KING 810
King 810 is an American nu metal band from Flint, Michigan. Formed in 2007, in a town renowned for its crime and poverty their sound blends everything from crushing nu-metal riffs and twisted alt-rock, to experimental hip-hop, electronica and dark jazz, standing proudly apart from the common modern metal herd. King 810 punctured the mainstream consciousness in 2012, when their "Midwest Monsters" EP earned them a deal with Roadrunner Records. "Memoirs Of A Murderer" the band’s full-length debut emerged to great acclaim later that year. Breaking new ground in 2015 with mixtape "Midwest Monsters 2": a collaboration with DJ Drama, featuring luminaries from the hip-hop world, including Freddie Gibbs, and a wholly new take on the rap/metal crossover. The following year, King 810 released the audacious "La Petite Mort Or A Conversation With God". The extraordinary, visceral poetry and prose of frontman David Gunn transmuted into the acoustic respite of the "Queen" EP before King 810 cut their big label ties embracing independence with 2018’s gleaming, esoteric "Suicide King" album.More recently, Flint’s finest have been spotted around the world, performing increasingly artful and theatrical shows following 2020’s apocalyptic "AK Concerto No.47, 11th Movement In G Major"; and dropped their most vivid and absorbing material yet, on 2023's "K5: follow my tears…" EP. Endlessly creative, King 810 continue to stride where no else dares, armed with nothing more than the bloody truth.

Mimi Barks
Mimi Barks has built a sound that is entirely her own. Her work is rooted in the collision of metal, industrial energy and trap, shaped into something she calls DOOM TRAP. The music is emotional, heavy and unfiltered. It reaches into places that are uncomfortable and turns them into something powerful and strangely beautiful. Nothing in her catalogue feels polished for comfort. It lives and breathes with tension, grit and truth.
