To Kill A King – Cold Skin

• 9th Jan 2013

To Kill A King will be releasing their debut album ‘Cannibals With Cutlery’, produced by Jim Abbiss (Adele, Bombay Bicycle Club) on 24th February, 2013. The single Cold Sun will be released on the same day as the album, and is the lead track.

‘Cannibals With Cutlery’ consists of 13 brilliant, memorable songs, varying in tempo from tender acoustic ballads to epics with orchestral strings, brass and five-part harmonies. At the fore are the intelligent, literary lyrics written by frontman Ralph Pelleymounter and sung in his distinctive, honeyed baritone.

Formed in Leeds in 2009, To Kill A King released their debut single ‘Fictional State’ on Communion in 2011. Second single ‘Bloody Shirt’ (from 2011’s ‘Crooked Saint EP’) was iTunes Single of The Week receiving 50,000+ downloads, Radio 1 support from Zane Lowe and Huw Stevens, Radio 2 airplay from Nemone, and playlists on XFM and Absolute Radio. This year, To Kill A King released the ‘Word of Mouth EP’, a collection of live recordings from their Fortress Studios lock up, with lead track ‘Howling’ receiving particular critical acclaim.
