The album was released by the band in digital format in early 2018.<\/p>\n<p>Originally formed in 2009, BLACK CYCLONE&#8217;s sound initially channeled black metal on their Chaos Brigade (2012) and Under Your Hoof (2013) demos, eventually morphing into all-out, vintage thrash, which is displayed across Death Is King, an album stocked with surges of speed, NWOBHM-styled guitar solos, twisting power metal and the animated, sky-scraping vocals of Linus Johansson, who also handles vocal duties in TRIAL.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;After we settled on thrash metal, it all felt right and we were ready to record BLACK CYCLONE&#8217;s first album,&#8221; comments bass guitarist Per Andreasson. &#8220;The changes in style were just a result of what we wanted to play in different periods of time.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The songs on Death Is King are the result of many years of work, songs that were accordingly, re-written to suit BLACK CYCLONE&#8217;s ever-evolving sound. &#8220;Now that we have found our style, it&#8217;s time to begin this journey,&#8221; says Andreasson. &#8220;We just thought that Death Is King had a nice ring to it and it&#8217;s easy to remember. The name comes from the opening track of the album, &#8216;Death Is Crowned As King&#8217;, which we thought would be a too long name for the album title. The lyrical themes differ from song to song, everything from Cthulhu and anti-religion to anarchy and anti-establishment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Death Is King will be released on April 27, in COMPACT DISC and VINYL edition.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nSource: The Gauntlet<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/blackcycloneband\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/blackcycloneband<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gothenburg, Sweden thrashers BLACK CYCLONE have inked a deal with Gates Of Hell Records for&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-65366","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65366","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=65366"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65366\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=65366"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=65366"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=65366"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
