To Kill The King is a melodic hardcore band formed in New Jersey in 2005. The band was known for their energetic live show and crowd participation.

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 EP entitled "The Time Still Ticks". Since 2005, the band had several member changes, before finally reverting back to the original lineup.

The band has posted a countdown on their myspace page. Myspace [ [http://myspace.com/tokilltheking MySpace.com - TO KILL THE KING - 973, New Jersey - Metal / Hardcore / Chansons populaires mélodramatiques - www.myspace.com/tokilltheking ] ] . There have been no details regarding this date yet.

The countdown revealed a new song entitled "Dark Greetings Empty Meanings" and have announced a new CD tentatively titled "Long Live".

Touring

To Kill The King only embarked on one tour in their short time as a band. To Kill The King toured with close friends I Am The End in 2006 [www.myspace.com/iamtheendx] . After a successful tour and a rapidly growing fan base, "To Kill The King" disbanded shortly after. The band played a so-called "last show" in early January, 2007 in Warwick, NY to a sold-out crowd [ [http://myspace.com/tokilltheking] ] . Since then, the band has played a few shows in the NY/NJ area with all original members.
