The Underking: Transatlantic duo……

Tweet

The Underking is a transatlantic metal duo mixing metalcore, NWOBHM and thrash based in Nottingham and Arizona!  Became a band last year and starting as the solo endeavor of Maxwell Jeffries (previously of Rage Cave), the project soon began to broaden in scope. After enlisting the vocal talents of Dustin Burmeister – the Nottingham/Arizona based Underking began recording their debut project. The Throne – an unapologetic nod to his heroes with a riff-laden, NWOBHM inspired sound and tight, catchy hooks – written and recorded entirely by himself! The track again sees the producing talents of Adam Buckley come into play.

With Ghosts Of The Past focusing on a classic heavy metal, Black Sabbath/Judas Priest influenced sound (sung by Maxwell Jeffries) and Amongst The Dead drawing inspiration from groups such as Kvelertak, Megadeth and Pantera (sung by Dustin Burmeister) – the full force of Underking’s influences is present in their diverse sound with songs ranging from NWOBHM riff-fests to hardcore inspired sledgehammers. Also featured on the project is the producing talents of both Adam Buckley and Andrew Thompson, with Harvey Magher of Rainless contributing two guest guitar solos to the tracks Lost Souls and Deadman.

Whilst unannounced to the general public, The Mas releases in late July seeing Maxwell Jeffries take a more doom influenced approach with some of his best vocals put to tape and an incendiary thrash section! The track Hexed,
