King 810 announce vinyl pressing of their EP “Queen”

King 810 has issued their 2017 EP “Queen” on vinyl for the first time, as per theprp. The production was handled by Josh Schroeder, known for his work with Lorna Shore and Signs Of The Swarm.

The band’s vocalist, David Gunn, characterized the EP as “Five slow songs about five fast women.” A limited edition of 200 copies has been made available for purchase through king810.com.

An entirely new collection of material from the Flint, Michigan-based alternative metal band is imminent, with a release date scheduled for November 27th for their upcoming studio album, titled “La Grande Mort Or Silence Of God.”

“La Grande Mort or Silence of God” serves as the sister record to 2016’s critically acclaimed sophomore work “La Petite Mort or A Conversation With God”, both celebrating the album’s legacy and continuing its harrowing, heartbreaking and brutally honest story.

“La Petite Mort” broke new ground for both King 810 and heavy music. It represents the real life violence and despair linked to the band’s home of Flint, Michigan, and the steady desensitisation of the human spirit when facing it head-on. That concept has darkness, desperation and intense intimacy in its orbit, portrayed with a blend of spoken word, industrial tones, metallic density and raw authenticity that earned the record widespread critical praise.

A decade on from its release and recorded alongside longtime collaborator Josh Schroeder (Lorna Shore, Frozen Soul, Varials), “La Grande Mort” is a violent evolution that re-examines its counterparts themes through a now rusted lens. Its visceral and unrelenting landscape has come into focus once again for the next chapter of the story.

Speaking on the new album’s inspiration, Gunn shares:
“Ten years ago, we explored ‘the little death’ – a phrase the French use to describe orgasm – in a sexually charged body of work. This year, we experience the silence of God. The little death was only a rehearsal for the big death.

“La Grande Mort or Silence of God” will be available on various physical formats and across all major streaming platforms. For more information, head to the band’s website here.
