Danish melodic death metal titans LIVLØS today unveil their epic third full-length, the concept album The Crescent King, alongside an official video for its title track.

With The Crescent King, LIVLØS continues to deliver its punishing style of heavy grooves, forlorn melodies, and progressive musicianship, while unfolding a cosmological fantasy-inspired narrative of The Crescent King, a vivid symbol of humanity, its psyche and cyclus in the universe.

The Crescent King was produced by Jacob Bredahl (Lifesick, Eyes), mastered by Brad Boatright (Obituary, Suicide Silence, Gatecreeper, Nails), and carries artwork by Eliran Kantor (Testament, Bloodbath, Kreator, Hate Eternal).

The band states, “Our commitment to improvement extends beyond songwriting. With technical prowess, world-building, and storytelling, The Crescent King embodies years of hard work. It tells the dystopian tale of humanity’s downfall in a distant aeon. Prepare for an unforgettable experience!”

The videos for “Orbit Weaver,” “Endless Majesty,” “Usurpers,” as well as several playthrough videos and more on the album are playing at LIVLØS’ YouTube channel HERE.

The Crescent King is out today on the band’s own Noctum Productions on CD, digital, and LP in three editions – 300 on Black Vinyl, 100 on Transparent Petrol, and 100 Marble Yellow. Place orders HERE and find the album on streaming services HERE.

Since their 2014 inception, LIVLØS has proven themselves to be an ingenious force on the international death metal scene. Since the release of their deeply personal debut album Into Beyond (2018), which depicted a band in a time of heavy personal struggle, they have continued to grow – which is evident in both songwriting and technical prowess. Their second album And Then There Were None (2021), released by Napalm Records, immediately sounded darker and more ambitious, which resonated with fans and critics alike.

Following the second album’s release, LIVLØS toured extensively, including a big sold-out Copenhagen headliner, a European tour with Konvent and Implore, and a national headliner tour alongside appearances at Inferno Festival, Tallinn Music Week and not least the band’s triumphant live peak in front of 14.000 people at Copenhell in 2023.

Now, LIVLØS can finally unveil their third album, the conceptual cosmo-narrative The Crescent King. While bearing LIVLØS’ trademarks of heavy, death metallic grooves, melancholic, grandiose melodies, and progressive musicianship, the music on The Crescent King compliments the ambitious concept as far as the prog elements now standing strong alongside traits of experimental dissonance to balance the band’s ear for majestic melodies.

As on the prior releases, on our very race, homo sapiens, is also the focus of LIVLØS’ scrutiny on The Crescent King. This time, the band wished to conceive a fictional, conceptual piece throwing its gaze on the more general dispositions of the human condition, its psyche and place in the cosmic cycle of the universe. Thus, The Crescent King is a symbol of humankind in all its aspects, good and evil and in between. It is the tale of the king undertaking a journey through space and time, in which he discovers the secrets of himself and humankind. But it is also a story on how a good soul and its benevolent intentions can corrupt in the face of power, delusion and despair.
