Leif recently released another teaser video, describing the background of the next Doomsday Kingdom track, offering an audio sample, and giving hints of things to come.

In the video update below, Leif offers up more background information on the project and offers up some new music:

In a previous message (streaming below) Leif says: "As you perhaps know, I won't be playing live with Candlemass this year, I’m still burnt out, but hopefully I can do it next year. And in the meantime, I would like to introduce some solo stuff I've been working on for some time now, and I call it The Doomsday Kingdom. And it's a low-key thing I'm doing without any label involved. And it's metal the way it's supposed to be, and it's for all of you that love this kind of music as much as I do. And I hope you will enjoy it. Every week, I will put up a new film so I properly can present The Doomsday Kingdom to everybody interested and play a few snippets from it."
