About Thy Kingdom Will Burn

Founded 2016.
Following footsteps of such bands like Rotting Christ, Moonspell, Children of Bodom, Sentenced, Dark Tranquility, Insomnium.

TKWB is 2016 formed Melodic death metal/Dark metal band from Kouvola, Finland.
Roots of the band reach as far as half way of -90 to bands vocalist, guitarist Sami Kujala's first band called "chaos breed". 2016 Sami started to re-demoing old Chaos Breed songs and the fire to start a new band was born, Sami had buried his former band Serpent Sun just while ago so the time for something new was perfect, but he needed new brothers in crime beside him so the search was on. Luckily he didn't have to look for long since he knew Lauri and Jussi from "Wirens" band where Sami had played before. Lauri recommended his friend Janne for the bass and so the band were form.

Soon four of them where already practicing old Chaos breed songs, but they decided they didn't want to stay just repeating the old songs but also wanted to write new ones and also wanted to name the band something else than Chaos breed 2.0, the answer for that found in "World of Warcraft" game commercial and with little playing with words, Thy Kingdom Will Burn was born.

2017 band did their first demo and few gigs in Finland, 2018 was time for second demo called the "unclean (expired link) (although it was just a demo..) 2019 band decided to start making a full length album and start to look a record label for its release, it didn't took long and 2020 band signed a deal with Scarlet records from Italy.

Self-titled Debut album was released in 2021, the album received good reviews all over the world, but as the world went on shutdown by corona, there where no gigs to support the record. The band didn't want to stop the movement that had started so good and they decided to start record their second album straight after their debut album was released.
Just before the recordings of the second album started Jussi and the band parted their ways, and Sami had to play all guitar parts by himself, but search for new guitarist where on and it didn't took long when Lauris brother Esa informed that he was interested for the job and so the search was over. Esa is multitalented player and had played also with Sami on many other projects so the decision where easy.
Esa did all the keyboard programmings on the album and also two guitar solos.

2022 bands second album "the void and the vengeance" was released and it presents more focused band with more powerful songs, ready for another fight, after the pandemic had passed. The album received more great reviews all over the world and showed that band are here to stay for a long run.
Since the after-burn of covid was still going on band did only few gigs in 2022, but the work continued behind the scenes, with songs for the third album and 2023 band is ready for their first European tour.

"Our aim is to make powerful, Atmospheric and melancholic music that aren't so bound to one particular style or genre. There are traces of Black metal, Melodic Death metal, and even Alternative and Hard Rock to be found in our music."
