King 810 formed in Flint, Michigan in 2010. Their music deals with the harsh realities of that city, with David Gunn's lyrics often drawing from personal experience. The band's sound is heavy and direct, built on crushing guitar riffs and Gunn's vocal range from guttural screams to more melodic passages.
They released their first album, 'Memoirs of a Murderer,' in 2014. Songs like 'Anatomy 1:1' and 'Carve My Name' established their raw, confrontational style. The band followed it with 'La Petite Mort or a Conversation with God' in 2016 and 'Suicide King' in 2019.
Gunn's writing has sometimes been criticized for its violent imagery, which he has said reflects life in Flint rather than glorifies it. The band's lineup has included Andrew Beal on guitar, Elijah Witt on bass, and Josh Williams on drums.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
