Fit For A King dropped new single ‘Blood Pact’

FIT FOR A KING  — Ryan Kirby, vocals; Bobby Lynge, guitar; Daniel Gailey, guitar; Trey Celaya, drums; and Ryan “Tuck” O’Leary — bass/vocals — dropped their eighth album “Lonely God” last summer via Solid State Records. Get it here. 

The band returned Friday, June 12 with new music in the form of the standalone song “Blood Pact.” It’s full of piss, phglem, and palpable rage — just as fans like it.

“‘Blood Pact’ is a song that, unfortunately, has become more relevant as time goes on,” explains Kirby. “It’s about how the decisions of people in power affect the rest of us. And how as a human race, we face the reality of destruction, even when it’s not the majority making the decision.”

The song arrives ahead of FFAK’s summer tour with Motionless in White, which kicks off July 14 and runs through August 15. 

FFAK will remain on the road through 2026 and into 2027. The band will embark on a headline run of Latin America in October and then head to Australia with Beartooth in January. 

Fit For A King harness the power of their brotherhood in order to push forward. The music contains traces of the members’ personal and collective experiences grafted onto an ever-evolving sonic palette of metalcore unpredictability, alternative melody, and deathcore brutality laced with electronic alchemy. As trends came and went in the background of the last decade, the quintet has weathered trials and tribulations as well as enduring the chaos of a world constantly influx. However, their bond stretches back to 2011 when Fit For A King unleashed their independent debut Descendants. They continually progressed with Creation/Destruction [2013], Slave to Nothing [2014], Deathgrip [2016], and The Path [2020]. Meanwhile, 2022’s The Hell We Create marked their fifth Top 3 debut on the Billboard Top Christian Albums Chart and third straight Top 15 debut on the Top Album Sales Chart. Outburn applauded how, “With The Hell We Create, Fit For A King takes on a new depth,“ and KERRANG! assured, “It hits hard in all the right places.” They’ve impressively garnered just shy of half-a-billion streams fueled by staples like “When Everything  Means Nothing,” “The Price of Agony,” “Breaking the Mirror,” and more. Along the way, they also collaborated with the likes of August Burns Red, The Plot In You, The Ghost Inside, and We Came As Romans in addition to packing houses on tour. In 2025, you can hear their strength and camaraderie loud and clear on their eighth full-length offering, Lonely God [Solid State Records].
