KING 810 have announced their next project under the black rainbow, an episodic film series accompanied by a soundtrack of the same name. It’s available for pre-order here.
The follow up to 2023’s follow my tears is said the be the group’s most uniquely ambitious piece of work yet.
David Gunn, Eugene Gill, and familiar cohorts independently funded, wrote, directed, produced, filmed, acted, edited, and distributed under the black rainbow. The band has once again teamed up with producer Josh Schroeder for the writing and recording of the musical portion of the film.
The story unfolds when KING 810 encounter an enchanted instrument belonging to the angelic priest King Melchizedek… The first episode is live.

ABOUT KING 810:
Forget all the shit you’ve heard about KING 810, everything you think you know about them, and especially anything you’ve read on the internet. The band—David Gunn, Eugene Gill, and various partners-in-crime—gestated in one of America’s most forsaken and forgotten cities: Flint, MI. Like a soundtrack to urban apocalypse, their 2014 full-length debut, Memoirs Of A Murderer, introduced a sound equally steeped in bullet-riddled rap, groove-laden nineties metal, sexually charged industrial, and midnight-at-the-crossroads acoustic voodoo. In its wake, they emerged as the rare enigma equally comfortable on a mixtape alongside Freddie Gibbs and DJ Drama or on tour with Slipknot and Korn. They managed to leave stages in flames everywhere from The Gathering of the Juggalos to Sonic Temple. They got Vice, Revolver, PornHub, and many more talking as they quietly amassed over 100 million streams and counting across La Petite Mort or a Conversation with God [2016], Suicide King [2019], AK Concerto No. 47, 11th Movement in G Major[2020], and Follow My Tears EP [2023]. Like a séance in abandoned housing projects, they’re both repulsively familiar and alluringly otherworldly. In 2024, Gunn, Gill, and Co. continue in their pursuit of uncompromising art on their first-ever indie occult film under the black rainbow and its accompanying album and soundtrack of the same name. Listen to it and make your own opinion. Allow it to infect you and invigorate you. Welcome to KING 810 2024.
