I&#8217;m still burnt out. But hopefully I can do it next year. And in the meantime, I would like to introduce some solo stuff I&#8217;ve been working on for some time now, and I call it The Doomsday Kingdom. And it&#8217;s a low-key thing I&#8217;m doing without any label involved. And it&#8217;s metal the way it&#8217;s supposed to be, and it&#8217;s for all of you that love this kind of music as much as I do. And I hope you will enjoy it. Every week, I will put up a new film so I properly can present The Doomsday Kingdom to everybody interested and play a few snippets from it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"625\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8cs4KDaJi9w\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"625\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fAcMez5WkzE\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"625\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/keiWD8es_Vc\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CANDLEMASS Mainman Leif Edling\u2019s THE DOOMSDAY KINGDOM Solo Project: Audio Snippet Of \u2018Zodiac City\u2019 Available For Listening March 8th, 2016 Leif Edling, bassist and songwriter for Swedish metal groups Candlemass and Avatarium, launched a solo project entitled The Doomsday Kingdom, revealing this development on February 8th, 2016.
