WICKED KING WICKER - 'Borne Black' CD (WKW)
"Those who worship at the altar of all that is slow and low and heavy and sludgey and doomy and droney, you must now bow before a new lord, the duo from New York known simply as Wicked King Wicker. After three records, each heavier than the last, comes Borne Black, a sprawling black sun explosion of creepy crawly riffage, lumbering lugubrious tempos, tarpit sludge, and spaced out abstract buzz and shimmer, if you fancy Moss, Bunkur, Blue Sabbath Black Cheer, SUNNO))), Wolf Eyes, Khanate, Skullflower, Human Quena Orchestra, Monarch, Corrupted, Otesanek, Habsyll, and all the various other denizens of the inky black dronedirgedoom underworld, and have yet to hear WKW, you are in for a treat. (Aquarius). Ltd x 999 copies.

WICKED KING WICKER - 'God Is Busy... Save Yourself' CD (Cold Spring CSR125CD)
Wicked King Wicker is pure doom. Their brand of guttural expression strips away the rock n roll base and leaves nothing for the listener than the caustic reality of the darkest side of life. It is heavy, barbaric and void of hope. Wicked King Wicker has taken the power of doom metal and added noise to mix to make its point. �God Is Busy� Save Yourself� is their 6th album, and their first released outside of the U.S. Wicked King Wicker is unique, and their extreme doom stands alone as the heaviest, most brutal doom imaginable and it may take you places you don�t want to go.
WICKED KING WICKER - 'Outer Bounds Of Sound' LP (Noiseville)
For their contribution to the "Outer Bounds Of Sound" series, the black noise doomers WKW went more for out there noise for this album. Still dark as hell, this album sounds more like the after effect of trying hard to be sullen in a world that is just so peachy-keen. Brutal wall of noise doom, just in time for Armageddon! Like Blue Sabbath Black Cheer? Old Skullflower? You'll dig WKW. 300 copies made with a mylar silver 'WKW' on the front of the cover. "Outer Bounds Of Sound" is an experimental LP series from Noiseville. Each release is pressed in an edition of just 300 copies with a hand-made cover. US import.

WICKED KING WICKER - 'Wicked King Wicker' CD (Noiseville)
This is the debut CD from Wicked King Wicker, one of the most brutal doom drone bands out there today. "A serious new contender for sure in the ever expanding world of crushing slow motion ultra doom-dirge-dronemusick. Blue Sabbath Black Cheer, SUNN O))), Skullflower, Khanate, Wolf Eyes, Bunkur, etc. Any of those names get your blood boiling, then WKW just might be your favorite new band.... pounding abstract percussion, all draped over near static whitenoise buzz, weird krauty grooves, woozy metallic crawls, pulsing metallic ambience, and heavy heavy hypnotic dirgedoomdronemusick" (Aquarius). Ltd x 1000.
