“This song addresses how complicated adoption is. I knew adopting a teenager would be very difficult, but the attachment makes things harder. I willingly chose to give my attention and love to a very difficult situation. I want to help, but the other person needs to be willing to accept my help.” – Ryan Kirby / FIT FOR A KING

FIT FOR A KING  — Ryan Kirby, vocals; Bobby Lynge, guitar; Daniel Gailey, guitar; Trey Celaya, drums; and Ryan “Tuck” O’Leary — bass/vocals — dropped their new album and 8th overall, titled Lonely God, on August 1st via Solid State Records. The album was recorded in Los Angeles with producer Daniel Braunstein [Spiritbox].

Fit For A King harnesses 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 all the way back to 2011 when Fit For A King unleashed their independent debut, Descendants. Since then, they’ve impressively garnered just shy of half-billion streams fueled by staples like “When Everything Means Nothing,” “The Price Of Agony,” “Breaking The Mirror,” and more. Along the way, they have 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. In 2025, you can hear their strength and camaraderie loud and clear on their 8th full-length offering, Lonely God, and the extraordinary new radio single, “Shelter”.
