Daily Reminders Review + 5 Songs That Made Me A Metalhead

Norway’s Kingseeker kicked off 2022 with the release of their debut album, Daily Reminders. Opening with the title track, Daily Reminders starts out with a calm, dreamy like atmosphere that feels like an awakening. The tide changes quickly though, with instrumentals that come crashing in like a dark, transformative wave.
