King’s X announce ‘Three Sides of One’; first new studio album in 14 years. Listen to the new single "Let it rain"
The legendary King’s X, comprised of dUg Pinnick, Ty Tabor & Jerry Gaskill, are pleased to announce the release of their 13th studio album ‘Three Sides of One’ on the 2nd September 2022. With the announcement comes the first new music from the band in 14 years, with the release of the album’s heavy first single ‘Let It Rain’.
Of the new album, dUg Pinnick comments:
“When I think of it, King’s X feels like a couple of
old best friends coming together, shooting the shit, and having a good time,
it’s instinctual. When I would listen to demo tapes of Jerry and Ty for the
record, it gave me a great perspective on how blessed I am to be in King’s X.
What they did on Three Sides of One sounded so good. For as familiar as it is,
it’s like I’m in a new band.”
Ty adds:
“This time, we sat around, listened to each other’s
ideas, and would collectively say, ‘Let’s work on that’. It was the most
enjoyable album I’ve personally ever recorded in my entire life, period.”
Jerry continues: “I’ll cherish what we did in my
heart forever. Everything lined up perfectly.”
‘Three Sides of One’ will be available as Limited CD
Digipak, Gatefold 180g 2LP+CD+LP-booklet & as Digital Album. There will

During 2019, the members congregated at Black Sound
Studio in Pasadena, CA with Emmy Award-winning producer Michael Parnin to bring
‘Three Sides of One’ to life. Despite consistent touring, they hadn’t cut a new
LP since 2008. Nevertheless, the guys picked up where they left off. Creative
confidant and collaborator Wally Farkas rolled through, and they channelled
their incredible chemistry on tape.

King’s X background:
Along the way, they architected a catalogue of seminal
releases. KERRANG! famously scored their 1988 full-length debut, Out of the
Silent Planet, with a rare “5-out-of-5-stars.” On its heels, the landmark
Gretchen Goes To Nebraska continues to inspire think pieces with Ultimate
Classic Rock going as far to proclaim, “no one else has crafted anything
remotely like it.” They notably appeared on the soundtrack to Bill & Ted’s
Bogus Journey, and Guitar World christened the self-titled King’s X one of “The
30 Greatest Rock Guitar Albums of 1992” (a year notably highlighted by
Pantera’s Vulgar Display of Power, Alice In Chains’ Dirt, Megadeth’s Countdown
To Extinction, Dream Theater’s Images and Words, and many more). Following
Dogman, the group graced the stage of Woodstock 1994 and toured with everyone from
Pearl Jam and AC/DC to Mötley Crüe and Iron Maiden. They also attracted one of
the most diehard fanbases in music with Ear Candy [1996], Tape Head [1998],
Please Come Home… Mr. Bulbous [2000], Manic Moonlight [2001], Black Like Sunday
[2003], Ogre Tones [2005], and XV [2008].
Their first full-length studio offering in 14 years,
Three Sides of One, represents the culmination of this trip and of a bond
forged way back in 1979.
