  • King's X is an American rock band that originated in 1979 in Springfield, Missouri. They were first called The Edge and later became Sneak Preview before settling on its current name in 1985. The band's current lineup has remained intact for more than three decades, consisting of vocalist and bassist Doug Pinnick, drummer Jerry Gaskill and guitarist Ty Tabor. Their music combines progressive metal, funk and soul with vocal arrangements influenced by gospel, blues, and British Invasion rock groups. Despite a largely underground reputation as the "musician's musicians", King's X was pivotal in the early development of progressive metal, and produced a series of early records considered essential within the genre. The band's lyrics are largely based on the members' struggles with religion and self-acceptance. King's X was ranked No. 83 on VH1's 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock. King's X has released thirteen studio albums, two official live albums, and several independent releases. After signing to Atlantic Records in 1987, they broke into the mainstream with their first six albums, including their only top 100 charting albums Faith Hope Love (1990) and Dogman (1994). The band's most recent studio album, Three Sides of One, was released in 2022 on the InsideOut Music label. Since leaving Atlantic Records, following the release of Ear Candy in 1996, King's X has released albums through Metal Blade Records, InsideOut Music and independently. Each member of the group has recorded several solo albums and have made numerous guest appearances on other artists' albums, as well as participated in numerous compilation projects. Doug Pinnick and Ty Tabor also have many albums released with side bands in which they participate. Throughout their career the band secured opening slots on arena tours, including opening for bands like Cheap Trick, Iron Maiden, AC/DC, Scorpions, Pearl Jam and Mötley Crüe as well as the Woodstock '94 festival. They continue to tour and perform live. The spiritual nature of the band's lyrics, particularly on their first four albums, has often led to them being labeled a Christian rock band, a label the members have rejected. King's X have also been cited as an influence or inspiration to numerous acts such as Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, The Smashing Pumpkins, Pantera, Dream Theater, Devin Townsend and Soil.

  • King's X est un groupe américain de rock, originaire de Katy, au Texas mélangeant metal progressif, funk et soul, et chants influencé par le gospel, blues et la pop. Leurs paroles s'inspirent de la religion et de l'auto-acceptation. King's X atteint la 83e place au classement des 100 plus grands groupes du hard rock de VH1. Après avoir signé au label Megaforce Records en 1987, King's X a fait paraître douze albums studio, un album live officiel, et autres nombreuses parutions indépendantes. L'album le plus récent en date, XV, est paru au label InsideOut Music. Au début de leur carrière, ils participent à nombre de festivals aux côtés de groupes comme AC/DC. Après leur départ d'Atlantic records et après la parution de Ear Candy, King's X signe au label Metal Blade Records. La nature spirituelle des paroles du groupe, en particulier des trois premiers albums, les a mené à se faire décrire comme un groupe de rock chrétien, ce que le groupe contredit fermement. (fr)

  • King's X - amerykański zespół rockowy, który łączy elementy metalu progresywnego, funku oraz soulu. Aranżacja wokalna zespołu jest pod silnym wpływem gospelu i bluesa. Teksty utworów w dużej mierze oparte są na refleksyjnych przemyśleniach muzyków i ze względu na duchowy charakter utworów muzyka często bywa klasyfikowana jako rock chrześcijański, lecz sami muzycy unikają jednoznacznej klasyfikacji. Mimo umiarkowanego rozgłosu King’s X położyli podwaliny pod rozwój metalu progresywnego oraz grunge'u. King’s X zostali uplasowani przez VH1 na 83 miejscu na liście 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock. Od czasu kontraktu z Megaforce Records w 1987 roku, grupa wydała dwanaście albumów studyjnych, dwa albumy koncertowe i kilka niezależnych wydawnictw. (pl)
