Kingnomad Announce Mapping the Inner Void Due Feb. 24 – Pre-sale Starts Feb 20!

kingnomad

Swedish outfit Kingnomad made a striking impression last year with their participation in Ripple Music‘s The Second Coming of Heavy split series, bringing a classic garage-fuzz sensibility to their half of a co-release with Michigan’s BoneHawk (review here). Little surprise Ripple snapped them up for the ensuing full-length, which is titled Mapping the Inner Void and set for issue on Feb. 24, but what is kind of a surprise is the more modern presentation one finds Kingnomad working with on the newly-posted track “Nameless Cult.”

The album art — also freshly unveiled — still speaks to some retro mindset, so I’m not sure yet what the album as a whole will hold, but intrigued to find out. You can hear the cut streaming below, and if I do say so myself, it goes nicely with the PR wire info also included here for your perusal.

KINGNOMAD to release Mapping The Inner Void next month on Ripple Music | Stream and share new song ‘Nameless Cult’

Swedish psychedelic doom band Kingnomad is very much a product of the riffs that inspired them.

Initially formed in 2014 by best friends Jay and Marcus while hanging out in Jay’s studio basement jamming on Black Sabbath grooves and downing bottomless beers, the pair soon stumbled onto a riff of their own making. Over the space of one evening evolved the song ‘Lucifer Is Dead’, and with that one track followed a newfound purpose.

Setting off on a quest to forge music from the influence of hard and heavy 70s rock, psychedelic flights of fancy and the hauntingly ethereal worlds of H.P. Lovecraft, the main driving force behind Kingnomad was to have as much fun as possible. Recruiting the only two people that they knew were qualified enough to orchestrate a killer rhythm section, into the fold came Andreas on drums and Maximilian on bass.

With the quartet retreating back to Jay’s basement – newly christened the “The Room of Doom” – material flowed like a never-ending stream of occult energy. Songs were written, parts recorded and almost as if by magic they found themselves propelled forward in time, primed and ready to release what they had created. Closely courted by Ripple Music they were asked last year to contribute to Chapter III in the label’s ongoing underground series The Second Coming of Heavy, with Michigan rockers Bonehawk. And with the alchemy of creativity burning fervently in their minds, a new batch of original songs were recorded for their debut album shortly afterward.

Officially released next month via Ripple Music, Kingnomad will unleash that very album, Mapping The Inner Void, on 24 February 2017, with a pre-sale starting February 20.  In the meantime stream and share their new song ‘Nameless Cult’ here.
