Fit For A King are celebrating a monumental first week for recently released album Dark Skies.

Throughout the album, produced and mixed by the legendary Drew Fulk (I Prevail, Motionless In White, Memphis May Fire), heavy music and melodic hooks are used to honestly explore the dark sides of life.

Like trailblazing metalcore giants Underoath and As I Lay Dying before them, Fit For A King skillfully mine the varying extremes of this music, building a catalog that sees them at home on tours with hard rock and deathcore bands alike. Tomorrow, the band will be kicking off their tour supporting The Devil Wears Prada as they celebrate the 10 Year Anniversary Tour of With Roots Above And Branches Below.
The tour will kick off in Portland, OR and travel to cities in the US and Canada through October 12th. A second leg of the tour was recently announced and includes cities like Denver, Dallas, New York and Columbus and will see the band touring through mid-December.

Check out the lyric video for “Engraved” below:
No matter the political divisions, the staggering alienation arising from our paradoxical and increasingly “connected” world, or the mistakes we all make, Fit For A King offer a foundation of open-mindedness and compassion.
“We’re a very transparent band. We aren’t pretending to be something we’re not,” says Kirby. “We want people to know exactly who we are.”
Fit For A King cherishes unwavering honesty. Even under Dark Skies.
