Premiere: To Kill A King – ‘The Chancer’

An emphatic return...

A band of quite intense live power, when To Kill A King set their mind to something they tend to follow it through.

So when the group describe their new album as “more optimistic and more life-affirming” – the words of front man Ralph Pelleymouter – they’re not exaggerating.

Out on March 2nd, To Kill A King’s new, self-titled, record represents an enormous step forward. Widescreen in both vision and approach, the material speaks of overcoming obstacles, of making a wish and watching it come true.
