Pre-Production


The New Album

We've been busy doing preproduction on the new (yet to be titled) album. David Kowalski has been busy setting up recording facilities at our rehearsal studio and it certainly makes the song writing process much easier. The ability to listen to an arrangement , tweak and refine it long before we hit the studio will only lead to good things for the final product. We are excited for you to hear whats bouncing around in our collective heads!

Southern Darkness Review on HEAVY PLANET


"King Giant fall into a category of bands that span the globe, but honestly, this album could only be made in the American South. It's like listening to Down...or better yet, one of the true outlaw country artists like Waylon Jennings fronting Down...but with an even badder attitude. As a matter of fact, if Johnny Cash rose from the grave and started a metal band, this is what it might sound like. Folks, this is some serious shit. King Giant isn't music that's meant to be fun. No, this is music that's meant to exorcise demons.
Recommended...with a shot of whiskey."

KG Kicks off the New Year in DC!

We had a great time playing with longtime friends TONE. Thanks to Felix, Boo and the rest of the staff at the Rock and Roll Hotel for making making us feel right at home.
Also on the bill were Gifts From Enola and Dark Sea Dream. All in all it was a great night of rock.
Special thanks to Despina Anastasia for sharing some images she took that night.





Phil Stoneman was on the board that night. RULER!

King Giant on 98 Rock

Expanding our reach into the world of FM radio King Giant was recently featured on Baltimore’s 98 Rock during a special Noise in the Basement segment. Thats right we don't let silly blizzards prevent us from driving to Baltimore to do a radio show. So TI, DK and Hammerly piled into White Lightning and passed one overturned car after another. Gee maybe this wasn't a great idea. We got into Baltimore a bit early so we decided to try a local watering hole.




Matt Davis host of the Noise in the Basement show on 98 Rock let Potter's Field blast across the airwaves and it sounded damn good.

Goofy pic of TI on the 98 rock webcam.

The very next night we headed back to Baltimore to play a NITB gig at The Quarter.
But not before treating ourselves to an evening of fine dining at a swanky Hotel bar and lounge.






Full of good cheer we proceeded to play a riff heavy and rock steady set for the fine people of Charm City. We love you Baltimore. We'll be back!


Backstage was spacious.








Special thanks to Matt Davis and the rest of the 98 Rock crew for supporting the local music scene and Chris Kamsch for pulling that together.

Some Live Shots of Philly and NYC

Despina Anastasia goes the extra mile to support KG...literally. She drove to Philly and to NYC from DC during our mini tour.
She sent us a few pics today. Thanks for all you do Despina!

Mini Tour Mini Redux

Just a few shots Hammerly took during our Mini Tour with Kung Fury. We'll post more and some tales from the road over the next few days. Cheers!

We were about ready to build an Ark. Torrential downpours greeted us as we arrived in the city of brotherly love, as did fine establishments such as this.





Sunday the weather was perfect, and even the Holland Tunnel traffic was kind to us.
KG in NYC....it's on!




With a couple of hours to kill, we found a place for lunch. Rue-B's on Avenue B had Buffalo Trace in stock so we obliged.



Then it was on to the gig at Otto's Shrunken Head Tiki Bar....and Lounge. Where we had the great pleasure of meeting Mr. F. Wood. PUSH THE BUT'N!
