BLOOD OF KINGU signs with Candlelight Records

Blabbermouth.net reports: “BLOOD OF KINGU, the project forged in 2005 by Ukrainian black metal legend Roman Sayenko (HATE FOREST, DRUDKH, DARK AGES), Thurios (ASTROFAES, DRUDKH, HATE FOREST), Krechet (DRUDKH, ASTROFAES) and Yuri (DRUDKH, LUTOMYSL), has inked a deal with Candlelight Records. The band's new album, “Sun In The House Of The Scorpion”, was recorded in the autumn of 2009 and will be released later this year.

According to a press release, “the main idea behind BLOOD OF KINGU is black metal inspired by and paying homage to Sumerian, ancient Egyptian, ancient Tibetan and Indo-Aryan mythology, demonology and astronomy. BLOOD OF KINGU reflects nature and elements' power, showing the real sense of black metal (nowadays forgotten), searching for purity, knowledge and abyss. BLOOD OF KINGU's art is far removed from the world of humans and ignorant creations like politics, technology, urbanization, religious contradictions and modern hypocritical values/ideals.”

BLOOD OF KINGU's debut LP, entitled “De Occulta Philosophia”, was recorded in the summer of 2007. It represents intensive, fast and grim black metal with ritualistic melodies and real shamanistic, freezing voices.”
