7 years later this is still my favorite song by them. 1:13 just hits different. Dude when Jared absolutely annihilates the drums at 1:14 i go crazy. the 2nd throw of the drumstick the way he grabs that thing and smashes it into the snare diagonally feels like it creates an earthquake in my ears lmao. honestly, i barely know the rest of the song after that cause every time i watch the music video i just get to that part and play it over and over LOL.
Never heard Fit For A King before but again, thanks to being subscribed to Solid State I get awesome bands recommended to me. This video was posted today, and I am now looking up the rest of their music.
This is phenomenal. This is the direction I wanted to see them go in after "Descendants". This balanced melodic guitars with heavy parts just like that album did. "Creation|Destruction" was more heavy, but still great. Excited for the re-release.
Completely agree. C|D was a great metalcore release but it lacked those wonderful, ambient guitar leads that were on Descendants. With Andreas Magnusson production, this reissue is going to be glorious.
You shouldn't have to have faith if you really believe in yourself, all you have to have is acceptance in your actions and you shall find clarity in the calamity of your existence. You don't need god for that.
I am really glad there are no windbreakers in this video. I like how the clean vocals don't sound auto-tuned from previous releases. The electronic elements sound great. FFAK, I enjoyed this song and video.
Lyrics: Keep me alive. Break! Never once has self loathing fixed the challenges we face in this life. Leaning towards defeat is not a mindset that will ever suffice. Stand strong, stand firm, and have some faith. You will be brought to safety. Rest your weary head. When I let this in, that all hope is gone, I let these demons make bed in my home. When I let this in, that I've lost it all, my life is theirs for the taking. Death will not become me. For nothing in this life has been given that you can't face. For every heartbreak there is an embrace. Search for safety, you will make it home, rest your weary head. When I let this in, that all hope is gone, I let these demons make bed in my home. When I let this in, that I've lost it all, my life is theirs for the taking. You're the one who let these thoughts come in and devour you. You're the one stressed to the point of wondering is there anything you can do? There is nothing holding you down but your own doubt, break free and believe. Death will not become you. When I let this in, that all hope is gone, I let these demons make bed in my home. When I let this in, that I've lost it all, my life is theirs for the taking. Keep me alive. Took me a minute to find these so thought i would help you bro's out and post them here! Enjoy!
fit for a king has the best lyrics for those feeling depressed, its not just hey look all is rainbows and sunshine, but it isn't all woe is me either, it has a real message to help people pull through. God bless
It's refreshing to see nothing but positive comments about a band for once! Fit For A King has to be one of the best Christian metalcore bands out there!
They aren't just going to come out and completely reinvent themselves. They would have to change their name in that case because it would be Fit For A King. They are taking their sound, adding elements to it, progressing, and making new songs with their perfected sound.
This sounds very amazing. I love the guitar sounds angelic and smooth but also great breakdowns. It sounds heavy but not quite like C/D which doesn't bother me at all. They are progressing more and creating a sound that is theirs alone. Keep it up Fit For A King!
I'm so happy for these guys :) So proud to say they are from my home town and that I got to watch them morph from a DFW local band into a powerhouse signed band :) They never get old.
I love that Hard Rock feel to it, it's so different from their other stuff. Creation/Destruction was great, but if they make an album like this, it'd blow the rest out of the water.
I have to laugh at the people that say this is unoriginal. I don't recall the video being titled "Fit For A King - New Original Song You Have Never Heard". It's Fit For A King playing the sound they have made their own for two albums now. If it's not what you dig, don't listen.
Whoever said that has no clue who Fit For a King is. I cannot find one song of them which is unoriginal. Every song they made has a unique and incredible sound followed by amazing lyrics. You really can't say Fit For a King is unoriginal. They're professional musicians adding their own elements on their own music! - Peace. \M/>_
you guys are awesome!!! you guys still hold top spot for favorite metal band. loved that my second show i even went to was to thebcd releasebof creation/destruction in Littlerock arkansas. keep killin it guys -Brady(phileo)

I love Fit For a King but this should have been produced better. The drums sound louder than the guitar. The vocals seem separated from the track itself and sound a bit slow for the tempo. Overall, it sounds so produced that it's "underproduced" if that makes any sense. I like the song, though! Hoping the future album features the intensity of C|D, the guitar stylings of 'Descendants,' and great lyrics to be amazing.
Guitars could be a db higher but still, such a good mix. I agree with the "overproduced underproduced" part though, but it fits the song. Great mix overall
Well, technically this song actually came from the Creation | Destruction era, as this was only included with the reissued Descendants which came out the same year as Creation | Destruction. Personally, I think they've only gotten better with each release, though hopefully Deathgrip won't be an absolute chug-fest like Creation | Destruction was. I love that album, but it probably was their weakest in my book lol
I don't know honestly, I figured maybe coincidence? I haven't really done any research on it but I think Fit For A King came out first, so if anything blessthefall would be the imitator.
Aaron had a cool voice, I agree, but I personally think Tuck's vocals are a lot more powerful. Now, between Tuck, Bobby and now, Ryan, we have a really nice selection of clean vocals on the upcoming album.
How is this song not in the millions. I just dont get it. People don't recognize good music when its staring them in the face!
Intelligence still isn't there yet
Or screaming at that them!!! Wake the f up!!
Thank you bruh tell em
7 years later this is still my favorite song by them. 1:13 just hits different. Dude when Jared absolutely annihilates the drums at 1:14 i go crazy. the 2nd throw of the drumstick the way he grabs that thing and smashes it into the snare diagonally feels like it creates an earthquake in my ears lmao. honestly, i barely know the rest of the song after that cause every time i watch the music video i just get to that part and play it over and over LOL.
these guys need to be headlining tours. best band out right now
Never heard Fit For A King before but again, thanks to being subscribed to Solid State I get awesome bands recommended to me. This video was posted today, and I am now looking up the rest of their music.
That is a very smart idea, you won't regret it ;)
Very Good choice
Gawd, the guitar sounds at 1:15 are just epic.
This is phenomenal. This is the direction I wanted to see them go in after "Descendants". This balanced melodic guitars with heavy parts just like that album did. "Creation|Destruction" was more heavy, but still great. Excited for the re-release.

We as a generation should not lose faith. Demons cant destroy us!!! Trust in the one who has shown his love. Keep the faith in this shattered word.
Preach it brother
amen
Is god the swaglord?
You shouldn't have to have faith if you really believe in yourself, all you have to have is acceptance in your actions and you shall find clarity in the calamity of your existence. You don't need god for that.
Kurt Jensen Amen
Loving the distant guitar effects starting around 1:09! :)
I am really glad there are no windbreakers in this video.
I like how the clean vocals don't sound auto-tuned from previous releases.
The electronic elements sound great.
FFAK, I enjoyed this song and video.

Enjoy!
Dylan Smith thanks!
I let these demons make bed in my home 🏠..
One the best and most humble metal bands out there.
fit for a king has the best lyrics for those feeling depressed, its not just hey look all is rainbows and sunshine, but it isn't all woe is me either, it has a real message to help people pull through.
God bless
It's refreshing to see nothing but positive comments about a band for once! Fit For A King has to be one of the best Christian metalcore bands out there!
I still think this song is highly underrated
Fit for a king never disappoints me
untill u see them live lol
Jim van der Hidde when i saw them they brought the whole place into a moshpit and destroyed the other bands they were with on the About that Life tour
About that life tour...
The beginning IS SO SICK AND HEAVY.
Once again, you guys never fail to bring joy to me! Keep it up!
Man, when i listen to good heavy music it kinda bums me out that a lot of bands don't get recognition they deserve
I saw these guys live.. Pure amazement.
Drumming is awesome.
Everything about this band amazes me! Definitely my favorite
I dont think you guys can make anything that i do not enjoy. Amazing. Can't wait for the reissue!
This band always has such good/valuable meaning in their songs!
1:13 was sick when the drummer does that trick!!!!!!!
Throws the stick in the air? basic "trick"
Samuel Janzen sometimes the simplest of things will look great. keep that in mind.
I thought the cool part was that he did both sticks separately
Symthisis i agree fully
I didn't notice that at first but it's sick !!
Christan metal is awesome. Lyrics are so meaningful only ones who know the lord can truly understand. One name above all. All others will fall.
keep me alive finally arrived!! I was waiting for him, thanks guys! God bless...^^
I love that chorus
Fit For A King is a great band, great songs. Keep it up guys.
This mix is sooooo good
Cannot stop listening to this!
I think this is my favorite song they've done.
thier msg is so powerfull.
Mono-sodium glutamate?
+hoodedraider hahaha

These guys are killing it!
I'm so happy for these guys :)
So proud to say they are from my home town and that I got to watch them morph from a DFW local band into a powerhouse signed band :) They never get old.
I miss there old vocals from the original decendents album. It was just so heavy i loved it
This band sounds amazing i need to listen to more of them!
This is so badass.
This song is so good and the re-issue is on point!!! I love you FFAK!
My teacher told me to look up this band...best teacher ever!!! :D
1:12 that riff blew me away
Probably the best band out by far.
omfg all songs from this band are awesome :D
wow...I think I cried a little bit. so good
Never heard of this band but I'm actually excited to here more songs from them nice job guys
I love that Hard Rock feel to it, it's so different from their other stuff. Creation/Destruction was great, but if they make an album like this, it'd blow the rest out of the water.
This video is quality! Solid made an excellent choice of signing these guys! ABR and FFAK RULE!!
Count it all Joy blessed are the weary,the burdened and the poor in spirit for theirs is the Kingdom
Wonderful ... God bless you

People always complain when bands change their sound it baffles me to think that they are complaining that the sound is similar.
Whoever said that has no clue who Fit For a King is. I cannot find one song of them which is unoriginal. Every song they made has a unique and incredible sound followed by amazing lyrics. You really can't say Fit For a King is unoriginal. They're professional musicians adding their own elements on their own music!

