CD/DVD Releases: Unicorn Records Announces The Release Of Little King's New CD

Unicorn Records, Inc. is proud to present the Progressive/Melodic Rock band Little King?s new CD, Legacy Of Fools. The album, which follows on the heels of the El Paso, Texas, group?s critically acclaimed Virus Divine (Unicorn Records - 2005), is now available since the 26th of January 2008.

According to songwriter Ryan Rosoff, "The lyrical theme of Legacy Of Fools focuses squarely on some of the problems that we have inherited, and also on what we are willfully leaving behind." The song "Legacy" traces four generations of Rosoff men, starting with Ryan?s grandfather and ending with his infant son. The album's opener, "Prodigal Son," examines another familial relationship, this time between the 41st and 43rd Presidents of the United States.

"202" is named after Rosoff's classroom number (he teaches high-school English) and shines a harsh light on the state of education in America. "Mea Culpa" is a heartfelt plea for forgiveness, and "Collateral Damage" is an angry indictment of the war in Iraq that asks ?What would you do/If we occupied Cleveland?"

Legacy Of Fools continues Little King?s 11-year tradition of high-level musicianship. The group's intricate interplay is flaunted on tracks like "Collateral Damage," "Legacy" (which includes a beautiful violin melody performed by one of Rosoff's former students, Lyris Soto), "Internal Smut," and "202.? The dynamic material alternates between soaring melodies and chest-thumping rock and roll. Rosoff?s rhythm and solo guitar work are top-shelf, and he sings with passion and conviction. Eddy Garcia (formerly of Ministry and Pissing Razors) drums deftly; his chops are wrought with power and complexity. Bassist Michael Esparza plays with an acute understanding of when to groove and when to step into the spotlight. The power trio is joined by backing vocalists Heather Oglesby and Betsy Tinajero on three songs, and for the first time in Little King's history, keyboards play an integral role in sculpting the band's sound, as Ruben Gutierrez enhances seven of the album?s nine tracks. These collaborations result in a disc that is equally emotional and adroit. Without question, Legacy Of Fools is Little King's most complete, hard-hitting, and satisfying effort to date.

Featuring magnificent artwork by Jonas Ekman and mastering by the legendary Don Grossinger.
