█ KING have spent the last two years painstakingly █
█ writing Coldest Of Cold with supreme focus and █
█ vision on forging black metal of the most █
█ monumental scale. As evidenced on their debut █
█ album Reclaim The Darkness, KING have a master's █
█ grasp on creating music that evokes the scathing █
█ and pristine art of their forebears, such as █
█ Immortal and Satyricon. They inject it with even █
█ more triumphant melodic elements and dynamics, █
█ giving it an immense musical and emotional scope. █
█ Coldest Of Cold takes that initial statement of █
█ intent and expands on it. No less grandiose and █
█ magnificent. With this album, KING have looked █
█ into the heart of darkness and delivered a truly █
█ savage and callous piece of work, even more richly █
█ evocative and transportive. With a stronger drive █
█ toward gripping hooks and charging choruses, none █
█ of the subtlety and nuance has been sacrificed. █
█ The melodies and composition of these new songs █
█ are still carrying the beauty and awe of Reclaim █
█ The Darkness, but the emotional journey delves █
█ deeper into the bleak abyss while never forsaking █
█ the reverence of nature and the veneration of the █
█ spirit. █
█ █
█ Coldest Of Cold is without doubt a darker and more █
█ attacking album, packed start to finish with one █
█ anthem after another. Still uplifting, but less of █
█ a 'raise the flag, troops' rallying-cry and more █
█ of a 'this must be done and I will be obeyed' █
█ decree of a KING who has seen too much and knows █
█ that the path to glory will first lead through █
█ hell. This KING is a tyrant of necessity with ice █
█ in his veins and the burden of a vulnerable world █
█ on his shoulders. █
