Dogman

Dogman (1994) more music like this

by King's X

After taking a harder and more frequently metallic approach on its self-titled fourth album, King's X continued in that vein on its next project, Dogman. Through it all, the Christian headbangers remained very recognizable and continued to make recordings that were impressive, even if they did fall short of the glory of Gretchen Goes to Nebraska ...

King's X

King's X (1992) more music like this

by King's X

Having lost their way somewhat with the overtly commercial and carefree Faith Hope Love, King's X tried to regain lost momentum with their eponymous fourth release. The album explores the darker side of their songwriting with mixed results, often over-compensating for the cheerfulness of its predecessor at the expense of the courageous ...

Gretchen Goes to Nebraska

Gretchen Goes to Nebraska (1989) more music like this

by King's X

It seemed inconceivable that Houston's King's X would ever top the brilliance and originality of their debut, but 1989's Gretchen Goes to Nebraska did just that, taking their unique sound to unprecedented heights of invention and inspiration. With its interweaving vocals, ominous bass riff, and sitar flourishes, the dark "Out of the Silent Planet" ...

Ogre Tones

Ogre Tones (2005) more music like this

by King's X

Perhaps more than ever in their lengthy career, King's X have embraced their heavy metal roots on their 11th studio album, 2005's Ogre Tones. While the riffs are mighty and quite a few screamed vocals can be detected, the most telling sign of all is that the group enlisted renowned '80s metal producer Michael Wagener (who has worked with Accept, ...

Ear Candy

Ear Candy (1996) more music like this

by King's X

Ear Candy is King's X most straight-forward album, lacking the art-rock tendencies of their earlier albums. What is left is a psychedelicized heavy metal, with swirling harmonies and guitar riffs. Although the album lacks a standout track on the level of "Over My Head," the songwriting maintains a consistently high level throughout the album. ...

Faith Hope Love

Faith Hope Love (1990) more music like this

by King's X

Although the Jimmy Swaggart/Jim Baker crowd was quick to denounce heavy metal in general as a tool of Satanism, a number of headbangers have used metal to promote Christianity, including Stryper, the Resurrection Band, Contagious, and King's X. Quite often, King's X did so in such a subliminal fashion that they fared as well in the secular market ...

Live All Over the Place

Live All Over the Place (2004) more music like this

by King's X

Having toured on a consistent basis since the release of their 1988 debut, Out of the Silent Planet, you'd think that King's X would have issued a live set some time ago. But for whatever reason, the Texas trio didn't get around to unleashing a live set until the 2004 double-disc Live All Over the Place. Instead of issuing a complete show from one ...

Best of King's X

Best of King's X (1997) more music like this

by King's X

Why King's X never became a hugely successful and well-known hard rock outfit will forever remain a mystery, especially after listening to the totally original and memorable compositions that comprise their 1997 Best of King's X compilation. An intoxicating blend of Beatlesque vocal harmonies, introspective lyrics, and genre-skipping music gained ...

Out of the Silent Planet

Out of the Silent Planet (1988) more music like this

by King's X

After nearly a decade struggling for recognition, Houston's King's X finally obtained a record deal with Megaforce Records, issuing their debut Out of the Silent Planet in 1988. The band's unique sound combines Beatles-esque vocal harmonies and melodies with heavy guitars, complex arrangements, and singer Doug Pinnick's incredible, gospel-tinged ...

Please Come Home...Mr. Bulbous

Please Come Home...Mr. Bulbous (2000) more music like this

by King's X

By switching from Atlantic Records to the smaller Metal Blade label in 1998 for their Tapehead release, King's X was finally able to call their own musical shots without having to worry about coming up with the "big crossover hit." Their second release for their new label (and eighth overall), Please Come Home...Mr. Bulbous, shows that this ...

Black Like Sunday (2003) more music like this

by King's X

Longtime King's X fans can attest, quite a few tracks from early in the trio's career had gone unreleased. With many of the songs never properly recorded (only existing as demos or live bootlegs), these early tracks were in danger of going forever unnoticed, until the boys decided to do something about it. Entering the studio in 2002, the band ...

Manic Moonlight (2001) more music like this

by King's X

After the relatively eccentric Please Come Home...Mr. Bulbous, King's X returned with the most confidently organic and groove-based record of their career. Manic Moonlight, the Texas trio's ninth album, is the sound of a band who has vented their demons and come to terms with themselves. This can be credited to several factors: for one, the band ...

Tape Head (1998) more music like this

by King's X

On their seventh studio album (and first for the Metal Blade label), King's X get back on the right track with Tape Head. Their previous release, 1996's Ear Candy, did indeed contain several superb tracks ("The Train," "Looking for Love," etc.), but was not consistently as great as such past classics Gretchen Goes to Nebraska and Dogman. Maybe ...

XV (2008) more music like this

by King's X

Over the years, the majority of rock critics have not been big supporters of heavy metal. But there have been certain metal bands that critics have applauded and championed as "thinking man's metal," including Living Colour, Jane's Addiction, Rage Against the Machine, and Anthrax. King's X have also often been exalted by critics as "smart metal" ...
