KINGS X HITS THE BILLBOARD TOP 200!

''XV" Debuts at 145 on Top 200 and 12 on Indie Chart!

 

KINGS X's and Inside/Out Music are proud to announce that "XV," the new album from KINGS X, has debuted at 145 on Billboard's Top 200 Chart and 12 on Billboard's Indie Chart.  This marks the first time in over a decade that the band has cracked the Top 200 in the first week of release.

 

With "XV," their fifteenth record, the band has once again delivered a prime example of classy groove rock featuring strong melodies, driving rhythms and stellar musicianship. Produced by Michael Wagener (Ozzy Osbourne, Metallica, etc.), "XV" has proven to be a unique yet comfortable addition into the Kings X discography.  "It is a very different record for us," notes guitarst Ty Tabor.  "It touches on a lot of different things from our past, but doesn't sound the same.  It seems to me that these are more complete songs.  Some are short and sweet, some are more adventurous and unpredictable in some ways."

 

KINGS X will embark on a unique and highly anticipated summer tour with Extreme and The Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp.  Updates can be found at: kingsxrocks.com

 

KINGS X, Inside/Out Music, SPV and World Management would like to thank the legion of incredible fans who have not only made this great first week possible, but have constantly proven their deep loyalty time and time again.  See you on the road!

Freakin' deserve it! XV is a masterpiece....can't stop listening to it. "Pray for Me" blows my socks off! "Blue" is amazing!. And "Julie" is a beautiful piece of craftmanship. Great job...keep the music coming.

King's X has always been the most underrated band ever. While bunches of less than worthy bands churn out crap on the radio, these guys have always been "My secret band". Every musician I admire feels the same. XV is their best albumn since Tapehead.
Cheers from Florida!!!

Dee
