Lonely God: Fit For A King’s Eighth Album Arrives This August
Metalcore heavyweights Fit For A King have officially announced their long-awaited eighth studio album, Lonely God, set for release on August 1 via Solid State Records. Recorded in Los Angeles with producer Daniel Braunstein (Spiritbox), the album captures a raw and unfiltered creative energy, signaling a new era for the group.
Alongside the announcement, a gripping video for the title track has dropped, offering fans a taste of what’s to come — a raw, performance-driven visual marked by chaotic energy, digital distortion, and an industrial atmosphere that mirrors the song’s themes of isolation and ambition. Watch the official video for Lonely God here.
The single delivers all the intensity listeners have come to expect: pummeling riffs, crushing vocals, deep grooves, and an industrial edge that pushes the band’s signature sound even further.
Frontman Ryan Kirby explains the meaning behind Lonely God:
“In general, ‘Lonely God’ relates to the pursuit of power. People trade companionship, relationships, and love for power and money. You may have all of the power and be a ‘God,’ but it’s a lonely spot because the world despises you.”
When discussing the album as a whole, Kirby emphasizes the band’s renewed creative freedom:
“Lonely God is the result of us writing with no agendas. We didn’t care about which song could be viral, or if we needed radio tracks. We just wrote what we wanted, for the first time, in a really long time.”
Since their 2011 debut, Descendants, the band has continued to push the genre forward with standout releases like Creation/Destruction (2013), Deathgrip (2016), The Path (2020), and The Hell We Create (2022). In 2025, Lonely God marks a bold new chapter. A powerful testament to creative freedom, unity, and unbreakable identity.
