Today, they share new single “ 10 Cent Martyr . ” Watch the video here . “This track for us was a way to branch out from the classic metalcore style riffs and try something that feels fresh once you get deeper into the album ,” says singer Dana Willax. “I got to experiment with a lot of vocal tones on this song and I really enjoy how big the contrast is between JT and I on this track.” About the album, Willax declares, “ The last five years have been full of highs, lows, wins, losses, and roadblocks but at the end of the day we are just so happy and fortunate to continue making music that we love and to share it with anyone who cares to listen. We put our hearts and souls into this album and even though start to finish it only took us eight months, it’s feels like it’s 15 years in the making. I’m so thankful to the guys for everything they brought to the table in this process. It felt good to all be jammed into one room and hash out all our ideas in person like the good old days.” KOG will be able to test whether the new material hits live as they will hit the road with Deadlands , Holy Wars , and Night Rider this fall. The tour kicks off on November 14 in Seattle and runs through December 18 in Sacramento. All dates are below. Get tickets here . An intense urge to challenge convention has always driven Kingdom Of Giants . Their progression proved palpable across “Every Wave of Sound” [2013], “Ground Culture” [2014], “All the Hell You’ve Got to Spare” [2017], and “Passenger” [2020]. Along the way, the group shared the stage with everyone from Beartooth , Kittie , The Devil Wears Prada , and Fit For A King to Chelsea Grin and Born Of Osiris . They also earned acclaim from Outburn, Parade, New Noise Magazine, and more. In a sense, all of these moments only laid the foundation for “Usurper”. Even though the various members live scattered across the West Coast, the collective made a conscious decision to collaborate in-person. The group gathered in Long Beach, Northern California, and L as Vegas. Marking another first, Willax took the reins as producer, mixer, and mastering engineer. In the process, they managed to level up as a unit. “USURPER” TRACK LISTING: “ Respawn “ “Out Of Step” “ Reign “ “A Part Of You” (Feat.
