Alright, folks, grab your earplugs and strap in because King Zog’s debut album in 2017 was nothing short of a sonic tsunami, crashing into the metal scene and setting the underworld of doom ablaze! Just take a listen to tracks like “Temple’s Temple”" “Man-sized Rotisserie” and “Witchsmoker". They pack a punch that mirrors the fiery and fierce artwork dreamt up by Dominic Sohor—explosive, right?
King Zog - "Witchsmoker"
Fast forward to today, and this musical colossus hasn’t rested on its laurels. Nope! The lineup—Daniel Durack (vocals/guitar), Connor Pitts-West (guitar), Martin Gonzalez (bass), and Sean Ryan (drums)—has been grinding harder than ever during these wild pandemic years. They transformed those lockdown blues into a relentless work ethic, crafting album number two like true metal alchemists.
And now for the big news! "Second Dawn," which dropped on July 31, 2024, under the banner of Rue Morgue Records, is here, and let me tell you, it’s bigger, heavier, and doomier than anything you’ve ever experienced. It promises to be the rampaging bull of Iommic riffs, seismic bottom ends, and rhythms that hit like a freight train—seriously, it’s everything you’ve been salivating for!
Diving into the soundscapes of "Second Dawn", there’s this crushing weight—downtuned and distorted—lifting us up with those unfiltered, powerful vocal hooks. It’s like watching Sisyphus push that rock up the hill, only to have it crash down and start all over again, but with a weirdly satisfying rhythm—now, that’s strength!
From the blistering opener “Scelestic Dusk” to the earth-shattering title track, this album is your ticket on a wild trip through cyclonic seas, each wave crashing hard but inviting. Instant doom classics like “Rat King” and “Brute Beast” are here, and their names are as wicked as their sound, embodying those ghoulish vibes that fans crave.
Now, perched as the go-to doom band in their hometown of Perth, these guys are eyeing the horizon, ready to sail the stormy seas after the successful release of “Second Dawn.” They’ve headlined sold-out shows, toured the sunburnt east coast, and shredded roofs off of every heavy festival in their path—they’ve become the monstrous entities their debut foreshadowed, no doubt!
So, with hearts pounding and riffs roaring, they’re poised to ink the next chapter in their epic saga. The time has come; it’s officially the hour of their “Second Dawn.” Can you feel the excitement? I sure can!
And hey, metal fans—stay tuned and keep that headbanging spirit alive!
