King (svk)
New Aeon
New on is the name of the third studio album by the music project King SVK. The pillars of the project are two musicians: Ivan Kral (keyboards and programming) and Norbert Ferencz (guitars). Although the album combines the speed and punch of thrash and death metal, the authors are referring to the sound of the album as "original metal". The reason behind this label is to emphasize the uniqueness of the album. This uniqueness is expressed by the name itself. New on means new era (age). A new era for Ivans music but also for the genre itself. According to King SVK, metal as a musical genre stagnates in many ways and so called pioneering groups do not come up with anything new but rather stay within their comfort zone. "This album is an expression of the effort to start a new era for the metal genre," says the founder of the project, Ivan King Kral, who also in 1998 said in claimed in public: "Metal originated in England, but it will be revived in Slovakia!"
