As a condiment (and food product) they love the epic tale that is told on this album. Yeast is magical in many ways and this album shows its powers.
Favorite track: Thy Decree.
This will be my daughters first Metal Album. She at 2, attempts to growl with Kat-K'Tuss. Might give Koth a run for his money, but I might be bias.
Favorite track: Thy Decree.

Epic, majestic, triumphant opera of "king-metal" featuring seven singers from around the world. Brought to you by Keith D (Arctic Sleep, Unearthed Elf), this album was 3 years in the making.
PANDA KINGDOM tells the tale of a group of adventurers who bring a magical yeast starter to the Panda King. Legend has foretold this mystical bubbling concoction shall drastically enhance the kingdom's baked goods and fermented beverages like never before.
This is a fun, uplifting, and admittedly bizarre metal album that has one purpose... to make you feel absolutely amazing.
Join our heroic voyagers as they are granted an audience with his royal highness the benevolent Panda King, and celebrate with them in absolute majestic victory and triumphant glory!

Kindred Spirits is such a beautiful record, it's really moving, either the music moves you or the lyrics, within it all it has stunning sorrow and inside it all it remains a heavy record, Arctic Sleep's progressive doom metal sound is nailed down, what a killer sound! Darknight
A wonderful couple of songs. Would really like to hear an album based on the subject material but I will take these songs and play them on repeat. Alec Johnston
