Gold Days by King Slender
After a string of excellent EPs, King Slender have released their first full-length effort, Gold Days. Imagine if Drive Like Jehu tried to make a Portraits of Past worship record. Vicious, yet straight ahead, the band fires on all cylinders with songs that strike a focused, critical attack. Three vocalists and a two guitar onslaught with riffs that realize the urgency and depth of what makes emotional hardcore such a vital genre of music.
"In the flood of hundreds of generic sounding bands that pop up every month, including niche styles and sub-genres, the newest release from KING SLENDER is a breath of fresh air and a testament to their controlled experimentation. Their debut full length album “Gold Days” seamlessly weaves together disparate elements of the genre, blending it with showcasing the band’s impressive musical prowess and genre-defying ethos." - IDIOTEQ
