King 810 released their debut LP, Memoirs Of A Murderer this past summer to an array of critical acclaim. “It’s a concept album of destruction, sex, and rebirth in blood that’s as potent as anything on the big screen…This is an animal of its own. It’s uncaged now and ready to start a revolution,” exclaimed ArtistDirect, while Revolver stated, “It’s hostile music for dire times…’Memoirs of a Murderer’ is harsh and aggressive.” The Detroit News added, “What King 810 is saying and doing is holding up a mirror to the violent reality of life in Flint… the foursome is doing for Flint what N.W.A. did for Compton, Calif., holding a light up to their city’s harsh realities for all to see.” Kerrang! raved, “This is an album as haunting as it is vicious and disturbing,” while Metal Hammer declared King 810 “…the most exciting and controversial metal band to emerge from America in a decade.” Memoirs Of A Murderer is available now via the iTunes Store, with exclusive bundles on offer at the Flint, Michigan-based band’s own store.king810.com.
Memoirs Of A Murderer is a striking and important body of work from King 810. Told in three movements, Memoirs Of A Murderer is the embodiment of David Gunn’s life within the pressure cooker of Flint, MI, fired by Gunn’s brutally honest narratives and starkly poetic lyricism. Memoirs sees Gunn confronting the violence that plagues the streets of Flint, perfectly capturing the despair that infects the lives of those who reside in the belly of the beast. Memoirs Of A Murderer is a remarkable journey through the post-millennial American wasteland, terrifying, tragic, and ultimately transcendent.
