Goblinsmoker - The King's Eternal Throne

The 5-year wait for the final part of the Toad King trilogy is nearly over. The King’s Eternal Throne is released 25^th July 2025. 

This record brings to conclusion the 'Toad King' trilogy revealing the fate of the King, which was sealed back when he first encountered the Goblin Forest. Picking up where the last instalment left off following the slaying of the ruling toad class, the world is now covered in darkness, ruled over by the Toad King and his goblin masses. 

Opening track ‘Shamanic Rites’ reveals a plan that was hatched in the shadows. The shaman seeing the opportunity to unite the chaotic rabble of goblins under one banner. The banner of the Toad King. Bestowing divine status upon him the goblin’s worship would become so feverous they would willingly sacrifice themselves to him, giving their body and ultimately their smoke. While this smoke helped the King escape his disdain for the world around him, it also weakened his mind and opened it up to influence, influence of the shaman. 

This ultimately saw the King march his army of goblins against the ruling toad class, slaying them and delivering the world to the goblins. Now the shaman’s plan has come to fruition and this is a world that belongs to the goblins, the King has served his purpose. Despite the goblins still worshipping their King as much lust and vigour as ever ‘Shamanic Rites’ sees the shaman put plans in motion to poison and ultimately kill the King, unbeknownst to his goblin subjects. ‘Goblins rose, goblins rule’. 

‘The King’s Eternal Throne’ is available on black/orange haze vinyl, as well as yellow or black cassettes. It features three tracks which tell the final chapters of this trilogy, along with a special dungeon synth rework of ‘Toad King’. The track listing is:  

1.      Shamanic Rites

2.      Burn Him

3.      The King’s Eternal Throne

4.      Toad King (Forest Synth Offering)

This record, as well as the rest of the trilogy is dedicated to the memory of founding drummer and former bassist Calum Young. Each record and cassette holds a dedication to his memory. Without him none of this would have been possible. 

Worship Him.
