Listen below and you'll see what I mean. Pick up "Your Itinerary" ASAP!
Deathcore legends King Conquer are back at it again with the release of "1776". Expect heavy hitting goodness, absolute brutality, and a layer of political themes on top of it all. This highly anticipated record will be opening a storm of mosh everywhere today! Get with it!
Fear not King Conquer fans, the day is slowly approaching. The long awaited "1776" will be released through Mediaskare Records on June 11 after much speculation.
The heavy band has been featured a lot at The Circle Pit and for good reason. King Conquer brings an earthquake inducing heavy that blows most of their Deathcore competition away. Singles "A Day Late and A Dollar Short" and "Novus Ordo Seclorum" off the upcoming album have both been well received. They have garnered over 10,000 views for each single and prove why they are continually pushing for the spotlight.
Preorders for "1776" have been put up here on the band's merch site. There are bundles of goodies for any avid King Conquer lover. So go ahead, rejoice in the fact there's only a few more months to go before this epic album.
King Conquer has pretty much been on tour all year.
Going from one tour to another with no plans of stopping their takeover.
The Decrepit Youth Tour starts April 5 in Georgia and ends April 21 in
Florida.
Joining
the grueling metal group are Surrounded by Monsters, Deserters, and
Sessions. Having all four of these acts is sure to leave a path of
destruction in the venues they play.
While Sessions has more of a
groove metal vibe, they still hold up against the heavier bands. Each
has their own version of heavy and executes it well. Having diversity in
a lineup is always exciting anyways.
Don't
miss this tour if it happens to swing by your city. I'm a little upset
that it's not coming near me at all so go mosh extra hard for me if you
go! Dates are below \m/
After reaching a noteworthy 40,000 likes on Facebook, grueling death metal band King Conquer released another single from their highly anticipated upcoming album "1776" on Monday. The track titled "Novus Ordo Seclorum" was put up on the band's Facebook page as soon as they hit the milestone.
"Novus Ordo Seclorum" translates to "new order of the ages" and the lyrics pack a powerful message. King Conquer takes a political stance in the track and claims that the change that the US was promised was never delivered. While being lyrically promising, the single is full of insane gutturals and mosh worthy breakdowns that King Conquer is known for.
Of course, it wouldn't be King Conquer without bass drops that make you want to donkey kick some poor kid in the face and "Novus Ordo Seclorum" brings the heavy. Hopefully we can stop being teased and "1776" will be released soon. The anticipation is killing me.
There's a bar on Main Street here in Buffalo by the name of
Broadway Joe's that local promotion company New Hope Buffalo Booking
hosts most of its shows at. The venue is small, cramped, and generally
frowned upon by many people in the local music scene whether they admit
it outright or not.
However, the normally sparse bar filled up with
around 130 people on Monday night when King Conquer, The Last Ten
Seconds Of Life, Adaliah, and Sworn In brought the heaviest music
Broadway Joe's has heard in a while.
After inclement weather forced The Eat Your Heart
Out Festival in Poughkeepsie, NY to be cancelled this past weekend,
these four hard hitting metal bands were ready to hit the stage and
perform with an intense energy no matter the crowd size. The intense
hate moshing, two stepping, and mic grabbing that the crowd engaged in
only amped the bands up more and made the show one of the most
successful ones New Hope Buffalo Booking has ever had.
Adaliah, Sworn In, and The Last Ten Seconds of Life
were refreshing to listen to and each band brought their own unique
twist within the breakdowns and bass drops. Illinois based band Sworn In
captured the majority of the crowd's attention performing tracks such
as "Apex" and "Letdown" from their latest EP Start/End (available for
free online). Their new single "Three Cheers" received a resounding roar
of approval from the crowd when their vocalist showcased his gutturals
as he prowled on stage, stomping with every crash of cymbals. All of the
members had a fantastic stage presence and were my favorite national
opener of the night.
While
the opening acts held their own, nobody could compare to King Conquer.
With 35,000 likes on Facebook, this Deathcore band deserves way more.
Their songs are technical and well produced on recordings but hearing
them live is a whole new experience. Seeing the passion on vocalist
James Mislow's face as he growls is mesmerizing. He focuses and puts
both his brain and his heart into performing with his equally talented
band. King Conquer performed "Wasted Potential" and "Extinguisher" off
their full length album America's Most Haunted. New singles "Tyranny"
and "A Day Late and A Dollar Short" from their upcoming album 1776 were
also on the set list and pleased the audience to where they chanted for
an encore.
Local bands Deliver The Fallout, Scenery With Solace, and Through The
Hourglass had the honor of sharing the stage with the bands and did
well. However, Through The Hourglass delivered the most energetic set
with vocalist Derek Bajdas utilizing every square inch of the stage and
calling up other local vocalists for "Colors" and "Ifuxwitit". Seeing so
many people support these locals and cheer them on was heartwarming
and exemplified the need to focus on hometown acts and preservation of
the scene.
The Eat Your Heart Out Tour will continue through February 26, concluding in King Conquer's home state of Florida.
It seems that recently there's more and more music from all genres coming out and criticizing governmental powers and the hypocrisy behind them. The brand new King Conquer single is no exception. The premiere Deathcore act dropped just dropped the single "A Day Late... And A Dollar Short". It hits hard with a mosh worthy sound a condemning message to boot. You can watch the lyric video and check out some new artwork (presumably for a new album / EP entitled "1776") below.
King Conquer will also be heading out on tour very soon with The Last Ten Seconds Of Life, Sworn In, and Adaliah. If this sounds like a good time to you, go grab some tickets!
What's up Canada!? There's a heavy as hell, mosh worthy tour headed your way and we're here to warn you! King Conquer is currently on tour with Thick As Blood and Delusions. But after that, they're setting out with Aegaeon, Legion, and The Last Ten Seconds of Life to wreak havoc north of the border on the "Damned Bloods" tour! I hope the venues have been paying insurance cause these shows will wreck places. If this sounds like a good time to you, check out the flyer and the heavy music below.
