Darkened zapowiadają debiutancki album

Today, Edged Circle Productions announces September 11th as the international release date for the highly anticipated debut album of pan-international quintet Darkened, Kingdom of Decay.

It was but the summer of 2019 when Darkened burst onto the international stage with their debut EP for Edged Circle, Into the Blackness. Although an otherwise-brand-new entity at the time, Darkened boasted a wealth of experience in the death metal underground, comprising drummer Andy Whale (ex-Bolt Thrower / Memoriam), bassist Daryl Kahan (ex-Disma / Funebrarum), vocalist Gord Olson (Ye Goat-Herd Gods / Demisery), and guitarists Linus Nirbrant (A Canorous Quintet / This Ending) and Hempa Brynolfsson (Excruciate / Ordo Inferus). As such, the band's opening salvo was truly a sum of all its not-inconsiderable parts: all-caps DEATH METAL of a cool and cruising and above all CRUSHING aspect. Unsurprisingly, Into the Blackness garnered widespread acclaim, and heightened anticipation for the band's inevitable first full-length.

Begin hearing for yourself with the brand-new track "The Burning" HERE at Edged Circle's Bandcamp, where all editions of the album can be preordered. Aforementioned cover art and tracklisting are as follows:
