Kingdom is a Polish death metal band formed in 2003,
known for their relentless and dark approach to extreme music. Over the years,
the band has built a reputation for delivering violent and uncompromising works
deeply rooted in the traditions of satanic and blasphemous death metal. With
several full-length releases already behind them, Kingdom returns under the
banner of Osmose Productions with their new
album, “Primeval Cult Of Strength In The Womb Of Suffer.”
The album
contains ten original tracks along with a cover of Deicide’s “Lunatic Of God’s
Creation.” It was recorded at Garaż Studio with
Mateusz Szulborski overseeing the process,
while the cover art was once again created by Maciej
Kamuda, staying in line with the visual style Kingdom
has established over the years.
Musically, the album is a furious assault from start to finish. The riffs are fast, violent, and crushing, supported by pounding drumming and guttural vocals that carry the essence of chaos and destruction. The songs are direct and intense, rarely exceeding four minutes, which gives them a relentless drive and sense of immediacy. Tracks like “Behold Thy Light Dying,” “Exterminatus,” and “Womb Of Suffer” strike with full force, combining aggression with dark atmospheres, while “Przedwieczny Kult Sily” and “Ruiny Ludzkosci” add a distinct Polish edge to the band’s sound.
The production captures the rawness of the music while maintaining the power necessary for this style of death metal. It is unrelenting and merciless, which fits perfectly with the themes of blasphemy, destruction, and satanic worship that dominate the lyrics. The closing Deicide cover feels natural in the flow of the album, serving as a tribute to one of the genre’s forefathers while keeping the same venomous spirit that defines Kingdom’s own material.
“Primeval
Cult Of Strength In The Womb Of Suffer” is an intense release that embodies the
essence of satanic death metal – dark, aggressive, and unyielding. It stands as
another strong chapter in the history of Kingdom and confirms their place among
the most furious bands in the underground scene.
Score: 8.0
