Due to the original metal works not being usable, this one has to be redone with new test pressings, so technically this is a re-issue.

Originally formed in 2012, Kal-El’s star has been firmly in stratospheric ascension since the release of three highly sought-after albums; 'Pakal' (2012), 'Astrodoomeda' (2017) and 2020's critically acclaimed 'Witches of Mars.'

Signed to Sweden’s rising underground rock institution, Majestic Mountain Records, the Norwegian fuzz-finders released their heaviest and most complex record to date in August of 2021, 'Dark Majesty' which gained numerous placements on best-of lists across the scene's most notable platforms and garnered the coveted Norwegian Spellemann Prize nomination in the category of 'Best Metal' release for 2021.

“It’s been quite a journey to get to this point,” explains Kal-El’s vocalist, Captain. “We’ve listened to the record fully mastered; we’ve seen the artwork come together, now all we want is for the fans to sink their teeth into it. We’re proud of his record. This is something we’ve forged from interstellar witchcraft and it’s ready to collect your souls.

As a brace of mass-shifting singles (‘Spiral’ and‘ComΓͺta’) have showcased, the band’s glorious universe of sound is comprised of bass-heavy grooves, detuned guitars, and mind-warping lyrics that take the listener on a journey through a captivating stratosphere of fuzz and riffing fury. With Dark Majesty, we’re invited to witness the adventures of five rocketeers packing an entire career’s worth of ideas and sonic echoes into one, stellar mission. A mission to soundtrack the collision of passing worlds.

Both releases and all editions ship in October
