The Wounded Kings Announce European Tour
The prospect of a new full-length from Devon doomers The Wounded Kings lurks on the horizon like a dark spot at sunset, just reminding ever so slightly of the horrors to come. This will be the persistently-nebulous outfit’s fifth full-length overall and their second for Candlelight Records behind last year’s chills-up-the-spine creeper Consolamentum (review here), which was as much the end of an era as it was the beginning of one, as it turns out. Always pretty fluid in their lineup around founding guitarist Steve Mills, The Wounded Kings welcomed original vocalist George Birch back into the band, and the forthcoming Visions in Bone will serve as Birch‘s first record with them since 2010’s The Shadow over Atlantis (review here).
They’re a much different band than they were when they and Birch first parted ways. For one thing, they play live. For another thing, they’re a whole band. But Birch has had some time to get adjusted over the course of this year, playing Hellfest in France this summer, preparing the new album, and so on. The Wounded Kings will be at Damnation Festival this weekend with 40 Watt Sun, Witchsorrow, Ohhms and an imperial fuckton of others, but they’ve also just announced a European tour for March 2016 that presumably will coincide one way or another with the Visions in Bone release. They had unveiled a song from the album, along with the cover art (it’s similar to the tour poster below) and some other details, but it would seem it was for a limited time only. More to come, I’m sure.
