Nekobibu The black metal album I needed today. 🤘
Riffs and melody indeed.

Waldmark Still try to figure out how
But the more vividly the music
The slower the heart rate
Stranger days I’ve seen
Darker too

Sunshine on the soul
Thanks a lot !

mourner This is fast and furious - and melodic. Need to scratch that 90's Swedish melodic black metal itch? This is where you go to. Favorite track: Twilight Breath Incantation.

Astaroth Since Sarkrista's Summoners of the Wrath in 2017, no album hit me this hard! Wonderful music and especially beautiful cover art. Favorite track: Last Dance for the Eternal Flame.

bmurator Canadian Black Metal. I was attracted by the title (some kings really are rotten & some were even rotten before being crowned) & I stayed for the music! If crushing agression & a sense of dread & foreboding are your thing then look no further! Recommended!

Warangelic This album goes into my AOTY contenders for black metal. Favorite track: Twilight Breath Incantation.

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.
