Kings Destroy Premiere “Dead Before” Lyric Video

Monday, August 9th, 2021

A couple weeks ago, New York’s Kings Destroy offered up a French-language version of the track “Dead Before,” taken from their latest album, 2019’s Fantasma Nera (review here), on Svart Records. It’s a fair enough track for them to try something new with, since the song itself was a turn from the hard-crunch norm they’ve […]

The Obelisk Questionnaire: Christopher Skowronski of Kings Destroy & Killing Time

Wednesday, May 19th, 2021

The Obelisk Questionnaire is a series of open questions intended to give the answerer an opportunity to explore these ideas and stories from their life as deeply as they choose. Answers can be short or long, and that reveals something in itself, but the most important factor is honesty. Based on the Proust Questionnaire, the […]

Truckfighters Fuzz Festival #2: Kings Destroy and Steak Added

Friday, June 12th, 2020

Of course, all the many caveats of 2020 apply. But shit, Truckfighters are putting together a party and it’d be awful shame if for one reason or another (or another… or another…) it didn’t come together. You know what I’d give to see Lowrider and Asteroid on the same bill? I’d give airfare. With Truckfighters […]

Video Premiere: Kings Destroy Make the Most of Quarantine with “Fantasma Nera” Video

Tuesday, May 19th, 2020

By now the ‘quarantine video’ is fast becoming a genre of its own, and one that will, when the planet has reopened to whatever new reality awaits our pitiful species — back to burning working class labor and fossil fuels we go, merrily cutting taxes and learning nothing — be a marker of this time […]

Days of Rona: Christopher Skowronski of Kings Destroy & Killing Time

Monday, April 13th, 2020

The statistics of COVID-19 change with every news cycle, and with growing numbers, stay-at-home isolation and a near-universal disruption to society on a global scale, it is ever more important to consider the human aspect of this coronavirus. Amid the sad surrealism of living through social distancing, quarantines and bans on gatherings of groups of […]

Friday Full-Length: Kings Destroy, And the Rest Will Surely Perish

Friday, December 20th, 2019

Invariably, the narrative I put to any Kings Destroy release at this point is one of progression, of learning from what they’ve done in the past and pushing themselves to new places in songwriting and style. I’m a fan of the band as artists and as people, but this narrative has the advantage of being […]

Kings Destroy, Fantasma Nera: Where You’ll Find Yourself

Friday, March 15th, 2019

The usual disclaimer: I won’t pretend to be impartial about a new Kings Destroy release. I’ve followed with great intrigue the process by which the New York five-piece have made Fantasma Nera, from the composition of the songs to working with producer David Bottrill — who has helmed records for Tool, King Crimson, and many, […]

Live Review: Kings Destroy, Gozu, Forming the Void and Clamfight in Brooklyn, 03.02.19

Tuesday, March 5th, 2019

Half a decade ago, I tagged along with Kings Destroy on a West Coast tour that took us, among other places, through a snowstorm in Wyoming. It was late at night, and cars were sliding off the road and pulled over with their flashers on, plows nowhere to be seen. A general wreck. I took […]
