I have killed and stacked the dead, on a throne from which I reign I am fighting to be god, I seethe and claw and thrash and shake
Then I forgot what I was whining about.Īnd still I’m a wicked, wretched man, I do everything I hate I was almost disappointed until this moment. He just worships…completely.Ģ) Felix Culpa (8:07) When I heard that Emery was a fan/sponsor of Kings, I was expecting a bit of the hardcore, screaming tone from Chad. There is something incredibly authentic about how he takes the guitar off to throw his whole body into his voice, unhindered by either what is “expected” of a Christian when worshipping, or the awareness of the cameras. After seeing the controlled vocal unleash (an oxymoron, I know) of many worship singers who don’t want to veer into “performing”, and the more, shall we say, “free” approach of some who seem all too aware of the crowd, I was surprisingly affected by Chad here. Yeah, it’s a word.ġ) Defender (5:37) Let’s just put aside for a second the fact that tubular bells are on the scene. There is something authentic and incredibly entrancing about their delivery, especially Chad Gardners, that makes moments even greater to define within extended sections of emotive scrumptiousness. While I imagine the live experience is beyond the realms of what your sonic palate can handle without going beautifully insane, Live In Color does not disappoint in portraying the power of their musical presence in a way that the audio alone can hint at, but not every fully embody. But to see why Toby of Emery says “ is going to usher in a new era for worship music that goes beyond the congregational Sunday morning setting”, you don’t need to look any further than this incredible 30 minutes of truly inspired music. You can hear the men of Emery rant and rave about Kings and their unique, potentially watershed approach to their music on the Bad Christian Podcast, as well as give context to the process and meaning of their latest release, Becoming Who We Are. My introduction to them came through their short-film style, live project called Live In Color. Led by Chad Gardner, they have managed to not just blend their various instruments, but conscientiously add and subtract them to best serve the music.
Kings Kaleidoscope is a multi-MULTI-piece band with everything from a strings trio, to a horn section, to the occasional tubular bell appearance.
