    Ares Kingdom Announces New Album, “By the Light of Their Destruction”
     
    July 30, 2018
    Kansas City, Missouri
     
    Kansas City’s death metal veterans Ares Kingdom have returned to their own Very Metal Sound studio to record their fourth full length album, “By the Light of Their Destruction” for the legendary NWN Productions – the band’s label home since 2004.
     
    Following up the acclaimed First World War-themed album “The Unburiable Dead” of 2015 - an album recognized by the National World War I Museum in the USA - “By the Light of Their Destruction” brings a new focus for Ares Kingdom’s sound on an altogether darker, heavier, and more obscure trajectory.
     
    What was the inspiration behind the pivot to darkness? Guitarist and songwriter Chuck Keller explained: “I was a bit worried about a direction for AK after finishing writing the ‘The Unburiable Dead,’ but one day during the summer of 2015, I was going through my Vulpecula archive and found a few forgotten and unused ideas I had been outlining before we ended the band in 1999. They reawakened the old Vulpecula fire in me and I knew it was time to go back to darkness and obscurity.”
     
    “Fourth albums are often more technical and noodling than an ordinary band’s older records and so are notoriously lacking original fire and fury. Rarely does a band in our position purposely make their approach more primitive, but for us it was the natural thing to do,” said bassist/vocalist Alex Blume.
     
    Drummer Mike Miller echoed, “While the new songs and our production style still sound like Ares Kingdom, our focus during rehearsals was on the primal power of the songs. It’s easily the heaviest material we’ve ever come up with.”
     
    “By the Light of Their Destruction” is slated for release in spring 2019 on LP, CD, PD, MC, and digital formats.
     
    Track list:
    The Hydra Void
    Burn, Antares (Scorpius Diadem)
    Dark Waters Eridanus
    Radiant and Storm
    Eighteen Degrees Beneath
    Allegory
    The Bones of All Men
    Iconologia
    A Reward for Sin
    Talis Chimera Est

    Ares Kingdom Rhythm Guitarist on Hiatus, Band to Continue as a Trio For immediate release June 17, 2015 Lee’s Summit, MO - Kansas City's death/thrash metal band Ares Kingdom has announced that rhythm guitarist Doug Overbay is taking an indefinite hiatus from the band in order to address health issues. The band is continuing as a three piece with Alex Blume - vocals/bass, Mike Miller - drums, and Chuck Keller - guitars. The line-up change will have no effect on any upcoming shows. The band is currently in post-production with their new album, "The Unburiable Dead" at their own Very Metal Sound studio in suburban Kansas City. Release is scheduled later this year through NWN! Productions in LP, Die Hard LP, CD, and picture disc formats. Ares Kingdom formed in 1996, the year following the end of Mike and Chuck's previous band Order from Chaos. AK’s first four years were spent as a two-piece. In 2000, Doug joined as bassist, followed soon by Alex as vocalist. In 2006, Doug switched to rhythm guitar while Alex assumed bass duties. The band signed to NWN! Productions in 2004 and has released two full-length albums, "Return to Dust" (2006) and "Incendiary" (2010), plus a compilation CD "Firestorms and Chaos" (2008), an album of covers entitled "Veneration" (2013), and two 12" maxi singles, “Firestorm Redemption” (2006) and “Failsafe” (2007). In addition to their upcoming third full-length, "The Unburiable Dead," the band is set to release a special live picture disc entitled "Chaosmongers Alive: 8/21/2006" as part of NWN! Productions' Onward // Ascendant warehouse fund campaign. Ares Kingdom Home Page [email protected]
