This band here is founded by none other than Efthimis Karadimas and is his side project he’s been doing since late 2013. They consist of very much rock and doom elements to their music with mid paced attack. The SlayerKing also has a few music videos out if you haven’t seen them yet, but this album overall is the meat and bones of what the SlayerKing is all about. This is their 2nd album they put out. Their heaviest really sticks to you and is meshed with non compressed progressive metal forces that keep everything slightly together in a solid way. Their grinding around really sounds more like an older Mastadon to me than anything but more so like Nightfall with changes in the vocal approach here and there by Efthimis. Overall very tight sounding and excellent bunch of songs here. I can’t wait to see what they do with their next album and also with Nightfall with Children of Eve… but that my friends is a WHOLE nother story…. Check them out here! -Daniel Ryan
