A second Friday Freebie comes straight out of Helsinki, Finland and rocks its way into your soul! We’re talking about KING OF NONE and their smashing IN THE REALM record. Out on Argonauta Records, the nine tracks manage to mash most of the genres that run through the Heavy Underground into one majestic bowl of rock! This is one to guzzle and savor! Kippis!
Or as JC Cansdale-Cook (The MotorFuzzin’ Ibex) wrote for the April Doom Charts: “If ‘Low’n’Slow’ does not find itself living in your car stereo rent free for all eternity you need a better car – one that can handle its immense horsepower! You’d be forgiven for believing In The Realm to be born from molten asphalt on a stretch of two-lane blacktop somewhere between Denver and Las Vegas, for so sunbaked is its lifeforce simply lurking in its periphery will fuel you up for several lifetimes. Alas, KING OF NONE hail from the land of a thousand lakes and have raised the banner for their scene for a decade now; such experience speaks volumes on their first outing since 2019’s Weightless Waters, embarking on an epic thrill ride imbued with such tremendous solar power the likes of ‘Thousand Light Year Stare’, ‘Snail Trail’ and ‘The Man Who Bought The Multiverse’ leave a blazing trail in their wake! These riffs are groovy as all hell, and the power behind Miiro Kärki’s voice can stand pillar to pillar with genre’s greats. So buckle up, for this speedster is about to go to Mars, dudes!”
Frazer Jones (Desert Psychlist) wrote: “These Finns mix of accessible stoner metal and desert rock is nectar for the ears.”
Their own words: “In the Realm’ is our most ambitious undertaking yet, bringing you nine tracks of our most well-crafted riffs, melodies and mayhem. The production process was lengthy and difficult, and also challenged us to go further than ever before, taking our sounds to new heights. The end result is something we’re immensely proud of.”
Red House Production: “King Of None is a ‘riff-worshipping’ stoner rock group from Helsinki, Finland, formed in 2013. Their signature sound fuses heavy riffs and raspy vocals with progressive elements and psychedelic soundscapes. For fans of: Greenleaf, Kyuss, Firebird, Nebula, Acrimony, The Atomic Bitchwax, Dozer, The Vintage Caravan, Fu Manchu, Truckfighters & Lowrider.”
