“Silent Pendulum has released music by The Number Twelve Looks Like You, Heavy Heavy Low Low, meth., and others, and if you dig those bands (or The Dillinger Escape Plan, Botch, Converge, etc, etc), you're probably gonna like the chaotic mathcore of Koningsor's new song "The Venerable Mr. Locust." It's a killer track that'll bring you right back to this genre's early/mid 2000s heyday but sounds fresh today too.”

Watch the official music video for Koningsor's "The Venerable Mr. Locust" off of their self-titled EP, via BrooklynVegan, here:
Koningsor was formed in Austin, Texas in 2016. As the band describes it, the members were all great friends that would hang out every weekend, but were busy playing in other bands. Eventually, they began setting aside time to play music together. As new songs were being written, everyone became increasingly excited about Koningsor, and one by one, they stepped away from their other projects. By combining crushing melodies with intricate dynamic shifts, Koningsor maturely guides the listener on a journey exploring experience, influence, and experimentation. Influenced by high energy acts such as The Red Chord, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Rolo Tomassi, The No. 12 Looks Like You, Every Time I Die, Botch, and Converge, the band sets out to capture ears immediately and command attention with start-to-finish high energy performances that strengthen the bond between band and crowd. Koningsor’s goal has always been to challenge themselves to write the best music they can, supporting the metal community in Texas and across the nation while doing so.
Koningsor's "The Venerable Mr. Locust" is off of their upcoming self-titled EP, out April 16th, 2021 via Silent Pendulum Records. Pre-order the vinyl and merchandise, here.
