The Doomsday Kingdom - Share Lyric Video


Just recently, The Doomsday Kingdom announced the release of their debut demo EP, Never Machine, via Nuclear Blast on November 25th. And now this new doom metal band led by mastermind Leif Edling (Candlemass, Avatarium) is showcasing one of their songs. If you are curious about the group, check out "The Sceptre" below for a first impression.




"'The Sceptre' is one of the first songs I wrote for The Doomsday Kingdom," mastermind Leif Edling remembers. "It is pretty aggressive with several cool riffs thrown in and definitely in an old school metal vein! I'm a huge fan of both NWOBHM and its American counterpart, so it was very enjoyable to see the track come together in such a good way. This is of course the demo version, and I must say that the album track is even harder and also a bit more arranged with a couple of nice guitar harmonies here and there and also a mellotron!"

But Leif also explains the story behind the 7 minute long journey: "The song is about the perpetual war between the red and the black queen in some kind of fairy tale world. The red queen rides on a rat and her black twin has been turned into a swan through sorcery several hundred years earlier. They battle over a sceptre that gives the heir obsolete reign in the kingdom, but of course nobody manages to win the war before the sun goes down, and everything starts all over again at sunrise the next day."
