Kings Destroy Posts New Song "Mythomnia"

"Every band has 'that' song on an album," relays Kings Destroy vocalist Steve Murphy of "Mythomania," the latest single to come off the band's soon-to-be-unleashed, self-titled full-length.

"It's the song that you poured your heart and soul into for months. The song where the vocal line simmers in your skull refusing to reveal itself until you are completely frustrated by it. The song where the drums are not obvious or continually being perfected until the last minute. 'Mythomania' is that song on this album. Conservatively, we spent six months working this song out. It was constantly being revised," he continues.

"We had multiple discussions about scrapping it. It was a war within a war of creation. This is not a song that was borne out of a few beers and bong hits. It's a song that reaches from the soul. The lyrics are a metaphor for the growing gap between the haves and have nots in the world. The transition from quiet to aggressive is one of the best on the album as a whole and it's also a reflection of the band's singular personality. Mellow to chaos, life hurtling towards death, external peace masking internal gnarling anger. Challenge yourself, take the 'Mythomania' ride. The voice cracking at the end is both the voice of total victory and agonizing defeat. Can you hear it?"
