Obsidian Kingdom Gearing Up To Record New Album

Spain’s progressive metal outfit Obsidian Kingdom has announced the band is entering the studio to record the follow-up to debut album "Mantiis" this summer. Obsidian Kingdom comments:

"Our sophomore full-length is finally written. We will start recording at Orgone Studios in London with Jaime Gómez Arellano as producer before the end of summer; and it will be out on Season of Mist in 2016.

"We just wanted you to know that we can hardly wait for you to experience our new songs. We kindly ask you to give a warm welcome to our new, young and talented members: Seerborn Ape Tot on guitars and Om Rex Orale on bass. You will meet them both in person before soon. Enjoy the last days of summer."

To celebrate the album announcement, the band has released a video showcasing a special "Drone Set" performance featuring Brunetto on "BCNmp7. Metal·lúrgies." This clip was recorded at Centre de Cultura Contemporània in Barcelona on June 4th, and can be viewed below.

The band comments: "Aside from our studio production, we combine our 'rock band' aspect with the 'Obsidian Kingdom Drone Set' effort; an ephemeral live project focused on impromptu and sonic experimentation. Through active listening and an exclusively live approach, we amalgamate drone, noise, ambient music and video projections to display a unique and surrounding audiovisual live experience.

"In these sessions, which sporadically take place in little venues or art galleries, the performers rethink their connection with their instruments, deepening their sonic possibilities through an unorthodox use, while supported by the heavy application of pedal effects. All of this is organically entwined with the work of a video artist, who arranges and screens video fragments from the other side of the stage, and becomes one more member of our avant-garde jam sessions."
