It's dedicated to fathers past, present and future

Speaking about ‘Wisdom Told’, King Creature said: “Wisdom Told is a real powerful song that literally has brought tears to the eyes of all those that have listened, by design this song touches the hearts of many yet also celebrates fatherhood in the positive light in which we the band see it, we had a clear vision for the lyric video and a shout out was made to our fans to supply us with pictures of their fathers... needless to say we were inundated.
“We knew taking on such a subject matter was not one to take lightly and we feel we have put everything into it. We hope you love as it comes from the heart.”
King Creature ‘Set The World On Fire’ album:
‘Wisdom Told’ is lifted from King Creature’s second studio album ‘Set The World On Fire’, which lands on Friday 6th November via Marshall Records.
Embracing a gritty hard rock sound, ‘Set The World On Fire’ was put together during lockdown in a converted garage and it was recorded with the help of John Cornfield (Supergrass, Muse) and Mike Exeter (Cradle of Filth, Black Sabbath).
“While the lockdown commenced, everyone at KCHQ knew that now was the time to be productive,” King Creature said. “We converted HQ into a makeshift studio and worked with our engineer/producer John Cornfield over the internet sending files back and forth, the result was the new album and singles that are all just about to drop.
“The album is a reflection of the country/world at that time with some coincidental lyrics that gained more notoriety after we had written them, like ‘I cant breath’ in the song Beautiful Fatality which became associated with the BLM movement.
“The same happened for the song No Getting Out Alive, written before the start of the pandemic which eerily became a thing that we all went through again just a coincidence.
“The album in general is pretty deep and somewhat dark, we have made a dynamic shift in our songwriting as we mature and evolve as a band yet we feel the harmonies and structure give the whole thing a lighter feel. In our opinion it's a step up from our last album.”
‘Set The World On Fire’ features 11 tracks and is available to pre-order on CD and Vinyl and can be ordered with a limited album artwork t-shirt right here.
Covid-19 dependent, King Creature support its release with an appearance at Monsterfest in Inverness in November, before supporting Orange Goblin on their December tour.
