One week from the release date, we are pleased to present “Daughters Of Eve”, the opening track of QUICKSAND DREAM’s awaited second album “Beheading Tyrants”.
Featuring an evocative Van Gogh’s painting on the cover, “Beheading Tyrants” will be released on compact disc, vinyl (black and limited brown) and digital on November 18, 2016.
We are pleased to present a second track off upcoming HAMMER KING album “King Is Rising”: “Battle Gorse”.
“The King has always been a fan of Jack Finney’s 1955 novel ‘The Body Snatchers’ and of the 1978 movie version featuring Donald Sutherland, Leonard Nimoy and Jeff Goldblum”, singer Titan Fox explains, “in the song ‘Battle Gorse’ we have similar plants, but being tremendously bigger here. One of the faster paced songs on the albums and certainly quite old-school!”
In the meanwhile the first feedback on “King Is Rising” are coming in and they are quite encouraging.
“The king is swinging his hammer again with might! Absolutely great true metal material!” – Metal Only (GER), 10/10
“A respectable album in its kind and fans of the genre should definitely give it a try!” – Lords Of Metal (NL)
“Addictive and powerful! Hammer King take a step forward with this album!” – Metalbrothers (E), 8/10
“If you like your Heavy Metal epic and entertaining, don’t hesitate to check this out!” – Dioses Del Metal (E)
“A fine successor to the debut!” – White Room Reviews (NL)
“Hammer King follows the guidelines of current Epic Metal, but with influences from legendary 80s formations!” – Queens Of Steel (E)
“The King Is Rising” will be released on November 18 on compact disc, vinyl and digital.
Sixteen years after the release of “Aelin”, cult Swedish epic metal band QUICKSAND DREAM is finally ready to release their second album, “Beheading Tyrants”.
QUICKSAND DREAM is one of those bands surrounded by an aura of secrecy, its name spoken among a selected circle of fans. The strength and beauty of “Aelin”, originally released in 35 CDRs copies and repressed in 2010 by Chris Black’s own label “Planet Metal” (vinyl version on High Roller Records) , built up a loyal and strong army of devotees enchanted by the band’s unconventional and genuine offer.
Through all these years founding members Patrick Backlund (Mortalicum) and Göran Jacobson have kept the flame of QUICKSAND DREAM alive, and now with the help of Henrik Högl and Andreas Häggström are ready to release their second opus.
Adorned by Vincent Van Gogh beautiful “Autumn Landscape At Dusk” painting, “Beheading Tyrants” consists of six tracks of heavy, doom-tinged epic metal, recommended for fans of Cirith Ungol, Manilla Road, Solstice and Black Sabbath.
Cruz Del Sur Music is proud to unveil the secret upon the album and in collaboration with Decibel Magazine to present “Girl From The Island” the first track out of it.
“Beheading Tyrants” will see the light in mid November in Compact Disc, Vinyl and Digital.
