After a ten-year hiatus, the Danish rock ensemble TYRANTS & KINGS emerges from the shadows and into the dark on their new album, the majestic ‘Sketches For A Requiem’ – an album from a mature band with a new minimalist approach to production and songwriting, cutting to the core in its personal tales of life and death.

Sketches For A Requiem is a record with no limit to ambition or emotional scope, and filled with presence, personality and honesty, telling stories, creating images and conveying emotions. With respect for masters like Cave, Dylan and Cohen, the band grapples with the challenges of existence in an equally beautiful and bruised twilight rock music, where personal lyrics and intense melody are etched into the surface of dirty soundscapes, instrumentation and arrangements.

It rattles, rumbles, and roars, but above all, it lives and breathes.
