Biography
The soul band The Majestees were formed in 1966 in Highland Park, Michigan, USA. The Vietnam draft would tear The Majestees apart in 1968, and give band member Angelo Bond fodder for his co-penned hit "Bring the Boys Home" as rendered by Freda Payne in 1971.

Majesties:
The creative centers of Obsequiae and Inexorum combine in a towering new force known as the Majesties. For those familiar with the individual tracks that make up Majesties, the sound of debut album Vast Reaches Unclaimed will be another notable addition to their respective oeuvres, reminiscent of the glory days of Wrong Again and No Fashion Records.
Majesties recall a time when Gothenburg was beginning to supplant Stockholm as the undeniable city of Swedish death metal in the minds of the international metal scene, and Majesties have that intrinsic sense of death metal's rabid intensity and effortlessly satisfying melodic ability , which spawned albums like 'The Jester Race' and its immediate ancestors, instant classics. The blend of big key melodies and twin guitar harmonies weaving through each track, the energetic riff eruptions and tortured vocals adorn in a glow of shimmering brilliance that demonstrates an intoxicating triumph.
With no hint of the corruption of style witnessed in a post-Slaughter of the Soul world, Vast Reaches Unclaimed exists as an impassioned reminder of what was and what will be again. Revitalizing the corpse of the true melodic death metal style that both divided and revived the mid-1990s death metal scene, Majesties bring it into 2023 like it never left, sounding so new and exciting as ever.
