The legendary King’s X, comprised of dUg
Pinnick, Ty Tabor & Jerry Gaskill, recently announced the release of their
13th studio album ‘Three Sides of One’ on the 2nd September
2022, representing their first new music in 14 years.

the album, and you can listen to ‘Give It Up’ here: https://youtu.be/99pyxedohpk
dUg comments: “After I turned 71, death was on my
mind every day, Chris Cornell killed himself, and I was thinking of that.
Lyrically, it’s about not giving up until you naturally die. I want to ride it
out until it’s over. I’m laughing about how I haven’t gotten a will yet, but I
should have one. Musically, I wanted it to be really simple, so you can dance
to it.”

During 2019, the members congregated at Black Sound
Studio in Pasadena, CA with Emmy Award-winning producer Michael Parnin to bring
‘Three Sides of One’ to life. Despite consistent touring, they hadn’t cut a new
LP since 2008. Nevertheless, the guys picked up where they left off. Creative
confidant and collaborator Wally Farkas rolled through, and they channelled
their incredible chemistry on tape.
Of the new album, dUg Pinnick comments:
“When I think of it, King’s X feels like a couple of
old best friends coming together, shooting the shit, and having a good time,
it’s instinctual. When I would listen to demo tapes of Jerry and Ty for the
record, it gave me a great perspective on how blessed I am to be in King’s X. What
they did on Three Sides of One sounded so good. For as familiar as it is, it’s
like I’m in a new band.”
Ty adds:
“This time, we sat around, listened to each other’s ideas,
and would collectively say, ‘Let’s work on that’. It was the most enjoyable
album I’ve personally ever recorded in my entire life, period.”
Jerry continues: “I’ll cherish what we did in my
heart forever. Everything lined up perfectly.”
