King 810 is an American nu metal band from Flint, Michigan formed in 2007. Hailing from a place infamous for its crime and poverty statistics, King 810 specializes in effusive slabs of nu-metal-infused modern hard rock with elements of experimental hip-hop and dark jazz. The band's first release was their independent EP titled “Midwest Monsters” in 2012, which earned them a signing with Roadrunner Records; they released their second EP titled Proem in 2014, and their Billboard-charting debut studio album “Memoirs of a Murderer” that same year. The following year the band would be the first metal group to collaborate with DJ Drama on a project entitled “Midwest Monsters 2.” The EP blended metal and rap in classic nu metal fashion and featured several hip hop artists including Grammy award winning Freddie Gibbs. In 2016 the group released their sophomore LP entitled “La Petite Mort or a Conversation with God” followed by an acoustic project entitled “Queen.” In 2018 the group would go independent for the release of their most experimental album “Suicide King” only to return to form with 2020’s apocalyptic “AK Concerto No. 47, 11th Movement in G Major.” On January 23, 2023 the group released “K5: follow my tears…” The independent release landed them on Billboard's Top Current Albums Chart at #71.
