Pinnick comments: “I feel like it’s been forever since we put out a new album, and I’m ready for the world to hear our latest offering. Hopefully there’s a little bit of everything that you love about KING’S X — three sides of one is the best way to describe it. The groove is with us.”
Adds Gaskill: “It’s really gonna happen! The new record is coming out soon. I’m happy to be working with the team at InsideOut/Sony Music. I’m happy with the record. I’m happy everybody gets to hear it. It’s a happy day. Or at least that’s what I’m telling myself. Hope you enjoy it.”
Tabor states: “I have a long-standing relationship with InsideOut and am so pleased that InsideOut/Sony is releasing the new KING’S X album.”

The follow-up to 2008’s “XV” saw KING’S X working with Emmy Award-winning engineer, mixer and producer Michael Parnin (RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE, Mark Lanegan) at his Blacksound Studio in California. He comments: “I am very proud of the energy and work put into this album, especially of all the different vocal performances and varied musical influences mixed together as one. In true KING’S X fashion, we had several obstacles to overcome, and it wasn’t easy but hopefully worth it to the amazing die-hard fans out there who have been waiting so patiently and to the new listeners hearing KING’S X for the first time. It’s an honest labor of love that I am excited the world finally gets to hear.”
