Hailing from New York, New Jersey & Pennsylvania, North Eastern U.S.A. Kings Never Die walk the line between positive, uplifting messages and dead serious subject matter. A musical and lyrical mix of Hardcore, Punk, Metal with chat or sing along vocals.
In the band's words, "We love making music together and this is what gets spit out". Comprised of members, Dylan Gadino (vocals) Dan Nastasi (guitar/add vocals) Danny Schuler (drums) Larry Nieroda (guitar) & Evan Ivkovich (bass).
The original version of the band started working in Late 2019 and released an ep' effort "Raise A Glass" in early 2020 right before the Covid Pandemic, essentially shutting down the rest of its 20',21' plans.
"The goal has always been to formally release a Full-Length Album, we used the down time to focus in on writing, what we wanted to really say and recording" The band emerged with some new members and another ep' release "Good Times and The Bad" in 2022 as a taster while completing their upcoming "All The Rats" debut full length album.
Some may recognize Dan Nastasi from his past work as original Dog Eat Dog (ABK era) and before that Mucky Pup. Danny Schuler obviously as drummer in Biohazard and Evan "ONE" Ivkovich and bass player in Wisdom in Chains.
Although fans of those bands are sure to not be disappointed, Kings Never Die want to completely stand on their own regardless of their resume of bands. Nastasi adds, "This is all about what we are doing now, although we love and respect the people and bands we have played with, past and present, people should only judge Kings Never Die on this new album and The Now. Of course, we hope people who enjoy what we've done individually in the past dig it, but make no mistakes, there are no shortcuts or riding on past successes.
We have cultivated this band from the ground up, we're putting the work and love what we are doing and what we created here."
"All The Rats" contains 10 nonstop tracks starting with Stay True and ending with Side by Side which speak for themselves. Other tracks of interest are This One's for You, Make Them Anymore, and Never in My Eyes.
The listener should expect memorable vocals and lyrics spit out by relative newcomer vocalist Gadino with Nastasi adding in as he has done in his past. Musically, the beat is held down by Schuler's clearly recognizable style.
A mix of memorable hardcore/punk riffs and you have a sure to be classic album "All The Rats".