This band is fit for MY King ;)
these drum parts are so sick
I cant lie, i got chills to that breakdown 😍 love fit for a king 😊☺️
this song is dope as fudge man
Absolutely amazing, guys. Really great. So pumped for the re-issue.
This music video reminds me of the TDWP's video HTML Rulez D00d with the cramped space and the old guy.
Thats exactly what i thought of after seeing this video
Probably one of my favorite bands. The Redux is bad ass, love the remake.
Totally agree man!!
this song still make me happy and remember my past :')
This guys were sick live
Just amazing
Wolves at the gate are still my favorite but these guys are sick!
One of my top 10 favorite songs, and i dont even have the album yet
Sounds amazing !!
you guys are awesome!!! you guys still hold top spot for favorite metal band. loved that my second show i even went to was to thebcd releasebof creation/destruction in Littlerock arkansas. keep killin it guys -Brady(phileo)

So glad I clicked on this.
Great song, awesome video... just weird that's not on a new album but a remake. Can't wait to have a whole new LP to listen!
I'm about this. FFAK slays
Holy nuts this band knows how to make music.
SO. GOOD.
Sick song sick band
Cool drum work
Probably one of their only old songs that I come back to. I’m a Dark Skies noob, do I’m obviously very biased. But, like, DIS SONG DOE! 🤟

I get an early The Plot in You vibe. I dig it
Wow I vote best song of 2013 right here
Definitely getting a Like Moths to Flames vibe from this!!! Digging it! \m/
THAT. STICK. FLIP. THO
TOO GOOD
Muito bom!
Very good guys, comes to Brazil!
amazing live. saw them at warped this year. that was a riot
I love Fit For a King but this should have been produced better. The drums sound louder than the guitar. The vocals seem separated from the track itself and sound a bit slow for the tempo. Overall, it sounds so produced that it's "underproduced" if that makes any sense.
I like the song, though! Hoping the future album features the intensity of C|D, the guitar stylings of 'Descendants,' and great lyrics to be amazing.
Oh why hello buddy. ;)
Howdy, Ernesto, my friend! ;)
Guitars could be a db higher but still, such a good mix. I agree with the "overproduced underproduced" part though, but it fits the song. Great mix overall
Too bad they had to part ways with the bassist/singer. he was really good!
uh no...
I Totally agree, the cleans and the uncleans were perfect
The greatest breakdown I have ever heard in my life. 1:05
Too Good
Where the hell did this band come from? I love you.
Ryan's voice is just so fucking pure.
I like it! It has a different feel than Creation|Destruction but in a good way!
That bassist looks like he is enjoying himself
They improved!
this came off their first full length album. If anything they went down, and are on the way back up with deathgrip.
Well, technically this song actually came from the Creation | Destruction era, as this was only included with the reissued Descendants which came out the same year as Creation | Destruction. Personally, I think they've only gotten better with each release, though hopefully Deathgrip won't be an absolute chug-fest like Creation | Destruction was. I love that album, but it probably was their weakest in my book lol
Fucking amazing. That chorus is stuck in my head now.
death will not become me!!
Fabiola Davila He said that right as I went to your comment 😊😎
+Lee Crawford haha cool
hell yeah
Awesome
The opening scene with the bloody face/bandages reminds me of the Blessthefall's latest album cover. Is there any connection?
yess Hollow Bodies i though that too
why would there be a connection between two different bands' albums?
I don't know honestly, I figured maybe coincidence? I haven't really done any research on it but I think Fit For A King came out first, so if anything blessthefall would be the imitator.
I don't think either bands intended to borrow/steal ideas
I hope not because I listen to them both. I didn't mean to suggest so, just trying to figure it out(:
I'm really going to miss those clean vocals
Shane Brightside Glad someone feels the same as me... the new cleans doesnt give me "that" feeling
+Shane Brightside i like both sets of clean vocals so much idk who's i like more haha
Aaron had a cool voice, I agree, but I personally think Tuck's vocals are a lot more powerful. Now, between Tuck, Bobby and now, Ryan, we have a really nice selection of clean vocals on the upcoming album.
I love the vocals on deathgrip
Creation/Destruction ooh that album, so gold so godlike.
Sick!
