KING 810 JOIN TECH N9NE’S “SPECIAL EFFECTS” SPRING TOUR;

NORTH AMERICAN TREK SET TO GET UNDERWAY APRIL 8^TH,

FULL ITINERARY TO BE ANNOUNCED IN THE COMING WEEKS;

EUROPEAN LEG OF THE “PREPARE FOR HELL” WORLD TOUR UNDERWAY

Roadrunner Records’ group KING 810 have announced details of a new North American tour which will see them supporting Kansas City rapper, Tech N9ne, on his “Special Effects” spring headline tour.  The tour is set to get underway April 8^th and continue through June 3^rd with additional support from Chris Webby, Krizz Kaliko, MURS and ZUSE.  A complete detailed tour itinerary is set to be announced in the coming weeks.  For more details and ticket information please visit: www.KING810.com .

Frontman David Gunn commented, “We’ve always done whatever the fuck we wanted to do. And when you come across a cat that does whatever the fuck he wants to do as well, it’s relieving. So when Tech N9ne asked us to support him on his upcoming US tour, in true KING fashion, we said ‘les go.’”

2014 proved to be a breakout year for KING 810 as the group staked their claim over the summer on the 2014 Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival and more recently on the North American leg of Slipknot’s wildly successful “Prepare For Hell” world tour.  The band is currently overseas, having just kicked off the European leg of the “Prepare For Hell” world tour, which is set to continue through mid-February. Following its conclusion, KING 810 are scheduled to perform at Australia’s Soundwave Festival  as well as at several major European festivals including Germany’s Rock am Ring / Rock im Park , The Netherland’s Forta Rock and Austria’s Nova Rock.

Late last year KING 810 released their official video for “desperate lovers” taken from their debut album “MEMOIRS OF A MURDERER.” The video which was shot by the band themselves in their hometown of Flint, MI is streaming now on the band’s official YouTube channel.

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.

KING 810 is: David Gunn (vocals), Andrew Beal (guitar), Eugene Gill (bass) and Andrew Workman (drums)
