Brooklyn
Stoner rock/doom unit
KINGS DESTROY will unleash a brand new studio offering on May 5th. The self-titled monster and follow-up to last year's critically-lauded A Time Of Hunting full-length was produced and mixed by Sanford Parker (
Twilight, Voivod,
Eyehategod,
Yob etc.) at Studio G in Brooklyn, mastered by Collin Jordan (
Eyehategod,
Indian, Wovenhand, Voivod etc.) at The
Boiler Room in Chicago and delivers
Seven, lead-footed doom rock hymns.
With their third album in four years,
KINGS DESTROY leave their hardcore-born stamp on noise rock and doom. After sharing stages with
Pentagram,
Winter,
Saint Vitus, Church of
Misery,
Yob,
Pallbearer, Vista Chino,
Orange Goblin, Trouble,
Acid King,
Corrosion Of Conformity and so many others, the five-piece stand tall with their
defining statement. Championed
Yob guitarist/vocalist Mike Scheidt, "It's a great album. Heavy, yes. Doom? Yes, with a dose of the best of the '90s. I'm a fan of the '90s," he further elaborates, "so that is meant as a compliment. But what is best about
KINGS DESTROY is that they write good songs.
Helmet meets early
Queens Of The Stone Age meets Kyuss/Unida, roughly. [Steve] Murphy's vocals are strong and really steps up what is already killer. Great production, tones, performances." Adds Pentagram's Bobby Liebling, "KINGS DESTROY is some heavy shit. I can feel the emotion. I can tell Murphy
HAS got some serious
Pain; he's singing from his balls."

KINGS DESTROY is the name of an infamous graffiti
Gang from
The Bronx circa late '70s/early '80s. The band members met in this vicinity and were heavily involved in the New York
Hardcore scene of the late '80s that merged
Hardcore music,
Metal, graffiti and hip hop. The band unites musicians from many of the genres' most prolific bands. Hailing from the Greenpoint section of Brooklyn,
KINGS DESTROY features guitarists Carl Porcaro and Chris Skowronski from legendary, 100K album selling Killing Time, vocalist Steve Murphy from
Uppercut, drummer Rob Sefcik formerly of The Begotten,
Uppercut, Fur and Electric Frankenstein and bassist Aaron Bumpus. Applauded for channeling "...Sabbath's grooves, Sleep's foggy haze, and Yob's oppressive
Thunder," by The Village
Voice,
King DESTROY's distinct sonic brew is at once crushing and cathartic.
Kings Destroy will be released on LP, CD and digitally on May 5th, 2015 via War Crime Recordings. CD preorders are currently available
