The Red Devils - King King
Review by Kim HongJoo
The album King King by Red Devils is a blues rock masterpiece that showcases the band's incredible musicianship and electrifying energy. From the opening track "Automatic" to the closing number "Cross Your Heart", every song on this album is a tour de force of blistering guitar riffs, soulful vocals, and thunderous rhythms.
The standout tracks on King King include "Goin' to the Church", a rollicking gospel-inspired tune that features a soaring organ solo, and "Devil Woman", a hauntingly beautiful ballad that showcases the band's softer side. But perhaps the most impressive track on the album is the title track "King King", a slow-burning blues epic that builds to a thunderous climax and leaves the listener breathless.
