Descending from Norway armed with the twin hammers of riff and groove, Forgotten King are the heralds of a heady, heavy trip into the cosmos. What began as the solo project of Kal-El guitarist Azul Josh morphed into a now full-fledged band, and the four-piece are poised to lay waste to the heavy underground with their brand of euphoric, crushingly weighted psychedelia, stoner, and doom.

“The music tells a story about ego, mental illness, and spirituality!”

Their debut LP »The Seeker« lands September 6 on Majestic Mountain Records, and makes good on Forgotten King’s promise of gargantuan riffs and rapturous atmospherics. The band roll through six tracks of burly, quaking doom that delivers head-nodding grooves alongside heavy doses of melancholy psychedelia, creating a moving journey crowned by Azul Josh’s soaring vocals. Hulking yet emotive, »The Seeker« is on a riff-filled quest of epic proportions.

In the band’s own words:

“Forgotten King is a psychedelic stoner doom project from Norway which started as a solo project by Azul (Kal-El). His music tells a story about ego, mental illness, and spirituality through heavy distorted tunes and fuzzed out riffs while drawing inspiration from all that is life. The universe is us and we are the Universe.”

All tracks written, performed and produced by Azul Josh.
