Press

"Death of Kings are a self-described epic-power-death-thrash-metal band, and there’s not a whole lot I could add to that except that their five-song CD, Crushed Beneath the Steel, is a brief, breathless and relentless onslaught of jagged teeth-baring guitars, intricate, pummeling percussion and screeching Sam Kinison vocals, and I like it a lot."

— Jeff Clark, Stomp & Stammer

"@deathofkings = best local band in Atlanta. DDTT endorsed " -Tweeted by @DickDBand, Dick Delicious

— Dick Delicious & the Tasty Testicles

"...Yes, there’s more going on in the ATL metal scene than shoe-gazey stoner metal. This thrash outfit conjures up images of classic Exodus and Testament... on the title track in particular, guitarist/vocalist Matt Matson ... [gives] the song a sort of 3 Inches of Blood effect. Mountain Lord is definitely my favorite on the album."

— CodeAires, Life in the Drab Lane

"This album is not only a great representation of what Death Of Kings can do, but what more bands need to do in the scene. From the thrashy riffs to the guitar solos to the vocals, it’s such a trip through the different genres of heavy metal, but it’s done so damn well." "I’ve seen numerous local acts come and go, but there have been a few that I know will be around for a while, and Death Of Kings is one of those bands. This four piece brings an all out assault of heavy metal to your ears and leaves you wanting more every time!" "'Crushed Beneath The Steel' is a five song release that promises to hit every metal bone in your body and then break them down with the amount of raging that happens after you hit play."

— Mark McPheeters "Metal Mark", SkullsNBones

"Showing influences from all of the OG metal bands they brought finger tapping guitar solos and high-pitched melodic screams reminiscent of Iron Maiden and the like. If you like old school metal, you will really enjoy these guys"

— Dane Abernathy, Shutter16 Magazine

"One Of My New Favorite Bands Is Atlanta's @DeathOfKings! Check Out Our Live Photos Of Them Here: http://snblnk.com/1g9 #Metal" - Tweeted by @Metal_Mark, Mark McPheeters

— Mark McPheeters, Skull & Bones

“Tight Bros Network ‏ @tightbros "I though Death of Kings were more exciting than Gucci Mane and that's real talk. If you're into Atlanta metal go see them." Retweeted by @deathofkings ”
