Canadian hard rockers Autumn Kings are joined by ex-Killswitch Engage, etc. vocalist Howard Jones on their newly released single, “yOunG BLoOds“. The song will appear on the group’s forthcoming new album “Epiphanies“, which is headed for a September 18th release via Hopeless Records. Weighing in on this new track and the experience of getting to work with Jones on it, the band stated:
“yOunG BLoOds speaks to the sentiment of revolution that is simmering across the world. It’s about being unafraid to call out injustice.
With all the turmoil taking hold in the world, it is important to refuse to remain silent and use our voices to stand up for what we believe in.
We had a blast making this song with the legendary Howard Jones, who we believe is one of the greatest heavy metal vocalists to ever live.
Musically, we leaned into a raw rap-meets metal-meets world music sound and then mix it up with a dramatic tempo change at the end of the song, something we haven’t done much of in the past.
This is gonna be a huge live hit and we know you’re going to be screaming along to the chorus and headbanging to the drums. We’re stoked for you to crank this one!”
