my friends is how you open a record.  The vocals are raspy and low and full of menace and threat and it's obvious some genuine thought has gone into the structures and content of each track.  These boys know how to play, their furious assaults are what every real metal loving music fan wants to hear and I am sure the live experience will be just as impressive as the recorded format.


Describing themselves as "monolithic metal" TKIB are about to undertake their first gig and already are added to the bill at this year's Bloodstock festival.



Being generous souls TKIB are giving away their promo EP on a "pay what you like" type of deal via their bandcamp page.  Naturally, as with all good music, the realm of Eminent Silence recommends you spare a few pennies, cents or monkey nuts and support this great band to produce some more of this excellent metal music.  On the subject of which they are currently working on their debut EP (proper) for a summer 2014 release.
