King's X
King's X is a
heavy metal band formed in
1985 in
Houston,
Texas.
Its lineup has been consistent:
All three musicians sing, although Pinnick handles most of the lead vocals. One of the identifying characteristics of the band has been their harmonically rich vocal arrangements, which have often been compared to work by
The Beatles.
King's X has struggled with being identified as a Christian Metal band. Many of their lyrics have a clear Christian influence but this comes from the individual faith of the members rather than an attempt to tap into that market in the way groups such as Stryper did.
