King 810 announce new album ‘La Grande Mort or Silence of God’

KING 810 have announced a brand new album!

The Flint, Michigan metal outfit have revealed their new album, La Grande Mort or Silence of God, which is scheduled for release on November 27th. The upcoming record serves as the sister album to the band’s acclaimed 2016 release La Petite Mort or A Conversation With God, revisiting and expanding upon the themes explored on that record a decade ago.

Speaking about the upcoming album, vocalist David Gunn shares, “ten years ago, we explored ‘the little death’ – a phrase the French use to describe orgasm – in a sexually charged body of work. This year, we experience the silence of God. The little death was only a rehearsal for the big death. The record is about two lovers and their inconceivably dark relationship. In keeping with the French, it explores the themes of folie à deux (madness shared by two) and l’amour fou (mad love) to their deepest depths. If only one didn’t have to experience these events to articulate them.

The two individuals whose story is told in this work of non-fiction suffer from enmeshment — what happens when the boundaries between two people become so blurred that individuality starts to disappear. I also play with the idea of decalcomania — adapted from the French décalcomanie, equivalent to décalquer, ‘to transfer a tracing of,’ plus the English ‘-mania.’ Perhaps this can occur at inconceivable heights of creation, where a single soul may be imprinted on two separate individuals.”

To coincide with the announcement, KING 810 have also unveiled LOVE KILLS, the latest single to be taken from the forthcoming album, following on from Hungry Gods.

Speaking about the new single, vocalist David Gunn shares, “LOVE KILLS reveals there is no ceremonial difference between weddings and funerals. There’s a type of devotion that doesn’t care whether the other person is alive to receive it. That’s what this song is – love that outlives the need for consent from the ultimate authority: death.”
