Featuring six songs of crushing, epic and mid- :: :: paced doom, Guardian Demons was recorded at DM6 Studios in :: :: Santiago and features artwork by Alec Zalogin, a close :: :: friend of the band. :: :: :: :: Comments bassist Daniel Perez Saa: "The cover painting :: :: represents the demonic menace and guardian's serenity - a :: :: figure that has two appearances depending on the point of :: :: view, but always with a sense of impending doom looming at :: :: the back. The layout and art vary for every format of the :: :: album." :: :: :: :: The follow-up to the band's 2015 self-titled album marks a :: :: first for King Heavy: vocalist Luce Veldmark joined the band :: :: in the studio instead of recording in his home country of :: :: Belgium. :: :: :: :: "This truly has been an incredible process," notes Saa. "The :: :: sound is a lot more consistent because we had Luce in the :: :: studio with us. Plus, it sounds better. Being involved in :: :: Luce's vocal recordings where we all could take part made us :: :: feel more in control over the entire process. Definitely and :: :: without a shadow of a doubt, this is the best King Heavy :: :: album to date, from the compositions to the arrangements, :: :: details and the sound. The vocal lines are our most epic :: :: yet, too. Hard to believe, but it is true! This is one hell :: :: of a performance from Luce. I highly value the work he did :: :: on his own in Europe, but undeniably, that level of :: :: enthusiasm and artistry came through the simple fact of :: :: being together - a unique situation for us." :: :: :: :: Looking to strike the perfect stylistic balance between :: :: their 2014 Horror Absoluto EP and self-titled album, Saa :: :: says the organic sound found on Guardian Demons benefits :: :: King Heavy's oftentimes complex and flowing arrangements, a :: :: trademark of the band. "The sound on Guardian Demons leans a :: :: little bit more toward 'Horror Absoluto', probably because :: :: the songs are a little more detailed this time. We wanted to :: :: create an authentic sound somewhere between pure heavy metal :: :: and classic doom." :: :: :: :: "This is doom metal in its essence: No masks, no ornaments, :: :: no vestments," states Saa. "We are looking forward to :: :: playing the new material live and demonstrating what we :: :: achieved from years of hard work. It's really exciting to :: :: take part in the album's launch and tour cycle. We hope :: :: everyone will not only enjoy the sound of the album, but the :: :: artwork as well - Alec really captured who we are as a band :: :: and what King Heavy stands for." :: :: :: :: Formed in 2012 after a chance meeting between Veldmark and :: :: Saa at the Doom Shall Rise festival in Germany, King Heavy :: :: signed to Cruz Del Sur Music in 2015. :: :: :: :: . _ _ . :: \: :. \\ ___________ . ___________ // .: :/ __\____ :: ____ ___\ _ / BERC : 2018 \ _ /___ ____ :: ____/__ \\\f3! :: \\\ __ _/_________i_________\ /___/ /// :: cRO/// \ :: :\-\___________\_ ___ / _ _/___________/-/: :: / :: | . . _ _ _/ __/ . \_ _ _ . . | :: : :::::::: | | \\\\\/ _______\____|\ \///// | | :::::::: : :: | | -\-\/____/-------------\____\/-/- | | :: :: | | \ :|: / | | :: : : | . ` ::: ' . | : : . . | : ::: : | . . | :::....:::....::: | : ::::::::::::::::: : . :::''``:::''``::: . : ::: : . ::: . .:. :
