LISTEN TO THE EP IN ITS ENTIRETY HERE

Of Dark Kings, Decibel states: “Across its runtime, the band flexes their songwriting chops with razor-sharp melodies, relentless energy, and a deep-rooted understanding of what makes melodic death metal truly hit. Fans of Slaughter of the Soul-era At the Gates, early In Flames, and modern Arch Enemy will feel right at home in TIL THE END’s sonic assault.

“With Dark Kings, the band distills the essence of classic melodic death metal into a modern, high-impact form—balancing soaring hooks with high-speed aggression and intricate riff work. This is just the beginning for TIL THE END, but if this EP is any indication, they’re a new force worth watching.”

Formed in 2023, TIL THE END brings together an impressive lineup of seasoned musicians: vocalist Antony Hämäläinen (Nightrage, Armageddon), guitar virtuoso Kostas Sotos (Mystic Prophecy, Crystal Tears), drummer Márton Veress (Orgy, Armageddon), and bassist/rhythm guitarist Nic Svensson (Slaves For Scores).

Recorded at Swede Studios by Svensson, Dark Kings captures the essence of Scandinavian melodeath with a modern edge. “Cemetery Trees” showcases the hallmarks of the genre, including galloping percussion, melodic riffs and an anthemic chorus. Earlier singles, “Dark Kings” and “Higher and Beyond,” highlight Sotos’ penchant for killer riffs and Hämäläinen’s energetic vocals.

TIL THE END is scheduled to hold their first live performance tonight in Budapest, Hungary, at Barba Negra opening for Junkies with From The Sky.
