KING GIANT - Southern Darkness Album Details Revealed
July 15, 2010, 14 years ago
Southern rock doomsters and bar-brawlers across the land, prepare to meet KING GIANT. This Northern Virginia/Washington DC-area quintet have been producing their infectious, soulful but nonetheless ultra-tough brew of gritty southern metal since 2006. After several years of honing their skills as a unit, the band have poured their blood and soul into their self-released debut full-length album, Southern Darkness.
The professionally produced Southern Darkness is a burly, blues-driven collection of ten whiskey-soaked King Giant originals, as well as a cover of LYNYRD SKYNYRD's 'Needle And The Spoon'; the album rounding out at a thunderous, fully entertaining 55:55 ride any fan of CORROSION OF CONFORMITY, KYUSS, CLUTCH, DOWN and other quality, groove-heavy Southern rollers will immediately latch onto.
Grab a beer and go check out three tracks from Southern Darkness, 'Solace', 'Hollow' and 'Shindig,' now at the band's MySpace page.
