Metalcore heavyweights Fit For A King, who earlier this week announced their new album The Path (released via Solid State Records on September 18, 2020), have dropped a high-voltage new single. ‘God of Fire’ showcases the band’s ferocious breakdowns and lyrical courage, diving into the type of theology that values fear over love, a misrepresentation of the hope and salvation that is central to FFAK’s faith.
“’God of Fire’ is a song about religious leaders who instead preach a message of love, use the fear of hell and condemnation to advance their own personal morality or translations of scripture,” shares frontman Ryan Kirby on the message behind today’s release. “They essentially turn a God of love and mercy, into a God of fire.”
‘God of Fire’ joins ‘Breaking The Mirror‘ is the second single from the band’s forthcoming sixth album The Path due out via Solid State Records on September 18, 2020. Bigger, bolder and overwhelmingly epic in scope, The Path leans harder on the “metal” side of their sound, with shredding guitar solos, while doubling down on the massive catchy choruses that propelled their fiercest fan-favourite anthems.
“In the past, we have dove into some pretty dark areas of life, with Dark Skies being the pinnacle of hopelessness,” shares front man Ryan Kirby on the forthcoming album. “With ‘The Path’ we find our way out, and claim victory over the demons we have faced and are currently facing. This album is made to be the soundtrack for your victory over what mentally, and physically holds us back.”
