Originally released in 1998, Tape Head marks a defining moment in the storied career of King's X. For many fans and critics alike including Martin Popoff of Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles, who ranked it as his #1 favorite King's X album this is the band's magnum opus. A bold and fully self-produced effort, Tape Head was also the band's first album on Metal Blade Records and stands as a testament to their fearless creativity, artistic control, and signature sound: massive grooves, thick harmonies, and soulful grit.Opening with the explosive "Groove Machine," the album announces itself with a raw intensity and swagger that never let's up. The band leans fully into a heavy, groove-driven direction that strips away their earlier prog leanings in favor of direct, chest-thumping rock and roll. Dug Pinnick's towering vocals and thunderous bass, Ty Tabor's crunchy riffing and nuanced lead work, and Jerry Gaskill's muscular drumming all come together with precision and power. The songwriting is top-tier, the performances locked-in, and the chemistry undeniable.Guest vocals from Wally Farkas (Galactic Cowboys) and original artwork by Ty Tabor help make this album even more special. As a companion piece to the solo albums Massive Grooves by Poundhound (Pinnick) and Moonflower Lane by Tabor also released in 1998 Tape Head is part of a powerful trifecta that showcases the full creative force of the band members during that era.This exclusive 2025 reissue from Brutal Planet Records presents Tape Head on yellow vinyl for the very first time pressed on stunning opaque yellow wax and limited to just 250 copies. The audio has been given an elite remaster by Rob Colwell (King's X, Nevermore, Galactic Cowboys), ensuring that every crushing groove and soaring vocal rings out with renewed clarity. A 12x12 full-color insert includes lyrics and rare band photos, and for the first time ever on vinyl, fans can experience the previously Japan-only bonus track, "Two."More than 25 years since it's original release, Tape Head still sounds ahead of it's time bold, honest, and unforgettable. This is King's X with no filters, no compromises, and no rules. Welcome (again) to the groove machine. For fans of The Beatles, Extreme, Faith No More, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Black Sabbath, In Living Color, Rush!Brutal Planet Records - Keeping Classic Rock & Metal Alive!
