The Wounded Kings Confirm Aug. 26 Release for Visions in Bone
An official release date for The Wounded Kings‘ fifth album, Visions in Bone, has been long in the coming. The UK progressive doomers’ last offering was 2014’s Consolamentum (review here), and though two years is hardly a long stretch between a band’s fourth and fifth long-players, for The Wounded Kings, as ever, it’s brought some significant changes in the group. Rejoining founding guitarist Steve Mills is original vocalist George Birch, who was part of the initial duo lineup when the band got started. It’s been a wide circle to complete, but go figure they got there in the end.
Visions in Bone will be a joint operation between Candlelight and Spinefarm, which bodes well in terms of it being heavy enough to require two labels to lift. Mills is always a great interview, so I think I might try to chase him down again and talk about the record sometime closer to the release on Aug. 26.
Till then, the PR wire:
THE WOUNDED KINGS To Release New Album Visions In Bone, August 26th Via Candlelight / Spinefarm Records
THE WOUNDED KINGS, doom metal warriors from the South West of England, are due to release their fifth full-length album, Visions In Bone, on August 26th via Candlelight / Spinefarm Records.
Visions In Bone was jointly produced and engineered by Chris Fielding and the band at Mwnci Studios in Wales and Skyhammer Studios in Cheshire, UK. The album swirls and flows with vintage tones and smoky vibes, with the themes of death, despair and redemption very much to the fore.
Formed in 2004, THE WOUNDED KINGS proudly uphold Britain’s occult heritage via a unique blend of spectral doom and psychedelic horror, creating a desolate, end-of-the-world vibe filled with suffocating heaviness.
The two-time Roadburn alumni are cherished by attendees and popular festival promoters alike, the latter citing them as, “British doom of staggering power”.
To date the quartet has released four full-length studio albums, plus a well received ‘split LP’ with American band, Cough.
Visions In Bone is a journey to the void… and beyond!
