\nRecorded at POWERWOLF’s “Studio Greywolf\u201d , \u201cKing Is Rising\u201d is once more packed with the truest Heavy Metal in this and all possible other worlds \u2013 Heavy Metal in the tradition of Iron Maiden and Judas Priest with more than a reference to German Power Metal.<\/p>\n
\n“King Is Rising” contains 12 Metal anthems literally made for live shows \u2013 with a nod towards faster paced songs compared to their debut “Kingdom Of The Hammer King”.
\nThe second chapter of the Hammer King\u2019s saga thematically centers about war and revolt, while the King’s battle stories drastically bespeak today’s global crises.
\nFor the album\u2019s artwork, the band decided to set up again a partnership with brilliant German artist Timo W\u00fcrz<\/strong> and the result speaks for itself: Timo is the kind of artist who guarantees quality in every aspect of his job!<\/p>\n
