Welsh metallers KING KRAKEN have unveiled details about their highly anticipated second album, “March of the Gods,” set for release on April 18, 2025. The album, featuring ten tracks, includes the powerful new single ‘Chainsaw Saviour’. Accompanying the announcement is a visually stunning music video that encapsulates the band’s signature blend of heavy riffs and infectious choruses.
‘Chainsaw Saviour’ draws inspiration from the cult classic ‘The Evil Dead’, exuding an eerie vibe reminiscent of a scene from a haunted forest. The track’s lyrics paint a vivid picture of supernatural elements, ancient curses, and impending darkness, all while maintaining a modern rock edge that appeals to fans seeking a thrilling musical experience.
The band members, including vocalist Mark Donoghue, drummer Richard Lee Mears, bassist Karl Meyer, rhythm guitarist Pete Rose, and lead guitarist Adam Healey, have been relentless in their pursuit of musical excellence. Following the success of their debut album ‘MCLXXX’, released two years ago, KING KRAKEN has been actively engaging with fans through live performances and festival appearances across the UK.
In 2023, the band captivated audiences at renowned festivals such as Call of the Wild, SOS Festival, Wildfire, and Station 18, solidifying their presence in the metal scene. Their dynamic stage presence and electrifying performances have garnered a growing fan base and opportunities to support acclaimed artists like MonsterTruck, Southof Salem, and Crowbar.
Noteworthy milestones include headlining the Station 18 Festival in May 2024, where they left a lasting impression on the audience. Subsequently, they graced the stage at the prestigious Bloodstock Open Air Festival, showcasing their musical prowess alongside industry giants like Clutch.
Following their festival successes, KING KRAKEN wasted no time in returning to the studio to work on their sophomore album, ‘March of the Gods’, under the guidance of producer Romesh Dodangoda. With the album slated for an early 2025 release, the band’s new material has already received acclaim, setting the stage for an exciting year ahead.
