Kingdom Of Giants are about to “Reign” supreme! The band is thrilled to finally unleash its brand new studio album “Usurper”, out on November 13th, 2026, via SharpTone Records.
Alongside the album news, the band has shared the video for new single “Reign”. Watch it below.
Singer Dana Willax declares: “The last five years have been full of highs, lows, wins, losses, and roadblocks but at the end of the day we are just so happy and fortunate to continue making music that we love and to share it with anyone who cares to listen. We put our hearts and souls into this album and even though start to finish it only took us eight months, it’s feels like it’s 15 years in the making. I’m so thankful to the guys for everything they brought to the table in this process. It felt good to all be jammed into one room and hash out all our ideas in person like the good old days”.
Regarding “Reign”, Willax says: “This song has a couple of my favorite parts from the entire record, the breakdown in particular was very fun to mix and I’m hoping it hits live”.
An intense urge to challenge convention has always driven Kingdom Of Giants. Their progression proved palpable across “Every Wave of Sound” [2013], “Ground Culture” [2014], “All the Hell You’ve Got to Spare” [2017], and “Passenger” [2020]. Along the way, the group shared the stage with everyone from Beartooth, Kittie, The Devil Wears Prada, and Fit For A King to Chelsea Grin and Born Of Osiris. They also earned acclaim from Outburn, Parade, New Noise Magazine, and more.
In a sense, all of these moments only laid the foundation for “Usurper”. Even though the various members live scattered across the West Coast, the collective made a conscious decision to collaborate in-person. The group gathered in Long Beach, Northern California, and Las Vegas. Marking another first, Willax took the reins as producer, mixer, and mastering engineer. In the process, they managed to level up as a unit.
