The King Is Blind Recording Album

And so to 2015, this year that will see The King Is Blind ascend to the throne of U.K. metal while working once more with producer Tom Donovan. TKIB is currently ensconced in Tom Donovan Studios in rural Essex recording a debut full-length, which the group described as “an involved and dark concept album.”
Vocalist Steve Tovery comments: “The Deficiencies of Man was us in the embryonic stages of our development, both musically and conceptually. What is being realized on our debut album is a post-chrysalis explosion and a fulfilment of ideas.
“It’s a complex and complete album, one that has seen us challenge ourselves to produce something outside of, and above, the norm for the heavy end of metal. It is a varied, multifaceted and aggressive concept album that, we hope, will take its place as part of the legacy of great UK metal albums.”
