For The Honor of Metal
Swedish Heavy Metal act Knights of the Realm released their self-titled debut on November 12, 2021 through Playground Music. Inspired by, and carrying the flag for classic 80s Metal, Knights of the Realm deliver a powerful collection of songs that are sure to please the most critical of music fans. The group are no strangers to the music scene, with members of Tiamat, Eclipse, and Stormen at the helm. I had the chance speak with front man Marcus Von Boisman shortly after the album’s release.
