Kingmaker is the debut album from PINE BARRENS, following on from a very well-received demo that came out in 2010. PINE BARRENS efficiently fuse hardcore punk to black metal, among other things, to create an intense and surprisingly catchy experience. For those that care, the band features current and ex-members of Beecher, Atavist, Extinction of Mankind, The Ergon Carousel and Hammers.
