King Bastard

King Bastard is intent on bringing new sounds to the cosmos via infectious jams, gratuitous effects, and cranked amps. Their music is an excursion into the dark recesses of gritty, sci-fi horror. King Bastard bridges the gap between the psychedelic and the sludgy aspects of the doom sphere, terraforming a new sonic landscape within.

The band independently released their debut album, “It Came from the Void,” in January 2022. Recorded by Colin Marston (Krallice, Gorguts) live from the depths of the Thousand Caves studio, the bastards channeled the works of H.R. Giger and H.P. Lovecraft through their pedalboards. Since their first release, King Bastard has evolved their sound to further emphasizes the contrast between the psychotropic and psychopathic realms of the doom metal scene, shifting from caveman riffs to swirling FX ridden harmonies.
