At the Gates of Adversarial Darkness

by Kings Rot

supported by

Metallurgical Fire Particularly solid songwriting and mixing on this album. A near-perfect genre record. Love the cover art as well. Favorite track: Obscure Awakenings.

bakum4tsu Very good album with some fast paced black metal, along with some great melodies and riffs! This one of those that the more you listen, the more it will grow on you. Definitely a good surprise in 2023.

afcturn_ Very good offering. They've nailed the melodic style of 2nd wave. Interesting that they're Canadian as well. Don't hear much melodic style like this from that region. Production done very well, love the vocals on this album, and the riffs just kill.

about

Formed in 2017 in the frozen Rockies of Alberta Canada, Kings Rot is a three piece black metal band that blends blazing melodies with crushing aggression that yields an atmosphere of impending doom.

“At the Gates of Adversarial Darkness” is Kings Rot’s second full-length and certainly a pinnacle of their sound so far. Expanding upon their debut record, “The Shadow of the Accursed” released in 2021, Kings Rot’s sophomore release carries an onslaught of fast-paced melodic black metal with a rich and warm sound rooted in classic black metal. Kings Rot is not a band that focuses on atmospheric flourishes, but rather emphasizes riffs and melody. Dark, fast, and straight to the point, “At the Gates of Adversarial Darkness” is an album for traditional black metal fans and disciples of the riff.

Mastered by Rolando Rodas/Cavern Of Echoes and with artwork from Misanthropic-Art, “At the Gates of Adversarial Darkness” will be released on Hypnotic Dirge on CD/Digital on September 22, 2023.

A limited vinyl edition will follow in early 2024.
