King Kraken release their video for new single ‘Call To War’

KING KRAKEN have released their storming new rocker ‘Call To War’, and it’s a riff riddled, power packed, full frontal assault on the senses which sees the band kicking their new campaign off in style! 

“Call to War is the first single king kraken have released since our second album last April, we’ve picked up where we left off with March of the Gods, the same kraken sound but with more focus, grit and determination!

‘Call To War’ is a blistering new track inspired by the chilling sci-fi classic The War of the Worlds by H.G.Wells. Packed with relentless energy, the song charges forward at full throttle with thunderous riffs and pounding rhythms, while gritty yet melodic vocals cut through the chaos like a rallying cry against an unstoppable invasion. ‘Call To War’ captures the tension and drama of humanity’s fight for survival, delivering a fast-paced heavy anthem that feels both cinematic and ferocious-perfect for fans ready to march straight into the storm.

‘Call to War’ is the soundtrack to our Spring UK tour, this is your call to make it the sound of your spring as well.”
