The incredible Brighton four-piece BLACK PEAKS return with a huge, brand new single "King", set to be released on Friday 20th September through Rise Records/BMG.

"King" is a song about reflection, struggle and strength. It's about showing vision and optimism in times of hardship and the journey through those times, all told through the story/metaphor ofa young boy and his father, and their walk through a forest after being separated in the snow.

BLACK PEAKS front man and vocalist Will Gardner explains: “We had been working on a load of new song ideas, and this particular piece of music (which became 'King') was just a track that seemed to smoothly be completed really early on, musically at least ifnot vocally. Unfortunately this time coincided with myself getting very ill, making it pretty much impossible to do anything at all, let alone write, practice, record and sing, so the track stayed unflinished for ages".

"However, we had a really really amazing moment in July when everything just came together. I had this night when I couldn't sleep and the chorus melody was just going round and round my head. I satat my desk in the morning and the whole song just came out in one go, in like 2 hours of writing!".

"I called Joe (Gosney, guitarist) and he drove over immediately, excited and a bit bewildered that I was so hyped on apparently finishing the song, I gathered enough strength to sing it through and record it, and it was done! To have been able to create a piece of music in such a difficult time has been one of the most challenging but rewarding things I've ever done and I'm so proud of what we as a band have made".

The band will also be touring in Europe through October and November 2019. Expect "King" to be given its first airing on these dates, as well as a host of othersecrets and surprises. Check the dates below.
