Kyng Share New Single and Video for "Haunting Visions" - Live Appearances Announced

Californian hard rockers Kyng have dropped their first new music in seven years in new single “Haunting Visions”. They are also working on material for a new release, and return to the stage at Metal Injection Festival and Louder Than Life Festival. Check out the K. Hunter Lamar and Nick Shindzielos directed video below.

The track follows the story of Private Lawrence “The Wolf” Stewart Tolbot III, who is wrestling with the idea of life as a marine ordered to take lives in war-torn territory.

Says Kyng of the track, ““Haunting Visions” is a story about a Vietnam veteran whose entire humanity was, for lack of a better word, transformed into an unrecognizable being. We jokingly claim that it’s ‘based on true events (sort of)’ because, although the mental transformation in fact happened, it’s not a visual, literal transformation as portrayed in the video. Musically, it represents where Kyng came from and where we’re going. The idea is to eliminate stigmas and preconceptions by tapping into influences that might seem unlikely to the average listener.”

Kyng live:

September 17: Metal Injection Festival – Anaheim, CA

September 21: Louder Than Life Festival – Louisville, KY
