Fit For A King Announce New Album ‘Lonely God’ Due Out August 1

“In general, Lonely God relates to the pursuit of power,” shares Kirby about the track. “They’re trading companionship, relationships, and love for power and money. You may have all of the power and be a ‘God,’ but it’s a lonely spot because the world despises you.”

Further expanding on the album itself, Kirby shares, “Lonely God is the result of us writing with no agendas. We didn’t care about which song could be viral, or if we needed radio tracks, etc. We just wrote what we wanted, for the first time, in a really long time.” 

He finishes, “All five of us have our fingerprints on this album. We found a way to balance our voices. We’ve always been genuine with the lyrics, and that’s the case again. There’s so much heart behind all of the instrumentation too. There’s definitely a lot of growth because our bond is tighter than ever.”

Fit For A King harness the power of their brotherhood in order to push forward. The music contains traces of the members’ personal and collective experiences grafted onto an ever-evolving sonic palette of metalcore unpredictability, alternative melody, and deathcore brutality laced with electronic alchemy. As trends came and went in the background of the last decade, the quintet has weathered trials and tribulations as well as enduring the chaos of a world constantly influx. However, their bond stretches back to 2011 when Fit For A King unleashed their independent debut Descendants. They continually progressed with Creation/Destruction (2013), Slave to Nothing (2014), Deathgrip (2016), and The Path (2020).

Meanwhile, 2022’s The Hell We Create marked their fifth Top 3 debut on the Billboard Top Christian Albums Chart and third straight Top 15 debut on the Top Album Sales Chart. Outburn applauded how, “With The Hell We Create, Fit For A King takes on a new depth,” and KERRANG! assured, “It hits hard in all the right places.” They’ve impressively garnered just shy of half-a-billion streams fueled by staples like When Everything Means Nothing, The Price of Agony, Breaking the Mirror, and more. Along the way, they also collaborated with the likes of August Burns Red, The Plot In You, The Ghost Inside, and We Came As Romans in addition to packing houses on tour. Fit For A King will also return to Australia in 2026, supporting The Plot In You nationally next January, with Melbourne already sold out and tickets selling fast for all other shows.

In 2025, you can hear Fit For A King‘s strength and camaraderie loud and clear on their eighth full-length offering, Lonely God (Solid State Records).
