Metal, Hardcore, Indie, Rock
On February 13, the new King 810 song “take it on the chin” made its online debut, as per theprp. The nu metal group from Flint, Michigan, is presently preparing for the release of their third installment in the “Rustbelt Numetal” series. They recorded it at a recording studio this past November in front of about forty-five people. This song is the second single from that outing to be released, after “Goofer Dust,” which came out last month. “Rustbelt Numetal 3” is presently scheduled for release on March 20th.
King 810 have become notorious for music that explores the darkest corners of life in a town renowned for its crime and poverty statistics. With a sound that blends everything from crushing nu-metal riffs and twisted alt-rock, to experimental hip-hop, electronica and dark jazz, they stand alone as true originals, proudly apart from the common modern metal herd.
King 810 punctured the mainstream consciousness in 2012, when their “Midwest Monsters” EP earned them a deal with Roadrunner Records. A second EP, “Proem”, followed in 2014, and the band’s full-length debut, “Memoirs Of A Murderer”, emerged to great acclaim later that year, and secured the band significant press coverage, particularly in the UK.
King 810 have always done things their own way. In 2015, they broke new ground with digital EP “Midwest Monsters 2”: a collaboration with DJ Drama, featuring luminaries from the hip-hop world, including Freddie Gibbs, and a wholly new take on the much-abused rap/metal crossover.
