History
To Kill The King formed in the summer of 2005 with the demise of several local bands. Kevin recruited the members after the break of his former band, Color Blind Light. The band started writing and recording music at a home studio for several months. In the summer of 2006, they released a self-funded, self-recorded album entitled The Time Still Ticks (EP). Since 2005, the band had several member changes, before finally reverting back to the original lineup.
The band had posted a countdown on their Myspace page in June. Myspace. When the countdown had reached 0, the band posted the first single from their new LP, the song is entitled Dark Greetings Empty Meanings
On November 9, the band posted a blog on their Myspace. They are done with recording the full length LP and it is to be mixed by Steve Evetts (Every Time I Die, Our Last Night, Story Of The Year) and will contain 12 songs.
On November 23 the band posted on their Myspace that original member and guitarist Nick Mazoratti would be departing the band due to conflicts with school and that he would be replaced by Michael Wuchter, a member of My Aim is True.
As of December 2, 2008, the band updated their Myspace page with a top image of only an eye and a 9. It is assumed that this image represents 2009, the year the as-of-now-untitled album will be released. They had also posted a blog to encourage promotion, they asked myspace friends to change their image to this eye, and in return the user would get a new song.
The new LP is entitled "I Am Not The Answer" and is due out in 2009.
TKTK uses Gibson, Washburn, and LTD guitars. Pearl drums, Ziljian cymbals, Marshall amps.
In addition, the band is self-proclaimed to be "the greatest band in the world since Kiss".
