KING’S X has inked a deal with Australian independent record label Golden Robot Records for the release of the band’s next studio album.
The follow-up to 2008’s ‘XV’ is tentatively due in 2019 via Golden Robot’s partners in the U.S., Europe and Japan.
In a 2016 interview with The Sacramento Bee, Pinnick said that KING’S X wasn’t in a hurry to work on new material.
“We have a lot of songs to choose from [for performances], and that’s probably why we haven’t done a record in so long,” he said. “In a way, we’ve kind of pulled all the tricks out of our bag.
“To this day, we’re perceived by our fans and outsiders as some huge thing even though we never had a really big hit,” he added. “I just think we weren’t considered a good flavor, so we were left on the shelf.”
KING’S X was sidelined by several health scares in recent years, including Pinnick‘s two hernia operations and two near-fatal heart attacks suffered by Gaskill.
