Kingdom Of Giants

Established in 2010, Kingdom of Giants is an American melodic metalcore sextet known for their intensity and technical prowess. Based out of Northern California, the band attracted the attention of the metal underground with their debut album, Every Wave of Sound, and found mainstream success after signing with InVogue for 2014′s punishing Ground Culture and Sharptone ahead of the arrival of 2020′s equally punitive Passenger.
Born from the remains of another band in 2010, Kingdom of Giants’ membership consists of Julian Perez (keyboards), Max Bremer (guitars), Levi Norris (bass), Dana Willax (vocals), Red Martin (guitars), and Truman Berlin (drums). They issued their debut EP, Abominable, in January 2011. The group followed with their first proper full-length, Every Wave of Sound, which received unanimous acclaim from the underground metal press. It attracted so much attention, it provided the band with management and the opportunity to play in Europe. They signed with InVogue Records in early 2014. The group’s label debut, Ground Culture, was produced by Andreas Magnusson (Haste the Day, the Black Dahlia Murder, Fit for a King) and issued in the fall, followed by intensive touring as they headlined their own dates in the United States and Canada, as well as playing the festival stages of Europe.
After relentless touring for a year-and-a-half, Kingdom of Giants re-entered the studio. In August 2016, Willax announced a “new album” in a YouTube interview. In February 2017, InVogue issued the video for pre-release single “Damaged Goods” and followed it with “Runaway” in March, and “Tunnel Vision and “Cash Out” in April. The full-length album, All the Hell You've Got to Spare, was issued in early May. Produced, engineered, and mixed by Nick Loiacono, the set featured 11 new tracks and included guest appearances by T Cavey from Erra, Daniel Gailey from Phinehas, and vocalist Caitlyn Mae from progressive rock band Fighting the Villain. The band made a lateral move to Sharptone for their fourth long-player, Passenger. ~ Thom Jurek & James Christopher Monger
