King Dead Posts New Song Online

Pennsylvania's mostly-instrumentalists from King Dead recently undraped a brand new three-track album. After the spacious post-metal textures of the band's first demo last year, the scope of latest release, "Woe & Judgement," has expanded considerably.

With three tracks constructed to fit on two sides, King Dead pushes its way into an encompassing rumble that still seems to hold onto a human core even as it lumbers between airy doom and rawer, thoroughly-reverbed noise. Check out opening psalm "The Firmament Of Heaven Opened, And The Flood Waters Were Upon Them" below.

"We've been opening our set with this lately," said drummer Steve Truglio of the track, "and it's funny that people seem to think it's our soundcheck for the first couple minutes. Yeah, shit's gettin' pretty weird."

1. The Firmament Of Heaven Opened, And The Flood Waters Were Upon Them
2. A Monument To Decline
3. The Coward, The Thieving Liar More...
