HMB´S COLLABORATION REVIEW

Welcome to the ultimate prank of the century, "The King Last" by the legendary (and totally real) band HMB! Released in the spirit of April Fools’, this album will have you questioning everything you thought you knew about metal—and history. We’ve gone full throttle, blending epic tales with heavy riffs to create something truly... unforgettable.

Track one, "The Macedonian Prince," kicks things off with a royal headbang, followed by "Battle of Issus," where you'll fight the urge to start a mosh pit in your living room. And who could forget "Kill the Pharaoh"? Don’t worry—no pharaohs were harmed in the making of this track (we think). "When Stateira Cried" is the ballad for anyone who’s ever shed a tear over historical inaccuracies, while "The Oracle in Siwa" will have you questioning your life choices as much as we questioned this album’s existence.

By the time you get to "We Are the Storm," you’ll be ready to face any weather, armed with nothing but your air guitar and a dream. And finally, "The King Last"—an ode to the fact that, much like this joke, the king will always...last?

We hope you enjoy this album as much as we enjoyed making it. Just remember, none of this is real—except for the laughs!

Happy April Fools' Day!
