New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Razor & Tie) KYNG have released the music video for "Electric Halo"! The video was directed by Dylan Marko Bell (Youngblood Hawke, Soft Swells, Vanaprasta, etc.) and is the first music video from their new studio album Burn The Serum (Out Now via Razor & Tie).
On their second full-length album and first for Razor & Tie, the band harks back to the essence of heavy rock 'n' roll, forging thunderous percussion to lightning hot riffs driven by a divine vocal howl. At the same time, they keep their eyes wide open towards the future. KYNG find grandiosity in simplicity. The Los Angeles outfit may only boast three members - Eddie Veliz [vocals/guitar], Pepe Clarke [drums], and Tony Castaneda [bass/backup vocals] - but their collective roar could easily tip the Southern California Richter Scale. You can stream KYNG's Burn The Serum now on BLABBERMOUTH. The site also raves "as a trio, they leave no sound space unplugged and to revert to layman's terms, they kick serious ass."
Formed in 2008, KYNG broke out of the City of Angels in 2011 with the group's independent debut Trampled Sun. The album landed shining critical acclaim for its "California Heavy" sound merging the metallic meanderings of Soundgarden and Queens of the Stone Age with the timeless scope of Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin. They hit the road with everybody from The Sword and Clutch to Trivium and Megadeth—even being picked to play at Metallica's first-ever Orion Music + More festival. Loudwire raved, "a hard hitting fusion of rocking goodness," and Ultimate-Guitar added, "if they keep churning out records as good as Trampled Sun, they will be mentioned right up there with Mastodon and the like."
The Southern California rock trio is currently on the road and co-headlining a tour with Kill Devil Hill and supporting act Crobot.
