Just in time for Halloween, today 20 Buck Spin have posted a stream of The Book Of Kings – the new full-length album from Australian funeral Doom overlords MOURNFUL CONGREGATION — in its entirety, just a week before release stateside next Tuesday, November 8th. The brilliant, extensive release is being praised as some of the band’s finest epic Doom Metal to date, preceded by two decades of material that has already earned MOURNFUL CONGREGATION placement in the highest ranks of the genre.

Bask in the massive, oppressive beautiful destruction of The Book Of Kings AT THIS LOCATION.

MOURNFUL CONGREGATION‘s maiden voyage to North American shores is quickly approaching as the band prepare for their nine-show run down the West Coast late this month, which includes a headlining performance at December’s Rites Of Darkness III festival alongside Zemial, Midnight, Loss, Mortuary Drape, Sargeist, Urfaust, Tribulation, Stargazer, Anteus and dozens of incredible, international extreme metal entities.

CORONATUS – Releasing on November 18th, 2011, on Massacre Records, is the new studio album from the German Gothic Metal band Coronatus: Terra Incognita. Below is the music video for Fernes Land and I’m digging it a Metal ton. It’s those beautiful vocals from those two beautiful gals that seals the deal for me! Mareike Makosch (Alto Voice) and Lady Ada Flechtner (Rock Soprano) come across as relaxed and ultra talented with this duet. The guitar solo kicks some serious ass too.

This is one fantastic band to keep your ears out for and support! Listen and watch the music video below for Fernes Land, hopefully you might dig it as much as I do.

* The North American release date for Terra Incognita is December 6th, 2011.
