Canadian Rock Outfit Redlight King Release Second Single “Cold Killer”
From Upcoming Fourth Album ‘In Our Blood’
Due This Fall via AFM Records
Canadian American active rock outfit Redlight King will release a new single “Cold Killer” this Friday, August 26 across digital platforms. The groove-laden track is the second track to be issued from their fourth studio album In Our Blood due out later this fall via AFM Record. Redlight King have also shared a rebel-rousing music video for “Cold Killer,” directed and produced by Strati Havartos.
“Cold Killer” rocks with a swaggering authority that’ll snap your neck around. It’s a dark, neo-noir track built around heavy guitars and a shack-shaking groove. Frontman Kaz is a unique presence on the mic, chanting and singing the chorus hook in a street-level way that sets him apart from other current rock singers. The music video that goes along with the song is equally dark and cinematic and puts the essence of “Cold Killer” right in front of your eyes. The whole thing is a tough, modern rock experience the likes of which you’ve never had.
In the video, frontman KAZ leads a biker gang of outlaws including actor/musician Dan Garland (“Euphoria,” New Medicine), Arthur Victoryan, musician Jimmy Trigger (A Trigger Within) and model Widny Bazile (Vogue, Dior, Puma) across various locations in Southern California. Watch everything excitingly unfold in the “Cold Killer” video below.
“‘Cold Killer’ is about the moment in my life when all dues have been paid, where passion and will meet with wisdom and age,” explains KAZ. “It’s about taking one of my biggest and darkest character defects and flipping it on its head. The song is about capability. There is nothing more dangerous than a man possessed. Oh, and it dances…”

In Our Blood sees Redlight King notch soaring new highs with a clutch of revved-up, guitar-powered bangers that bring forth challenging, complex themes with a defiant undercurrent of hope. “I wanted fast, heavy rock songs and I wanted it to seamlessly translate to the live show, with a full rock band—something that was well-recorded but nothing too slick or overproduced,” shares KAZ. In Our Blood was written and produced by KAZ at his home studio The Wheelhouse in Los Angeles with longtime collaborator and guitarist Julian Tomarin and drummer Randy Cooke. The album’s first single/video “In Our Blood” was released on May 9 which Loudwire described as “a song that truly speaks to the human spirit.” Stream/watch/download it HERE
