History
Lich King was formed in 2004 as a solo project by Tom Martin, and it was turned into a full band in 2009. The band was started to honor the thrash metal sound of the 1980s[1] and they were inspired by bands such as Slayer, D.R.I, and Exodus. Lich King's songs generally have a humorous tone.[2][3] Martin left the band in 2015 with the statement that "I solemnly pronounce thrash metal dead" due to the instability of being a touring band and the low income.[4] The band has found a new vocalist and has continued performing live and releasing new albums such as The Omniclasm in 2017.[5][6] The band has had tours in countries such as Germany, Australia, and New Zealand.[7][8]
