NYC Instrumental Progressive Rock and Metal Artist King Analog delivers pummeling psychedelia coupled with monolithic grooves on his self-titled debut album. This is the sound of an artist holding space for classic psychedelic rock artists and fusing their influence with riff-heavy modern progressive rock and heavy metal artists like Mastodon, Opeth, Russian Circles and Tool.
The album is a 7-track trip through the untethered sonic imaginings of solo multi-instrumentalist musician and producer Joe Difonzo.
King Analog is a trip through Rock goodness, drawing on old school influences such as Jimi Hendrix and Pink Floyd, but with a rhythm section closer to Mastodon. Well known music video Director Zev Deans (who directed Mastodon‘s “More Than I Could Chew” video) worked on the official “Transporter” music video. “Transporter” was mixed by Joel Hamilton at Studio G in Brooklyn. Session drummer James Knoerl plays drums.
Heavy music enthusiasts will find authenticity and passion in King Analog‘s hybrid rock and metal fusion.

Artist Biography:
King Analog is an ongoing project of Guitarist/Bassist Joe Difonzo.

At his home studio, Joe has a range of old/new analog pedals, tube amps, guitars and recording gear used to create his sound. He is available for playing, recording or collaborations of all kinds.
