Metal ist bei mir seit den Achtzigern die Musikrichtung um die sich (fast) alles dreht. Egal welcher der ganzen Stile, es gibt immer irgendwas, eigentlich sogar täglich, neues zu entdecken. Auch wenn sich mein Geschmack oftmals ändert: Es gibt Wochen in denen Ich nur Thrash, Death, Doom, oder einfach nur guten schlichten Heavy Metal höre, sogar Post (auch wenn Ich diesen Begriff hasse) darf gerne bei mir durch die Boxen jagen. Dennoch wird Heavy Metal immer mein treuester Begleiter sein.
Okay, ab und zu gehe ich auch mal fremd und wildere im Punk, oder Progressive und sogar mal im Pop. Aber am Ende wird es immer wieder Metal sein…………..und bleiben!
Seit 2008 haue ich für RockTimes in die Tasten, von mir gibt es Reviews, Live-Berichte und Fotos.
Euer Onkel Horg

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ATOMIC KINGS ARE BACK — NEW ALBUM TOO DROPS OCTOBER 19, 2026
NEW OFFICIAL WEBSITE AND MUSIC VIDEO ANNOUNCED
The Phoenix Hard Rock Juggernaut Returns Heavier, Groovier, and Hungrier Than Ever
PHOENIX, AZ — Turn it up. ATOMIC KINGS are about to blow the doors off 2026!
The Phoenix-born hard rock wrecking crew will unleash their ferocious sophomore album, "Too," on October 19, 2026.
"Too" will be available on three formats: CDs, High Quality 180 Gram Vinyl, and Downloads.
Fans can get the album directly from the band’s brand new official website at http://www.atomickingsband.com, as well as many other purveyors of quality classic rock.
This ain’t background music. "Too" is pure, sweat-drenched, blues-wired hard rock — the kind they don’t make anymore. Think the swagger and thunder of 70s gods — Free, Bad Company, Grand Funk Railroad, Led Zeppelin, Robin Trower — smashed into the raw, modern fire of Rival Sons and Dirty Honey. It’s dirty. It’s soulful. It’s got riffs for days.
The album features the breakout radio hit "I’m a Mover." The single went #1 for three weeks straight in September 2026 on the world-famous 97Underground.com and is still in heavy rotation.
And now, the band is proud to announce the official music video for "I’m a Mover" is out now.
And holding down the low-end earthquake? The one and only GREG CHAISSON.
Legendary. Iconic. The bottom-end beast behind Badlands and Red Dragon Cartel. When Greg plugs in, you don’t just hear it — you FEEL it in your chest. His signature groove is the secret weapon and the soul of Atomic Kings, and on "Too" he is absolutely on fire.
Rounding out this dynamic lineup are:
Ken Ronk – Vocals – A powerhouse howl with soul to burn.
Ryan McKay – Guitar – Riff slinger extraordinaire. Formerly of Crash Street Kids / Louis Prima Jr. and the Witnesses.
Jimi Taft – Drums – Thunderous, relentless, and locked in the pocket. Formerly of Ragdoll.
