Solid State Records has announced the signing of their latest talent, Fit for a King: “We’d like to welcome Fit For A King to the Solid State Family! The Texas-based metalcore band has been elbowing its way onto the national scene as a full-time touring outfit, cultivating fans with a crushingly heavy, artful take on the genre that gives subtle tips of the hat to bands as diverse as The Acacia Strain, Circa Survive and Linkin Park.
For an intro to the band, check out a new video for their song Decendants below.
In September, the band will head into the studio with esteemed producer Andreas Magnusson (Oh, Sleeper, Haste The Day, Black Dahlia Murder) to record its debut album, due out in early 2013.
“Words cannot even express how excited we are to join the Solid State family,” guitarist Justin Hamra says. “We grew up listening to Solid State bands and we always talked about being on the label and how amazing it would be. And for it to actually happen is one the best feelings we’ve had as a band.”
“For us to be signed to this label is a massive step for this band,” he adds. “We’ve been waiting and holding off on labels for so long until we felt we had the right one. Our mission is just to work hard and put out music that we are proud of and that people want to listen to. We know we are all sent by God to do what we are doing in this band and we want to do our best to make every effort to be the best we can be.”
