Kingdom Of Giants – drop video for new single ‘Respawn’

Buckle up because you are about to get throttled. The track boasts thick grooves, buzzsaw riffs, and pulses with kind of raw kinetic energy that could power an entire continent. 

The song marks the start of a thrilling new chapter for the California band, as it’s the first to feature the band’s new line-up, which now includes JT Gutierrez on bass and vocals.

“‘Respawn’ is the start of a new chapter for the band – and for me stepping in,” Gutierrez enthuses. “I’ve been working for 15 years trying to get to where I am today, and joining this band marks a turning point in my life that I will forever be grateful for. Working with the guys has been an incredibly smooth transition and they have become a very important part of my life. I couldn’t be more excited for what’s next.”

Singer Dana Willax also weighs in, saying, “‘Respawn’ is my favorite KOG track in as long as I can remember and I’m so excited to have JT be a part of it. I absolutely love how diverse his voice is and how well we work together and contrast each other simultaneously. ‘Respawn’ dives deep into a relationship that you know is wrong and unhealthy, yet you let that person back in for another chance even when they have proven themselves untrustworthy with something that is so close and important to you, and yet again, they let you down.”

A new Kingdom of Giants era is upon us, with more new music on the way in due course.
