KYNG’S
‘TRAMPLED SUN’ DEBUT ALBUM
OUT TODAY ON REALID RECORDS/ILG
September 27,
2011 – The time has come. TRAMPLED SUN, the highly
anticipated debut album by Southern California’s KYNG--singer/songwriter/guitarist
Eddie Veliz, bassist Tony Castaneda and drummer Pepe Clarke Magaña—was
released today on REALID Records (through Warner Music Group’s
Independent Label Group). The album’s first two singles, “Falling
Down” and “Trails in Veins,” were mixed by Mike
Watts (Adelita’s Way, Hopesfall, Quicksand, Brand New).
“Falling Down”
recently debuted on the BDS Active Rock chart at #38 and is in heavy
rotation on SiriusXM’s “Octane” channel, while
“Trails In Veins” can be heard on the “Liquid
Metal” channel, thanks to the support of Program Director
Jose Mangin, who has championed KYNG since hearing early demos a
couple of years ago, some of which were played on “Octane”
before TRAMPLED SUN was even in the works. SiriusXM was instrumental
in bringing the band to what became their record label (REALID/ILG)
and managers (In De Goot, who also represents Shinedown, Chevelle
and others).
KYNG’s self-proclaimed
"California Heavy” sound is a unique and universally
appealing combination of heavy and captivating concepts, channeling
influences from Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin to Foo Fighters and
Queens of the Stone Age.
Before KYNG was a glimmer
in the trio’s eyes, bassist Tony Castaneda and drummer Pepe
Clarke Magaña were members of the Latino metal band Ankla,
which toured across the U.S. with bands such as Ill Nino, Nonpoint,
In This Moment, and Hatebreed. They were also a part of Ozzfest
in 2007.
Now that the band has
completed dates with Drowning Pool, Pop Evil and Egypt Central,
the band is launching a two-week jaunt with Wayne Static and Eye
Empire starting today. Check out KYNG at any of the following stops:
