Kings Destroy in not the motto of Game of Thrones; instead, it’s a Greenpoint-based five-piece that likes things hard and loud. With a pedigree that hails from such bands as Killing Time, Breakdown, Uppercut, and Electric Frankenstein, lead singer Steve Murphy, guitarists Carl Porcaro and Chris Skowronski, bassist Aaron Bumpus, and drummer Rob Sefcik have followed up their 2010 debut, And the Rest Will Surely Perish, with A Time for Hunting (War Crime, June 3, 2013), which features such heavy tracks as “Decrepit,” “Shattered Pattern,” “Blood of Recompense,” and “Stormbreak.” You can stream the album for free here. Kings Destroy will be at St. Vitus on June 7 for a record release party, on a bill with Windhand, Clamfight, and Belus.
