This week’s episode is a fan pick! I’m profiling King’s X, the legendary progressive metal funk band. I go through their whole history and catalog. I knew next to nothing about this band, so the discoveries have been exciting.

I also dive into their connection (or not) to Christian rock, and how they evolved in ways that to me are far more humanist, and emblematic of a true spiritual path, than artists (or people) who stay devoutly in the full-faith Christian lane.

Do you know anything about King’s X? Are you a fan? How did/do you feel about their non-Christian rock status? Can you hear how they influenced so much of hard rock in the 1990s? Discuss dammit!
