17.11.2006 - Wow, time sure passes by quickly. Here is another Sam'O'waR song for you to enjoy. "Rocksteady Bebop" paints some unforgetable musical sceneries for you.

9.6.2006 - A BUNCH OF GOOD NEWS!! 15 NEW SONGS! Check out these three things metal people:

1. Metal archives have opened! King'O'waR Hidden B-sides have been digitized and put on the pages! Check out these classics from 1999, before our first release Kingowar Has Come To Kill. If you can listen to all of these 12 classics in one session you can call your self one tough metal fucker!

2. A New King'O'waR song "Warp Speed Mr Spock" added to the downloads. Check it out!

3. Sami has been making different kind of songs on his own for multiple purposes and would like you to hear these songs, not as King'O'waR songs but more as songs composed and performed by an able guitarplayer and composer. The songs display a wide variety of different styles from heavy metal to some sort of bluesy-moody-jazzy-melodic thingies, but it's all from Sami's fingers. We have named this "project" Sam'O'waR, hope you'll enjoy and have time to comment on 'em!

9.5.2006 - Greetings! Sorry guys, no new King'O'waR material for you to mosh on, but perhaps something better: Sami and his real band Status Minor have released their first demo CD. You can download all three songs from their homepage www.statusminor.com ...some hardcore King'O'waR fans out there can perhaps find something familiar in one of these songs! So now all of you go and listen and comment on the demo, thank you!

15.10.2005 - Rock on, my Metal-disciples! Now it's time to give you some new King'O'waR! Here is the first new song to be finished (there are three more already missing only vocals) and it's an Instrumental.

We are not yet sure about our approach to the vocal parts this time, you could help us and tell us what you'd like to hear this time? We have some plans, but the only thing that is certain is that it's going to be somenthing surprising!

So, enjoy "The Glory Of The Hunter" and tell us how you liked it! Cheers!

18.4.2005 - KING'O'WAR IS BACK! Finally we decided to bring King'O'waR back from a long winter-brake. We just recorded a cover song "Go West" and had just a few beers ;) Listen to the song and tell us if you liked it!?

.... Anyways, the song is completely full-proof King'O'waR, but does not tell too much of the coming album. There are some big surprises coming to you dear metal maniacs, so keep an eye on these pages!

19.8.2004 - Kingowar has kept things silent for a while, but now it's time to re-emerge from our metal-holiday.

Matti filmed a new music video for the band and this time it's something completely different! There is a new song "Black Sausage" that was recorded for a movie, and after finishing it we thought we would test our Super8 film camera and make an insane video for it.

Black sausage is a traditionall food from Tampere and you should definetely taste it if you visit the city someday. It's made of blood'n stuff, so it can be called TRUE heavy metal food!

Check out the video from Trash Video's homepages and give us some feedback about it! Thank you and enjoy Black Sausage!
