Kingdom Of Giants will have their new record “Usurper” out on November 13th via SharpTone Records. The melodic metalcore outfit have newly been joined by JT Gutierrez on bass and clean vocals on this album, having announced him as Jonny Reeves‘ replacement earlier this year. Below you can check out a music video for the album’s latest single “Reign“, which their own vocalist Dana Willax directed. Willax also took on producing this new album — a first for the band.
Willax stated of the record:
“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.”
As for “Reign“, he added, “This song has a couple of my favorite parts from the entire record, the breakdown in particular was very fun to mix and I’m hoping it hits live.”
