PREMIERE: King Slayer – Acid Throne

We here at Distorted Sound are pleased to premiere the brand new song from ACID THRONE!

The new song, titled King Slayer, is the brand new single from the Norwich-based doom/sludge metal band and is taken from their upcoming debut album, Kingdom’s Death. We’re delighted to give the new single its official premiere.

Speaking about the new song, the band tells us, “since day one, ACID THRONE has drawn from a wide pool of influences & while our demo included a small handful of songs with a distinctly doom-oriented sound, we always wanted to push things further with our debut full length.

As a band with arguably misanthropic and anti-establishment views, we wanted to make a record that conveyed the often overwhelming feelings of anger and despair that result from living in the 21st century. In order to do this & pay homage to our roots in the underground punk & heavy metal scenes, we took elements of doom, black metal, death metal and hardcore, and used them to create Kingdom’s Death – our soundtrack to the coming apocalypse.

Our first single, King Slayer, is an unashamed middle-finger to the British monarchy and the tyrannical power structures that have existed for centuries across the world. While we don’t consider ourselves to be an overtly political band, the rise and fall of empires is a recurring theme in our music and the issues discussed in this song were the inspiration behind the album title and artwork.”
