| welcome to the on-line home of wicked king wicker wkw on myspace wkw on facebook (do a search on facebook to find our page) ************************************************************************** “While there may be a plethora of sludgy doom dirge-type outfits delivering varying degrees of damage, WKW are not to be glossed over. ‘Flydust’ delivers two tracks of punishing, decayed black drones as expansive as they are devastating but if push comes to shove it’s the self-titled ‘Wicked King Wicker’ that really goes off like a neutron bomb. [8.5 rating] (Guy Strachan)" –Terrorizer magazine “Flydust is another solid slub-wall of guitar-spuzz and murk with devil-ass overtones. It is a brutal guitar piece taken to a near-Skullflower level. We shit you not.” -Arthur Magazine (Byron Coley/Thurston Moore) “This self-titled album is Wicked King Wicker's debut, with four songs of unbelievable psychedelic heaviness. Minimal and crushing, way, way zoned out, it's like this mutant spawn of Skullflower and extreme black doom, ridiculously heavy, and mega recommended to any of you that worship damaged droning. –Crucial Blast “Those who worship at the altar of all that is slow and low and heavy and sludgey and doomy and droney, you must now bow before a new lord, the duo from New York known simply as Wicked King Wicker. After three records, each heavier than the last, comes Borne Black, a sprawling black sun explosion of creepy crawly riffage, lumbering lugubrious tempos, tarpit sludge, and spaced out abstract buzz and shimmer, if you fancy Moss, Bunkur, Blue Sabbath Black Cheer, SUNNO))), Wolf Eyes, Khanate, Skullflower, Human Quena Orchestra, Monarch, Corrupted, Otesanek, Habsyll, and all the various other denizens of the inky black dronedirgedoom underworld, and have yet to hear WKW, you are in for a treat. ” –Aquarius Records WICKED KING WICKER releases are available from Aquarius Records, Crucial Blast, Forced Exposure, Hell's Headbangers Records, Cold Spring Records (UK), Kreation Records, Haunted Hotel Records, RRRecords, and many others.
