These days, it's ironic that rock music is as fueled as it is felled by gimmicks. Rare is the band that simply shuts up and shows up to play, sans pretense, without overthinking it and with undeniable soul. California-based band Kyng are one of those bands. Their latest album, Breathe In The Water, recorded in Texas with Machine (Lamb Of God, Clutch, Miss May I), is frontloaded with the type of impassioned vocals that erupt from the depths of the gut, unforgettable blues-soaked riffs, and pulverizing rhythmic clap. Everything about Kyng is real - what you hear is what you get.
