With a majority of KINGS DESTROY members possessing a NYHC union cards, the last thing the otherwise uninformed might assume about "And the Rest will Surely Perish" is how just how much of a quintessential blues-based, classic doom metal album it is. It's not sludgy or atmospheric, nor is it some ki...January 11, 2011
