The Wounded Kings

The Wounded Kings were a British doom metal band. They released five albums, including two on Candlelight Records, 2014's Consolamentum and 2016's Visions in Bone.

Hailig from Dartmoor, the band began as a duo: Steve Mills and George Birch. In 2011, Sharie Neyland took over the vocals from Birch, and other band members were also added. Following two albums with Neyland singing, Birch returned.^[1] After completing their fifth album Visions in Bone, but before it was released, the band announced its breakup.^[2]
