Exciting folk-inspired five-piece, To Kill A King, are bringing their new album, The Spiritual Dark Age, to The Plug, Sheffield, on January 11 to kick off their next tour.

Earlier this year To Kill A King played three consecutive London headline dates (at The Borderline, Oslo, and Omeara) and in support of the album they will head out on a full UK tour, starting at Plug and culminating at Islington Assembly Hall on January 27.

Guitarist, Grant McNeill, said: “After roughly two years in a room with a single window and a bare lightbulb making this record, we can’t wait to get out on the road, if for nothing else but to get some sunlight. That’s why we chose to tour in January.”

Produced by Gethin Pearson and the band’s keyboard player Ben Jackson, the album contains previous singles, The Good Old Days and The Spiritual Dark Age.
