Just a few months have passed since King Heavy concluded their first successful tour across South America in occasion of the release of their debut EP Horror Absoluto (as CD digipack). The Ep is also part of Almas Malditas, a substatial split 12” LP with Puerto Rico heavy doom metal squadron DoomLord (related to Dantesco) who provided an equally powerful contribution.
The split LP is released by the French label Emanes Metal Records.
Well, King Heavy are back to work for a new load of passionate and majestic doom. No wonder, as the band features excellent musicians and performers, including Luther Veldmark (Hooded Priest) on (impressive) vocals and ex-Procession member Daniel Perez Saa on bass.
A few days ago the band announced the beginning of the recording sessions for their debut full length album (7 new songs), which due out via the Italian label Cruz Del Sur Music, home to other substantial heavy doom/metal bands such as Slough Feg, Argus, Atlantean Kodex, Bible of the Devil, While heaven Wept, among others. The new album is planned for a mid-2015 release, which will be followed by a Chilean and European Tour in October/November 2015.As to the latter, those who will attend the next edition of the glorious Malta Doom Metal Fest during late October 2015 (including me, hopefully ..) will have the opportunity of enjoying one of the exhibitions of mighty King Heavy on tour. In the meantime enjoy the official live videoclip for “The Origin Of The Witch Hunts” (from King Heavy’s debut EP “Horror Absoluto”) and get hold of one of the last copies of the EP and/or the split LP by contacting the “royal headquarters” of the band at kingheavydoom@gmail.com and/or from Emanes metal Records.
