Архив новостей | Русская версия
KING 810 is knocking at the door once again. The Flint, Michigan heavy music outliers will unleash their new full-length album, "La Grande Mort Or Silence Of God", on November 27. It not only serves as the band's fourth full-length offering of original new material in 18 months, but you also could call it the spiritual successor to their most-acclaimed and most-streamed 2016 second LP, "La Petite Mort Or A Conversation With God". Rather than retread the same old ground, they celebrate 10 years since the latter with another violent evolution manifested in the form of the eight tracks on "La Grande Mort Or Silence Of God".
They signal the dawn of this chapter with the release of a new single titled "Love Kills" today. Watch the video here.
A dirty riff rumbles beneath entrancing musings from KING 810 frontman David K Gunn until distortion boosts his screams over a head-nodding groove. It culminates on a chantable chorus as he proclaims, "They're in the company of ghosts. Love kills." It rolls into the embrace of a final question once he wonders, "Do you love me? Yes I do."
KING 810 sink their teeth in — and never let go on this one.
About the track, Gunn commented: "This song is about the most dangerous game us animals play — love. 'Love Kills' reveals there is no ceremonial difference between weddings and funerals. There's a type of devotion that doesn't care whether the other person is alive to receive it. That's what this song is — love that outlives the need for consent from the ultimate authority: Death."
To bring this body of work to life, the musicians — Gunn (vocals, guitar, keys),Eugene Gill (bass),John Paul Vega (drums) and Bryce Ballinger (guitar) — once again joined forces with longtime producer and creative confidant Josh Schroeder (LORNA SHORE) in Flint. The result is a brilliant and bold blood-soaked epic steeped in the lore of a Midwest forgotten by the mainstream, dark magic, and sonic subversion of the highest order, copulating metal, alternative, electronic, hip-hop, and psychedelia into a catharsis of pain, pleasure, and poetry.
Recently, the group teased the record with "Hungry Gods" at the top of the summer. Beyond amassing hundreds of thousands of streams, it picked up plugs from Lambgoat, The PRP, Brave Words, Distorted Sound and BLUNT magazine who hailed it as "dark and atmospheric."
KING 810 is also fresh off an explosive run of the U.K. and other European festivals. This fall the band will embark on their "Autumnal Rites" headline tour, with special guests GUERRILLA WARFARE, culminating in a very special live presentation of "La Petite Mort Or A Conversation With God" in its entirety for the first time ever on October 30 — Devil's Night — in Pontiac, Michigan.
