FERAL KING is a more recent metalcore band formed in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina and is now in the Chesapeake, Virginia regions of the USA. With practically no info about this band it seems it may have been a short-lived one but its members are / were Matt Beck, James Wagner, Mike Chapel, Ian P Sabo and Travis Kesler.

The band released this one and only self-titled EP in 2012 which featured a mere four tracks and the following year appeared on a split with the band The Lonely Ghost Parade. These four tracks are super short and to the point with the longest “Ain’t It Cool” barely over two minutes making this band’s output a mere demo rather than a bonafide release but both these EPs can be found on Bandcamp.

Nothing special here. This is pretty much textbook metalcore with elements from hardcore punk and more energetic death metal. The vocals are shouted, the chunky guitar riffs chug along and the bass and drums are on overdrive. The musicians are quite competent but in the originality department this is pretty generic. A good start but with no followup this band has already all but been completely forgotten.
