Melbourne rockers The Ugly Kings release their stunning new single “Black Widow”,  the second track taken from their highly anticipated debut album “Darkness is My Home”, which is due for release on April 13th, 2018, via Kozmik Artifactz.

“Black Widow” is a simply sublime tune showcasing The Ugly Kings' talent perfectly, a song bowing under the the unfettered weight of the band's unique rich, dark, melancholic and twisted blues rock. Listen to “Black Widow” below.
 
The Ugly Kings are four powerhouse blues rockers, Russel Clark (Vocals), Christos Athanasias (Guitar), Nicolas Dumont (Bass) and Andy Alkemade (Drums), drawing influence from an eclectic and dynamic musical  background. They have supported Airbourne on their successful sold out east coast Australia tour in January 2017 with great reviews and Airbourne’s main man Joel O’Keefe saying of the band: “Great show! The Ugly Kings have really got their own thing going on and it rocks! I love all the dynamics, pushing and pulling and then always smashing it out. Great intensity and power”.
 
They also supported Rival Sons in 2016 on their first Australia headline side-show in Melbourne & were asked directly by Papa Roach to open for them on both their Melbourne shows in January this year. The Ugly Kings offer a powerful injection of energy and emotion to the modern rock scene, formulating what can only be described as power blues. Their unique catchy, melodic, groove driven, foot stomping rhythm and riffs lay the foundations for the deep reaching and soulful emotive vocals.
 
Having one mini-album under their belt already as well as having a full length album and single ready to be released on the Kozmik Artifactz label, they also boast an impressive collection of shows and performances for a young band.

New album “Darkness is My Home” is due for release on April 13th, 2018, and it will be available on Vinyl, CD and digital and can be pre-ordered from here.
