Background notes
Archive material and source history
King 'o' War formed in London in the late 1970s, with Paul Di'Anno on vocals after his time with Iron Maiden. Their early sound was raw and energetic, but Di'Anno left in 1981, replaced by Sean Peck who brought a different intensity to the band.
They shifted from a thrash metal approach to something more melodic in the mid-1980s, which led to their anthem 'Follow the Metal King' gaining traction. Other songs like 'King'O'waR Has Come To Kill' and 'The Brothers of Thunder and Metal and Steel' show their thematic consistency with epic, metal-focused lyrics.
Their lineup changed frequently over time, with members like John Gallagher on bass and Dave Harbour on guitar coming through. They released albums including 'Battle Cry' in 1981 and 'Kings of the Night Time World' in 1986, maintaining a sound built around heavy guitars and strong vocals despite the personnel shifts.
