What’s a king to a god? That’s a question Texas metalcore titans Fit for a King are seemingly chewing on through their heavy-as-hell single, “Lonely God” — which is the title track of their eighth album.
“In general, ‘Lonely God’ relates to the pursuit of power,” vocalist Ryan Kirby said of the song’s larger themes. “They're trading companionship, relationships and love for power and money. You may have all of the power and be a ‘God,’ but it's a lonely spot because the world despises you.”
As for the rest of Lonely God, the record was cut in Los Angeles with producer Daniel Braunstein (Spiritbox) and is said to have been written with “no agendas” other than pleasing the core quintet of FFAK.
“All five of us have our fingerprints on this album,” Kirby noted. “We found a way to balance our voices. We've always been genuine with the lyrics, and that's the case again. There’s so much heart behind all of the instrumentation too. There’s definitely a lot of growth because our bond is tighter than ever.”
