‘Fit For A King’ Releases Music Video for ‘Oblivion’

0 Comments

The music video for ‘Oblivion’ can be seen below. The track is taken from their new album“Dark Skies”, which is released on September 14th. via Solid State Records.

After a 20-second ambient intro, ‘Oblivion’ brings the super heavy, as vocalist Ryan Kirby screams such weighty lines as, “For so long, I can barely breathe / The grip of the guilt and the scars of my sins live on / They’re choking me.”

“To put it simply, ‘Oblivion’ is a story about a man’s search for forgiveness,” Kirby comments. “The lyrics in this track were inspired by a fan (who wishes to remain anonymous), who had done some hurtful things to people he loved. He felt he was beyond forgiving, though he desired it deeply and wanted to make things right. The chorus, ‘Tell me I won’t be forgotten,’ is his cry to God to not abandon him, to give him peace. It’s one of the more emotional songs on the album.”

The Dallas four-piece recently released singles for ‘Tower of Pain’ ‘Backbreaker’‘The Price Of Agony’ ‘When Everything Means Nothing’. These tracks help make up the upcoming LP “Dark Skies,” which was recorded, produced and mixed by the legendary Drew Fulk (I Prevail, Motionless In White, Memphis May Fire).
