X04 brings old school rock spirit into the present with latest release “New Death King”

X04's "New Death King" has some classic rock grit and old school conviction. The song has a rock spirit, built on commanding energy than a lot of polish, so the performance feels direct and lived in. ''New Death King'' is about power, mortality, and the darker mythology that comes with the idea of becoming a figure larger than life. X04 leans into that tension with a sincerity that feels refreshingly unconcerned with the familiar language of classic rock. This results in a drastic reduction that remains true to the genre and firmly rooted in the here and now.
