OBSIDIAN KINGDOM have just released a cover version of the NIRVANA classic “Breed” taken from the grunge heroes sophomore album ‘Nevermind’. The track has been produced on request of Spain’s leading webzine in matters of hard music, RockZone as a contribution to the compilation ‘Bipolar Sessions #2’ on the occasion of this year’s Record Store Day.

OBSIDIAN KINGDOM comment: “As so many kids from the nineties, one of the things that made us break into playing an instrument was receiving a mixtape from the weird guy at school that featured the very best of alternative rock, from ALICE IN CHAINS to TOOL and from MARILYN MANSON to SOUNDGARDEN, which had us desperately falling in love with rock music. When RockZone offered us to participate in the second edition of their ‘Bipolar Sessions’, we felt like those kids again, and hurried back to our garage to remove the dust from our old distortion pedals. We have always had a huge penchant for NIRVANA, especially in their noisiest, and we have chosen ‘Breed’ because it is the perfect pop song with all the punk rage and teenage angst that we loved so deep back in the day.”

OBSIDIAN KINGDOM are currently working on a follow-up to their album debut ‘Mantiis’. The reissue of the album is still available on the Season of Mist shop in various formats and bundles. Artwork and tracklist are shown below.
