Never Machine metal, but what made their sound so special was the pinch of New Way Of British Heavy Metal that they added to their leaden style. Side B In combination with Stålvind’s haunting vocals, THE DOOMSDAY KINGDOM created an all-absorbing vortex. 01. A Spoonful Of Darkness 02. See You Tomorrow Side C “THE DOOMSDAY KINGDOM was supposed to be a solo record at first, but everything turned out to be so much more, bigger and 01. The Sceptre better than “just a solo album”. The songs took their own form and shape during the process and in the individual performances totally 02. Hand Of Hell blew me away!” explains Leif Edling. Side D 01. The Silence 02. God Particle Fans could already catch a first impression of this mixture on the band’s EP »Never Machine«, that was released in November 2016 into the darkness of autumn – however the songs ‘The Sceptre’ and ‘Never Machine’ which had already been available as demos, differ quite a lot from their album version and all tracks on this debut album deliver a more polished, but heavier and more detailed sound than the previous release. The world-famous Jens Bogren (KREATOR, SOILWORK, OPETH) took care of the album’s mastering, while the band’s own Marcus Jidell did the pro- duction wizardry and turned out to be Leif’s perfect helping hand while he was still recovering:

To illustrate their musical vision, they chose the ‘Capitolium Death Monu- ment’ that was designed by Erik Rovanperä, who had already set up the Line-up: covers of the latest CANDLEMASS releases and AVATARIUM’s »All I Want«.
