Kingsblood's A King Reborn EP now due May 17, 2012. New Track, "A Warriors Past," Previewed

Kingsblood's long-awaited EP, A King Reborn, was originally due for release on April 15, coinciding with their show with Skeletonwitch. Pushed back just a bit due to unforeseen delays, the new date, May 17, coincides with an opening slot with Watain at the Alrosa Villa in Columbus, Ohio. While I won't be able to make that show, their EP is one I have been anticipating ever since seeing them open the Jungle Rot/Immolation gig in 2011.

Kingsblood were determined, however, not to let their fans go away empty-handed on 4/15 and had a two-song pre-press demo preview of A King Reborn available at their most recent appearance. Comprised of "A Warriors Past" and "The Creature from the Black Forest," it is absolutely full of promise and sets my hopes even higher for the full EP. The band has also made both tracks available on Soundcloud ("The Creature from the Black Forest" hit the blog on February 23rd). Dig "A Warriors Past" below (and, while you're waiting for A King Reborn, be sure to follow the band on Facebook).
