5. Fit For A King are pissed off in their new single of the same name. The single is the first off their forthcoming album Deathgrip, out October 7 via Solid State.

“The lyrics were written while we were playing Paris four nights after the attack on the Bataclan,” says Fit For A King lead vocalist Ryan Kirby about “Pissed Off.” He continued, “Seeing the way fear had torn apart a beautiful city that I had always dreamed of visiting really pissed me off. This song is a strong message about being absolutely fed up with all the violence and killing in the world and that our best way to fight this terror is to not live in fear.”
