Kingdom Collapse create the soundtrack to survival. The San Antonio, TX hard rock band alchemizes unfathomable tragedy, trauma, and loss into massive and magnetic anthems powered by pummeling instrumentation and arena-size hooks that remind you to never give up.The band originated out of the childhood friendship between vocalist Jonathan Norris and bassist Aaron Smith, who grew up together, found music around the same time, and recognized it's power after Jonathan endured the loss of his father at eight-years-old.In order to cope, he immediately retreated into music and the embrace of a small community - which included Aaron's family. This was the turning point where both boys realized the power of friendship, the power of music, and their potential together.Jonathan and Aaron each made the rounds in local bands and even collaborated a few times on short-lived projects. When they finally joined forces in Kingdom Collapse, it was as if everything they'd gone through as friends prepared them to make a statement together. That statement is here now, in the form of the aptly titled album Survivor.
