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-Elโ€™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 Swedenโ€™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.

โ€œItโ€™s been quite a journey to get to this point,โ€ explains Kal-Elโ€™s vocalist, Captain. โ€œWeโ€™ve listened to the record fully mastered; weโ€™ve seen the artwork come together, now all we want is for the fans to sink their teeth into it. Weโ€™re proud of his record. This is something weโ€™ve forged from interstellar witchcraft and itโ€™s ready to collect your souls.

As a brace of mass-shifting singles (โ€˜Spiralโ€™ andโ€˜Comรชtaโ€™) have showcased, the bandโ€™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, weโ€™re invited to witness the adventures of five rocketeers packing an entire careerโ€™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
