Tape Head marked a defining moment in the storied career of King’s X. For many fans and critics ranks this album their #1 favorite King’s X album and their magnum opus. A bold and fully self-produced effort, Tape Head stands as a testament to their fearless creativity, artistic control, and signature sound: massive grooves, thick harmonies, and soulful grit.Opening with the explosive Groove Machine, the album announces itself with a raw intensity and swagger that never let’s up. The band leans fully into a heavy, groove-driven direction that strips away their earlier prog leanings in favor of direct, chest-thumping rock and roll. Dug Pinnick’s towering vocals and thunderous bass, Ty Tabor’s crunchy riffing and nuanced lead work, and Jerry Gaskill’s muscular drumming all come together with precision and power. The songwriting is top-tier, the performances locked-in, and the chemistry undeniable.Guest vocals from Wally Farkas (Galactic Cowboys) and original artwork by Ty Tabor help make this album even more special. As a companion piece to the solo albums Massive Grooves by Poundhound (Pinnick) and Moonflower Lane by Tabor also released in 1998 Tape Head is part of a powerful trifecta that showcases the full creative force of the band members during that era. More than 25 years since it’s original release, Tape Head still sounds ahead of it’s time bold, honest, and unforgettable. This is King’s X with no filters, no compromises, and no rules. Welcome (again) to the groove machine.
