In 2011, Fit For A King emerged from Texas with a searing signature style rooted in metal and hardcore and uplifted by hypnotic hooks. Their most recent album, The Hell We Create, dives into their personal lives in a way that their previous records haven’t before. Right before the pandemic, lead singer Ryan Kirby and his wife adopted her niece and nephew, and shortly after his wife suffered a massive stroke. The album talks about the struggles of this situation; the journey to hell and back.
In the end, Fit For A King delivers an important message on the record. “I want to raise self-awareness,” Kirby said “It’s not just important to fight for ourselves, but we’re fighting for others. You can reach out for help even if you’re scared. I know I was. I hope we can all reflect on not only what we put ourselves through, but what we put others through.”
Following the breakout LP Creation/Destruction [2013], they earned four consecutive Top 5 debuts on both the Billboard Top Christian Albums Chart and the Top Hard Rock Albums Chart with Slave to Nothing [2014], Deathgrip [2016], Dark Skies [2018], and The Path [2020]. The latter marked their first Top 10 on the Billboard Top Album Sales Chart. Plus, the band collaborated with fellow heavy-hitters such as August Burns Red and We Came As Romans.
