Like Moths To Flames

KINGDOM OF GIANTS is poised to soar beyond “best kept secret” status and into the modern metal and post-hardcore stratosphere, with a continuously evolving sound that pushes both the band and their audience forward. While firmly rooted in classic metalcore elements familiar to fans of Killswitch Engage and As I Lay Dying, or international counterparts like Architects UK and Northlane, the six-piece California band bravely color outside the lines of the safe and predictable.

The only “constant” in the KINGDOM OF GIANTS discography is constant motion, as the group works tirelessly to ensure each album takes listeners on a rich, rewarding, and diverse journey.

“Passenger,” the band’s fourth full-length and first in partnership with SharpTone Records, arrives like a bolt of lightning, heralding a torrential downpour across a desert of cookie-cutter clutter.

The band’s ability to recreate the depth and power of their recorded compositions onstage has been demonstrated across North America and Europe, as KINGDOM OF GIANTS built a reputation as road dogs on tours with Fit For A King, As I Lay Dying, Born Of Osiris, and Phinehas.

Dana Willax and bassist Jonny Reeves share vocal duties, blending a mixture of scream-and-sing storytelling drawn from their life experiences and emotional obstacles. It’s less of a traditional metalcore screamer/clean vocalist pairing and more akin to the tradeoff in bands like blink-182, in spirit and structure if not in sound. The triple-guitar attack of Max Bremer, Red Martin, and Julian Perez saves the terrifyingly aggressive technical prowess flourishes for maximum impact, focusing instead on steady, catchy foundations that give the songs both weight and staying power.
