Too real to live, too rare to die. In the current music scene full of infinite sub-genres of metals and cores ranging from black, death, nu, "tech", speed, groove, doom etc. the long time friends that make up members of KING describe themselves simply as "heavy". Formed in December of 2008 and influenced by the sound of 90’s bands such as Pantera, Sepultura, White Zombie, Korn and Nine inch Nails, the quartet never fails to mention the large role their hometown of Flint, MI played in crafting their sound.
Core Effect

Core Effect is a Detroit based regional band whose music has been described as heavy, modern, "hook" driven rock with an experimental edge. The band has been compared to the likes of Breaking Benjamin, Seether, and Three Days Grace, yet has carved out their own very distinct sound.
Givensix

Blending time tested rock and roll songwriting techniques with progressive tones and hints of death core, Givensix isn’t your average metal band. Hailing from Flint, MI, they’ve forged their own sound, both dark and angry, yet somehow familiar, darkly comic and jaunty enough to make you wanna dance around or punch someone in the throat. For more on the latest Givensix album 'Harvest' -- check out our review.
