Lich King is an American thrash metal band formed in 2004 in Amherst, Massachusetts.

Lich King was formed in 2004 as a solo project by Tom Martin, and it was turned into a full band in 2009.

Lich King's songs generally have a humorous tone.

[2][3] Martin left the band in 2015 with the statement that "I solemnly pronounce thrash metal dead" due to the instability of being a touring band and the low income.
