On the Radar Update: Kings Destroy to Release 7″ in May, Record with Sanford Parker
Here’s a bit of trivia, brought to you by The Obelisk: The band Begotten — whose drummer, Rob Sefcik, now plays in Brooklyn On the Radar veterans Kings Destroy — was the very last to release a CD on Man’s Ruin before it went belly up. Begotten‘s self-titled album, released July 17, 2001, is catalog number MR-2024, and that’s as high as they go. Now you know.
Kings Destroy, as we know, also features members of NYHC mavens Killing Time and Uppercut. Here’s what the PR wire has to say about their upcoming 7″ release and future plans:
Brooklyn’s new hybrid of stoner rock, doom and hardcore, Kings Destroy, has announced they are ready to unleash their debut two-song 7” on May 25th. The 7” will be available for purchase through the band’s webstore, and digital download through iTunes. The two songs, “Old Yeller” and “Medusa,” were recorded by Mike Moebius, at Moonlight Mile Studios in Hoboken, NJ. “Old Yeller” can be streamed on the band’s MySpace page.
Kings Destroy will play a handful of shows in May to celebrate the release, donating a portion of the proceeds to the Brooklyn-based youth basketball team, the On Point Cyclones, whom the band sponsors. More details regarding the dates and locations of the shows will be announced in the coming weeks.
The band will then head into the world famous Water Music recording studio in Hoboken, NJ, this June, to record their debut full-length record with renowned stoner/doom producer, Sanford Parker (Buried at Sea, Pelican, Nachtmystium). The full-length is expected to release this fall.
