The Killing Toke is a blackened death doom metal band with influences of folk and atmospheric black metal. Their two biggest influences are Death and Hooded Menace. A band from Panama City, Fl with two albums and the talk of maybe a third this year alone. On October 2013 the creator and guitarist vocalist Allen V. started recording The Killing Toke's first demo "Ask Not The Innkeeper For Destiny Is Thy Name". The demo was released on December 3rd 2013. The demo was over 50 minutes of music including the bonus track. It was 8 tracks long including three instrumental songs. If you download the album from bandcamp you will receive a 9th song, a bonus track called "From Beyond The Silence". A previously unreleased track from a cancelled split. Before recording the demo Allen V. recorded two tracks in September for an old school black metal nature themed split with black metal band "Saagar". The split is said to be released some time in 2014. There is a video of the second Killing Toke song called "Seasons Amongst Us". The video contains video footage from 1990's Begotten. This is that video...
The Killing Toke also released a short documentary about the making of The Killing Toke's side of the split you can watch here...
And before the first demo was released The Killing Toke made a video from the 6th song on the demo "Transformational Space" with video footage of 2013 release "The Last Days on Mars".
The Killing Toke is currently working on the 2014 release of their three to four track EP. The only track confirmed for the EP is the unreleased "Hatchet face". There is no date of the Saagar / The Killing Toke Split nor the EP or the name of the EP. Later I will review their first demo on here to talk more about that album. Check out their demo for yourself below and keep an eye out for the split and EP this year in 2014 and maybe there will be a second split on its way as well.
