Photo credit to Greig Clifford King Leviathan To Unleash Debut Album 'Paean Heretica', On 5th August King Leviathan, hailing from Brighton UK have gathered quite the following since releasing their critically acclaimed 2015 E.P 'The Shrine', spreading their "Black Mass" to Bloodstock Open Air and several iterations of Mammothfest as well as touring the UK with the likes of Wretched Soul, Abhorrent Decimation and Meta-Stasis.

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 ...

The band are known for their extreme and intense live shows performing their unique psycho-extreme-tech-death metal and they are being unleashed to play as main support to Savage Messiah on the Saturday 30th August at the epic return of MammothFest 2014 in Brighton..I dared to ask Patient 05: Solomon.J.Lucifier.Christ: Throat Disorder & Psychiatric S-scapes (also known as the vocalist of the band!) about what to expect at the festival and their new album..
