JULY 7, 2020 - Dallas, TX - Metalcore heavyweights Fit For A King are thrilled to announce their sixth album The Path will be released via Solid State Records on September 18, 2020. Bigger, bolder and overwhelmingly epic in scope, The Path leans harder on the "metal" side of their sound, with shredding guitar solos, while doubling down on the massive catchy choruses that propelled their fiercest fan-favorite anthems.
"In the past, we have dove into some pretty dark areas of life, with Dark Skies being the pinnacle of hopelessness," shares front man Ryan Kirby on the forthcoming album. "With 'The Path' we find our way out, and claim victory over the demons we have faced and are currently facing. This album is made to be the soundtrack for your victory over what mentally, and physically holds us back."
Like the band's 2018 mega-hit
Dark Skies, which securedcharting positions including the
#2 Hard Rock, #3 Rock, #13 Top Current Albums and
#69 on the
Billboard 200, and gave them the biggest first week in their decade-long history,
The Path was produced/mixed by
WZRD BLD, aka
Drew Fulk, who was responsible for career-making records from
Dance Gavin Dance, Motionless In White and
Bad Wolves.
Fansgot a taste of the forthcoming album earlier this year when the band released the massive rock anthem "Breaking The Mirror." The explosive and heavy-hitting single solidified their place as a band at the forefront of the rock world when it garnered close to two million streams in just over a month of release. The song isn't so much about distancing oneself from a troubled past as it is about destroying it. Musically it encompasses all of what they do best: vicious roar, melodic might, and crushing mosh parts demonstrating why this is the band to Make Breakdowns Great Again.
- The Face Of Hate
- Breaking The Mirror
- Annihilation
- The Path
- Prophet
- Locked (In My Head)
- God Of Fire
- Stockholm
- Louder Voice
- Vendetta
Even as their music is rightfully heralded as "majestic and punishing" (Revolver Magazine) "straightforward heaviness" (Metal Injection), genuine connection, fearless transparency, and an accessible relatability are the most essential elements of the band's powerful presence.
Their anthems appeal equally to anyone whose tastes were shaped and inspired by gateway bands like Slipknot and Korn or New Wave Of American Heavy Metal torchbearers like Killswitch Engage and As I Lay Dying. As important as each record in the band's catalog has been, many of their dedicated supporters first encountered them on the road, as they appeared several times on the Vans Warped Tour and alongside Ice Nine Kills, Beartooth, August Burns Red, and Whitechapel.
Fit For A King stands for triumph over adversity. This music is the soundtrack for those who muster the strength to carry on, to survive, to achieve, and to defeat all obstacles in life. Fit For A King is the perfect soundtrack for fighting through life's most painful and difficult seasons.
