King Leviathan are a blackened thrash metal quartet from Brighton UK. In 2015 they unleashed their successful and well-received EP ‘The Shrine’ so expectations and anticipation is high for their full-length debut ‘Paean Heretica’. The album is their darkest and heaviest yet and explores many morbid and difficult themes. Opening track ‘Primitive Baptism’ is crushing with slick and brilliant production which runs throughout the album. The vehement vocals paired with the striking clean melodic lines make quite the impression and is a colossal way to start. Next up is the storming single ‘Sanctification’ which is hefty with massive beastly riffs and solo guitar work, this is perfect for mosh pit antics. Their talent shines in mighty bursts of power, with the right balance of sinister sounds and hopefulness, helped by the non-screamed vocals. The song is inspired by the first crusade launched by Pope Urban the second to retake the Holy Land and the countless slaughter that was left i...

The south coast act have become known for their combination of extreme thrash and groove metal vibes with hints of black metal, providing whirlwinds of guitar shreds. On top of that Adam Sedgwick‘s vocal capability has vastly improved since 'The Shrine', he makes switching from a power singing voice to furiously aggressive shouts seem effortless. Now, the blackened thrash four-piece have just announced details for their eagerly awaited debut album, 'Paean Heretica', which has been two years in the making. It is King ...

King Leviathan are a four piece thrash band from Brighton obsessed with the occult, and having only been together just over a year, they are quickly building their campaign of followers and stamping their mark into Brighton’s ever growing music scene!
