August 23, 2018 – Dallas, TX – With just a few weeks until their latest LP drops, Fit For A King are premiering a brand new single today with Heavy Consequence, calling it a “scorching track.””To put it simply, Oblivion is a story about a man’s search for forgiveness…It’s one of the more emotional songs on the album.” shares vocalist Ryan Kirby. Check out the heavy-hitting single,here.
On the inspiration and message behind this latest single, Kirby shared with Heavy Consequence that”The lyrics in this track were inspired by a fan (who wishes to remain anonymous), who had done some hurtful things to people he loved. He felt he was beyond forgiving, though he desired it deeply and wanted to make things right. The chorus, ‘Tell me I won’t be forgotten’ is his cry to God to not abandon him, to give him peace.” The track starts off with a hypnotizing version of these lyrics before diving into the urgent percussion and riffs that propel this story forward and showcase the versatility of the band.
“Oblivion” joins previously released singles “When Everything Means Nothing,” “Tower of Pain,” “The Price Of Agony” and“Backbreaker” which have all seen incredible streaming success including adds to Spotify’s New Core and Kickass Metalplaylists. These tracks help make up the upcoming LP Dark Skies, which was recorded, produced and mixed by the legendary Drew Fulk (I Prevail, Motionless In White, Memphis May Fire) and is set to be released on September 14th with Solid State Records.

Fit For A King cherishes unwavering honesty. Even under Dark Skies.

Fit For A King was built with bootstrap ethics and do-it-yourself vigor. On the strength of self-released material, the group joined Solid State for a string of successful albums that connected with the downtrodden and dispossessed. Creation/Destruction (2013) debuted at Number 6 on the Hard Rock chart. Slave to Nothing (2014) cracked the Top 50 of Billboard’s Top Current Albums. Deathgrip (2016) climbed to Number 5 among Hard Rock Albums. Now, with the band’s forthcoming release, Dark Skies, on the way, Fit For A King is looking to, once again, dominate the hard rock/metalcore scene through a collection of diverse anthems powered by the undeniable weight of truth-telling emotional vulnerability.
Fit For A King is Ryan Kirby (vocals), Bobby Lynge (guitar), Jared Easterling (drums), and Ryan “Tuck” O’Leary (bass/vocals).
