Due to an unfortunate auto accident involving bass player Tony Castaneda, KYNG has to pull off their scheduled tour with CLUTCH, ORANGE GOBLIN, and LIONIZE. The tour - scheduled to begin on Friday March 8th, would've taken them coast to coast through April 20th - will still move forward.

This unforeseen accident sets back the band's plans for recording their sophomore follow up to Trampled Sun with producer Jim Rota and Andrew Alekel in Los Angeles this spring. Though Castenada's injury puts the band's scheduled touring plans on hiatus, they will continue working on their new album with a planned release of summer 2013.
