Throwback: “Magician” by King 810!
Oh how time flies. Eleven years ago an independently released album titled “Midwest Monsters” surfaced from Flint Michigan based King 810 which earned them a deal with Roadrunner Records. Lyrically inspired by an incident which took place in June 2012 when vocalist David Gunn was both shot and stabbed when he refused to hand over a bag during a robbery, the record was only released physically that same year before being made available digitally seven years later in 2019.
The highlights are too many to mention, the band at their aggressive finest with these songs very much the foundation that their 2014 debut for Roadrunner Records “Memoirs Of A Murderer” is based upon, a new rendition of “Murder, Murder, Murder” making the grade two years on. Our choice for this celebration is “Magician” as we raise a poison chalice and salute the creators…
