KING APATHY are back with their third album and the first one after having changed their band name from THRÄNENKIND. The album, entitled “Wounds”, is set to be released on February 22nd, 2019 via Lifeforce Records. Preorder starts December 14th.
Having released two albums under the name of Thränenkind – “The Elk” (2013) and “King Apathy” (2016) – “Wounds” is the first full-length album under the new bandname.
The songs of KING APATHY are still the kind of music for which the band is known and appreciated. They still draw their inspirations from a lot of different genres such as melodic metal, post black metal, doom, neo-crust, post rock, shoegaze and hardcore punk. Nevertheless the new album “Wounds” is more complex than its predecessors and you will have to listen several times before all its secrets are revealed.
The atmosphere is dark and oppressive. On the surface it’s not a “violent” album, but the songs have an intense after-effect. They will leave you restless and will haunt you for quite some time.

“Wounds” tracklist:
01. Civilization Kills
02. The Scars of the Land
03. Cleansing
04. Great Depression
05. Revelation Time

BIOGRAPHY
KING APATHY is a melodic Metal band from Germany.
Everyone knows that we are destroying the earth, but hardly anyone fights against this blatant injustice. Plain and simple: a KING called APATHY rules our everyday life. The musicians share interests in the ideas of environmentalism, anarchism and veganism and are criticizing capitalism in general.
In their lyrics KING APATHY are exploring the relationship between humanity and nature, environmental ethics, interpersonal relations and (post)modern life in general. You can feel their humility and sincerity - both in their lyrics and their music.
KING APATHY came to be in 2007 near Munich in the South of Germany under the name of Thränenkind. After ten years of existence the band changed its name to KING APATHY to make a statement about modern life on this planet.
We all are ruled by a KING called "APATHY".
