KING’S X
Veteran art-rock trio’s first studio album in 14 years.
et’s face it: long-awaited returns can often be lacklustre. A cock-up in the personal chemistry department. Blunted songwriting chops. An ill-advised new direction or the wrong producer. Delightful, then, to report that no. Galvanised, perhaps, by the flurry of interest around Greg Pato’s 2019 book – Pearl Jam’s Jeff Ament and Anthrax’s Scott Ian were among the celeb admirers singing their praises within - the right royal trio of bassist Dug Pinnick, drummer Jerry Gaskill and guitarist Ty Tabor are back with this funked-up, prog metal cracker.
