Official press release: Long Island hardcore quintet King Nine breaks their silence between albums with their impending second LP, Death Rattle, set for release through Closed Casket Activities on November 16th. As a precursor to the album's decimating landing, the opening track "Paradise" has been premiered through Kerrang Magazine, and pre-orders for the record have been issued. Four years after the release of their debut full-length, Scared To Death, King Nine comes back hard with Death Rattle, a brutalizing, groove-laden album which treads in the image of classic brutal NYHC outfits through a modern lens. With stomping breakdowns intermingled in the calculated, mid-paced drive, Death Rattle is indisputably the deadliest output from King Nine to date. Produced and engineered by Arthur Rizk (Cavalera Conspiracy, Power Trip, Inquisition) and finished with artwork by Sam Octigan, this album delivers eleven metallic hardcore tracks powered by raw aggression. Fans of Bulldoze, Sheer Terror, Merauder, Closed Casket cohorts Incendiary, Judiciary, Criminal Instinct, and other straightforward, streetwise hardcore are advised to seek out Death Rattle. As the LP's opening song, "Paradise," is debuted, King Nine vocalist Dan Seely states, "Every man carries a circle of hell around his head like a halo. Every man has to go through hell to reach his paradise." Stream King Nine's "Paradise" at Kerrang right here. Death Rattle track listing: 01. Paradise 02. Happiness Is... 03. Twisted Thoughts 04. Art Of War 05. V.R.C.F. 06. Gift Of Life 07. Death Rattle 08. Blue Lotus 09. Cowards Run Pt. II 10. Second Nature 11. No Dreams

Ninja-dancing mental midgets are stoked. Long Island is embarrassed beyond belief.

This is the most innovative thing I've heard in a while without any doubt. Sounds so fresh.

Possibly the most boring, uninteresting, talentless, pile of crap I've heard in a while .......... but since it's on Closed Casket I guess I'll say that I like it so that all my cool points and tough tokens don't run out on me. I keep coming back to this website in hopes that I'm going to discover something even halfway musical....... but to no avail, I have failed again.

Verses just sound funny, it's like he's a step behind the instruments and not bothering to catch up. Now I need to figure out what's for lunch today

anonymous 10/18/2018 3:36:16 PM

Hey everyone this is Jake Henry and I just had to stop by to say I love Pantera (Drew Paul does not listen to Pantera he is a poser) that's why I'm stoked on this new Album which shares a name with one of my favorite Pantera songs! But Although Drew Paul may not listen to Pantera, I'm stoked to be filling in on bass for his band METHOD this December at Snow and Flurry! Can't wait to play alongside BOOOOOZZZZIIINNNNN!!!!!

Please print cool hoodies for fat frumpies like me to hide under all fall winter spring. Ugh summer sucks

anonymous 10/21/2018 6:18:19 AM

anonymous 10/21/2018 12:10:51 PM

Boring as hell.

LOL @ Dan Seely quoting Max Katy from Cape Fear. Laziest band in hardcore. First album in four years - they might as well be broken up. Last played NYC last November. No record release shows in NYC, LI, or NJ. No plans to tour and no five shows is not a "tour." Hang it up.

Someone photoshop a dick in place of that mic LOL.
