Fit For A King Deliver Melodic Metalcore Wonder on New Song 'Keeping Secrets'
It's hard to believe it was only back in October 2022 when Fit For A King dropped their atom bomb of an album The Hell We Create and cemented themselves as one of the key players in the current landscape of metalcore.The lads also treated us in Australia to a surprise earlier that same year when they debuted a new song live on the Metalcore Snitches Tour (we also spoke with them about that special moment in the below episode of Wall Of Sound TV). But today the rest of the world should be chuffed they can get in on the surprise drop action with the release of new single 'KeepingSecrets'.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZCCUSdxy3U&t=1sFirst of all, RyanKirby is a force to be reckoned with in this scene.
