Ltd. Edition Red Vinyl. Following the release of their debut LP "All The Rats" in 2023 and their European tour together with "Dog Eat Dog", "Kings Never Die" began work on their follow-up album. After drummer Danny Schuler left to return to "Bioharzard", Dan Nastasi asked his longtime friend John "Booge" Milnes (Mucky Pup) to help with the recordings. Nastasi says, "The writing and recording process has been very different for us from the first EPs to 'All The Rats' to now. And this album was no different. We basically had 10-15 new songs in the works. After we got home from tour at the end of November, we decided it was best to start working on a new album right away. I basically locked myself in my home studio for 4 weeks and got into the writing process, writing new songs and working on ideas we already had. After that me, Evan and John Milnes rehearsed with the rhythm section for 4 weeks and then immediately went to Shore Fire Studios in Long Branch NJ to start recording. 3 days later we headed to PA to Rock Hard Studios and finished the rest of the guitars and vocals. We went back to NJ and mixed the album." The result is The LIFE & TIMES. And while it's not a concept album, the album is exactly what the title suggests. Side A, the life side, with the title track "The Life & Times" and other songs based on personal stories. Side B, the time side, really reflects on the times we live in and takes a good look at the youth or younger generations and the struggles they may face in the future. Nastasi said. "One thing I've learned from working with Danny Schuler is that every word you write or every lyric in a song has to have a meaning to you or something that people can relate to. I feel like it really helped me tell a story through the lyrics that I wrote on our last album, but especially on The Life & Times." "Most people think this album is a return to our original hardcore and punk rock style," says the band, and it's evident that vocally they've returned to a two-singer style with Gadino and Nastasi sharing vocals. "Kings Never Die" is 100% authentic and it's obvious that the music comes from the heart, both lyrically and emotionally. "The Life & Times" is clearly the band's greatest achievement to date.
