Second Dawn, the highly anticipated second album of Perth-based doom-metal collective King Zog, is set to drop this Wednesday, July 31st via Rue Morgue Records. However, today fans can get an exclusive early listen to the entire album courtesy of Doomed & Stoned. “Their name perhaps taken ironically from the insane dictator King Zog of Albania, this Perth-based four-piece follows in the legacy of Black Sabbath infused with ‘90s-influenced heavy rock, presenting to us something extraordinary on its own terms.” Comments Doomed And Stoned editor Billy Goate. Listen to the full album stream of Second Dawn on Doomed & Stoned. Following their critically acclaimed 2017 debut, King Zog has solidified their status in the doom metal scene with relentless writing and performing. The current lineup—Daniel Durack (vocals/guitar), Connor Pitts-West (guitar), Martin Gonzalez (bass), and Sean Ryan (drums)—crafted Second Dawn during the pandemic and have been performing tirelessly since lockdowns lifted. Second Dawn promises to surpass its predecessor with its immense weight and intensity. The album features monumental riffs, seismic bass lines, and thunderous drumming, all crowned by Durack’s powerful vocal hooks. Each track, from the blistering opener “Scelestic Dusk” to the epic closer “Second Dawn,” showcases King Zog’s otherworldly strength and doom metal mastery. As Perth’s premier doom band, King Zog is gearing up to support Second Dawn with extensive touring, including headlining sold-out shows and tearing up heavy music festivals across Australia. Prepare for the onslaught of Second Dawn. King Zog is ready to unleash their might once more. |
