KINGS DESTROY Confirms Tour With WEEDEATER; "Mr. O" Video Released
June 18, 2015, 9 years ago
NYC stoner / doom rock unit, Kings Destroy, will take to the streets this August as direct support to bong-wielding metal legion, Weedeater. Slated to initiate on August 4th in Atlanta, Georgia, the trek will trudge its way up the east coast and back again coming to a close on August 16th in Asheville, North Carolina.
In celebration of the tour announcement, Kings Destroy has unleashed the official new video for "Mr. O". The Big Apple-centric, Josh Graham (Suspended In Light)-directed clip comes by way of the band's self-titled new full-length released last month via War Crime Recordings. Thrusting forth seven, soul-infused, lead-footed rock hymns, the record was captured and mixed by Sanford Parker (Twilight, Voivod, Eyehategod) at Studio G and mastered by Collin Jordan (Eyehategod, Wovenhand, Voivod).
With their third album in four years, Kings Destroy leaves their hardcore-laden stamp on noise rock and doom. Featuring within their groove-laden ranks guitarists Carl Porcaro and Chris Skowronski from Killing Time, vocalist Steve Murphy from Uppercut, drummer Rob Sefcik formerly of The Begotten, Uppercut, Fur and Electric Frankenstein and bassist Aaron Bumpus, Kings Destroy gets its moniker from 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... all distinct forms united in the underground.
