Band Biographies: RAUM KINGDOM

RAUM KINGDOM started out in late 2013 on the east coast of Ireland when singer Dave Lee and guitarist Andrew Colohan set out to create a soul-crushing experience of sonics. When long-time friends, bassist Ronan Connor and drummer Mark Gilchrist joined the lineup, the project was ready to express itself.

Exploring their collective passion for all heavy genres of music, the four-piece began to channel that energy into what would turn out to be RAUM KINGDOM’s first, self-titled five-track EP, self-released in April 2014. Taken unawares by the instant and positive critical response, RAUM KINGDOM‘s ability to resound with their audience comes from their heart for turning negativity into positivity and the ethos of having a blast doing what they have a passion for. To date, the band has completed numerous shows on the Euro circuit and released an EP, a split EP with Belgian group All We Expected, and their much-acclaimed debut album ‘Everything & Nothing’, a one-hour sonic journey of redemption and hope.

After the sudden and sad passing of bass player Ronan Connor in March 2021, RAUM KINGDOM wanted to release their last recordings and writings in respect of Ronan’s memory.

Their new effort is something beyond everything: emotive, melodic, atmospheric, and hypnotizing. A musical journey for our deep senses.

MONARCH will be released on January 27th by ARGONAUTA Records.
