Forgotten King's new psych/stoner/doom single "The Sun" out this Friday on Majestic Mountain Records
Forgotten King - The Sun
Thunderous psychedelic stoner and doom from Norway
Single "The Sun" out May 24, 2024
Genres: Heavy psych, stoner, doom metal
Descending from Norway armed with the twin hammers of riff and groove, Forgotten King are the heralds of a heady, heavy trip into the cosmos. What began as the solo project of Kal-El guitarist Azul Josh morphed into a now full-fledged band, and the four-piece are poised to lay waste to the heavy underground with their brand of euphoric, crushingly weighted psychedelia, stoner, and doom.
Working with Sweden’s Majestic Mountain Records, the crew fire their opening salvo with single “The Sun”.
"The music tells a story about ego, mental illness, and spirituality"
Inspired by the cautionary tale of Icarus, the band roll forward with booming low end and crashing drums, creating a momentum that never lets up underneath Azul's haunting croon and flowing guitar leads. Mesmerizing in its expansive groove, “The Sun” saves the real heat til the end, and it's a scorcher.
Forgotten King balance both the heavy and the serene with ease in their ascent to the throne, where a full length awaits its release in late July. Stay tuned for more details soon.
IN THE BAND'S OWN WORDS:
"Forgotten King is a Psychedelic Stoner Doom project from Norway which started as a solo project by Azul (Kal-El). His music tells a story about ego, mental illness, and spirituality through heavy distorted tunes and fuzzed out riffs while drawing inspiration from all that is life. The universe is us and we are the Universe."
