Fit For A King announce new album “The Path”

Posted on by Andrew Sorensen

Dallas based metalcore band, Fit For A King, is slated to release their sixth album “The Path” on September 18, through Solid State Records via Spotify and Apple Music.

Placing a greater emphasis on guitar solos and choruses, they are focusing more on what fans loved most about their previous albums.

Frontman Ryan Kirby says the band was inspired by their struggles with mental health, saying that this album is focusing on them fighting their way out.

“With ‘the path’ we find our way out, and claim victory over our demons we have faced and are currently facing.

“This album is made to be the soundtrack for your victory over what mentally and physically holds us back,” says Mr Kirby.

Releasing a single from their album, “Breaking the Mirror”, the single gained close to two million streams in just a month over release.

The main focus of the song is about moving on from the past, rather than just simply ignoring it.

“In the past, we dove into some pretty dark areas of life, with Dark Skies being the pinnacle of hopelessness,” says Mr. Kirby.

Fit For A King’s sixth album “The Path” will be released on September 18 and can be pre-ordered at ffak.ffm.to/thepath.

Family of Australian Artist Harry Hains’ Releases First Posthumous Single

Posted on by Andrew Sorensen

Following the death of Australian Actor, Harry Hains, his family has released his single “Good Enough” on June 26 in honour of his life and legacy.

Having passed away in January of this year, the Melbourne born artist’s song “Good Enough” is the first track from the upcoming EP “A Glitch in Paradise”, which will be released later this year.

“Good Enough” (also known as Antiboy) offers a portal into a world where there is freedom to live without labels.

“Antiboy represents the idea that most things that we are taught to believe in are an illusion,” said Mr Hains.

Noted for his involvement in American Horror Story, Mr Hains was a talented musician, actor and model.

Growing up in Melbourne, he displayed a unique imagination as a child, where he often created horror films on his camcorder, wrote short stories and many poems inspired by Sylvia Plath and EE Cummings.

Sourcing inspiration from his mother, Jane Badler, Mr Hains lived, ate and breathed music, film and art creation.

“Good Enough” Imagines the world as a robot utopia where there is no inequality, prejudice or toxicity.

In the song, Mr Hains creates a world where humans and machines coexist and eventually conjoin together.

Using a robotic, neutral vocal delivery to remove any genders and labels, he opens the way for conversation about what the future of humanity should and could be.

“The idea of gender, sexuality and race are social constructs.

“The Surface doesn’t matter anymore. It’s really who we are, that’s what matters,” Mr Hains said.

An amalgamation of rock, electronica, and gothic pop, the songs in A Glitch in Paradise don’t conform to one genre.

Rather, the songs focus on topics such such as whether they are a good enough for a partner and feeling incapable of moving on.

The song “Good Enough” is available now and can be streamed through YouTube.
