Roadkill release music video for new single “Born To Be King” from upcoming album ‘This Way To Hell’
Australian rock band Roadkill has recently released a video for their latest single, “Born To Be King,” from their upcoming album, ‘This Way To Hell.’ The band, comprising lead vocalist Neil “Steel” Wilson, guitarists Zig and James Basser, bassist Jason Smith, and drummer Brendan “Squid” Sheverton, showcases their hard-hitting rock sound in this new track. The single can be purchased through Roadkill’s Bandcamp page for fans eager to add it to their collection.
The caption accompanying the YouTube video sheds light on the inspiration behind the song, highlighting the legendary Australian touring racing car driver, Peter Brock. Brock’s remarkable achievements at the Bathurst 1000 on the Mount Panorama race circuit, winning a record 9 times between 1972 to 1987, serve as the driving force behind the lyrics of “Born To Be King.” This latest release marks the first offering from Roadkill’s upcoming 5th studio album, ‘This Way To Hell,’ which is being produced by Joe Haley.
In a review of Roadkill’s EP, ‘Lock Down,’ Sleaze Roxx praised the band’s revitalization of songs from their previous albums that may have gone unnoticed during their time at Melodic Rock Records. The EP breathes new life into tracks like “What The Hell,” “Ready For War,” and “In The Dark,” giving them a slight technical facelift that enhances their appeal, making them ideal for hard rock radio stations. While there are hints of AC/DC’s influence in their music, particularly reminiscent of the bold and energetic rock sound of the Bon Scott era, Roadkill infuses their own unique style into their tracks.
With the release of “Born To Be King,” Roadkill continues to captivate audiences with their signature blend of hard rock and high-energy performances. The accompanying video and teaser trailer for ‘This Way To Hell’ offer fans a glimpse into what they can expect from the band’s upcoming album. As they gear up for the release of their new music, Roadkill remains dedicated to delivering hard-hitting rock tracks that resonate with their audience and showcase their passion for music.
Fans of Roadkill can look forward to the release of ‘This Way To Hell’ and immerse themselves in the raw, powerful sound that the band is known for. With their latest single, “Born To Be King,” setting the stage for their upcoming album, Roadkill continues to solidify their place in the rock music scene with their unapologetic approach and electrifying performances.
