New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ ABC Public Relations) The time has come. TRAMPLED SUN, the highly anticipated debut album by Southern California�s KYNG--singer/songwriter/guitarist Eddie Veliz, bassist Tony Castaneda and drummer Pepe Clarke Maga�a�was released today on REALID Records (through Warner
Music Group�s Independent Label Group). The album�s first two singles, �Falling Down� and �Trails in Veins,� were mixed by Mike Watts (Adelita�s Way, Hopesfall, Quicksand,
Brand New).
�Falling Down� recently debuted on the BDS Active Rock chart at #38 and is in heavy rotation on SiriusXM�s �Octane� channel, while �Trails In Veins� can be heard on the �Liquid Metal� channel, thanks to the support of Program
Director Jose Mangin, who has championed KYNG since hearing early demos a couple of years ago, some of which were played on �Octane� before TRAMPLED SUN was even in the works. SiriusXM was instrumental in bringing the band to what became their record label (REALID/ILG) and managers (In De Goot, who also represents Shinedown,
Chevelle and others).
KYNG�s self-proclaimed "California Heavy� sound is a unique and universally appealing combination of heavy and captivating concepts, channeling influences from
Black Sabbath,
Led Zeppelin to
Foo Fighters and Queens of the Stone Age.
Before KYNG was a glimmer in the trio�s eyes, bassist Tony Castaneda and drummer Pepe Clarke Maga�a were members of the
Latino metal band Ankla, which toured across the U.S. with bands such as Ill Nino, Nonpoint, In This Moment, and Hatebreed. They were also a part of Ozzfest in 2007.
Now that the band has completed dates with Drowning Pool,
Pop Evil and Egypt Central, the band is launching a two-week jaunt with Wayne Static and Eye
Empire starting today. Check out KYNG at any of the following stops:
