Bloodstock Preview #3 - King Leviathan

Origin: Brighton, UK

Genre: Blackened Thrash Metal

Recent Releases: Paean Heretica -2017 (available via BandCamp / or Infernum Records)

For fans of: (old) Opeth/Aura Noir/Celtic Frost/Bathory

The third segment of my Bloodstock preview series centres on Brighton’s own King Leviathan, how such a sunny, cheerful seaside town and popular weekend away destination managed to spawn such a dark, occult worshipping band will forever remain a mystery. 

What is clear however is that King Leviathan are a band that blend punishing harsh growls and monstrous riffs with haunting atmospheric moments of cleanly sung clarity almost reminiscent of Deliverance era Opeth mixed with the relentless attack of proto-black metal such as Hellhammer, Bathory and early Sodom. 

Having graced the New Blood Stage in 2015 and several years successfully touring with the cream of the UK’s underground (Abhorrent Decimation, Wretched Soul, Venom Inc., Onslaught among others), unfortunately, Bloodstock 2018 looks set to be one of King Leviathan’s final shows as after one last home town gig at Mammothfest in October and a string of UK shows the band plan on taking an indefinite hiatus to pursue individual projects. 

King Leviathan are slated to bring their unique shade of darkness one last time to Catton Hall on Sunday 12th August on the Sophie Lancaster Stage and is not a show to be missed.

Cool day down in #Brighton playing for the #Mammothfest and #jackhammer crew. Was a blast hanging out with everyone and getting to see #krysthla again and meeting #kingleviathan. Thanks for having us down, and can't wait to go back.

Managed to see @kingleviathanband tonight in Wellingborough and I was not at all disappointed!

Well done again boys fucking crushing! #SedgenSean5eva #KingLeviathan #Denigrata #KRIEGAF

Oh please, my kind heals quickly. I meant metaphorically.

"You’ve got it bad for Crowley-" he names the only demon he knows other than Adramelekh, a vicious grin growing on his lips. "-And you’re tearing up hell and earth to try and find him! Oh my god."

Well, I'm ALWAYS in the mood for a meal, as you well know.

[text] God's a deadbeat dad, anyway. I'm fairly sure no one gives a rat's ass about him anymore, especially his own creations.

[text] well, you know what they say -- practice makes perfect.
