PRISONER ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM “KILL THE KING” OUT JUNE 20, 2025
Prisoner announced their new album, Kill the King, releasing independently on June 20, 2025.
Their latest album, Kill The King, marks a defining moment in the band’s evolution. Drawing inspiration from current events, personal struggles, and a deep desire to uncover life’s meaning, the album is a bold and unapologetic statement about questioning the world around you and striving for personal growth. The title itself reflects the band’s raw, no-holds-barred approach to rock music, delivering a sound that’s direct, powerful, and visceral.
Murray Emery shares,
“This album is especially different for us as this is a full band production from start to finish in a very short time. (5 months to write and record the album) Everything released previously (apart from singles) was the works of myself as a teenager still learning my instrument and craft. This is a direct representation of who we are as a band in 2025 and sets the baseline for what Prisoner is and where we will be headed in the future.”
The album was recorded by Murray Emery and Cody Anstey (Osyron) at Crooks Hollow Studio in Calgary Alberta, mixed by Cody Anstey at Clarity Recording Studio, mastered by Tyler Corbett (Red Cain, Osyron, Doxian) at Sole Audio and produced by Cody Anstey, Reed Alton (In Vertigo), & Murray Emery.
The announcement follows the release of the single “Lost In Control”, a hard rock anthem that encompasses everything you want from heavy music. Emotion bleeds through and through in the desperation of what this song proposes, fitting a mood of self-reflection or thrill-seeking angst.
