Trap metal outfit Dropout Kings have announced their new album Yokai will be released on August 8th through Napalm Records. The record serves as a tribute to their late vocalist Adam Ramey, who tragically passed away this past May following a battle with addiction. Ramey completed his parts for the album just weeks before his death.
A GoFundMe remains active for Ramey‘s widow and young son, and a memorial concert was recently held this past Sunday, July 13th in Mesa, AZ to honor his memory.
Dropout Kings commented:
“It’s with an incredible mix of emotion and devotion that we announce the release of our new album, ‘Yokai’, on August 8th! However, so much more than just new music, this album is our greatest dedication to the late legend, new father and cherished brother, Adam Ramey. Not just entertainment, but a testimony to the ambition, struggle, pain and indomitable will that has made the Dropout Kings who they are.
Not only a journey into the hearts and souls of the band during a time of their greatest loss as well as the experience of Trap Metal’s evolution, but the soundtrack to the realization of dreams and the defeat of nightmares across the world. We ask that you to listen, enjoy and join us in the mission of not just uplifting and remembering the spirit of one of the best men we’ll ever know, but in creating a better world so that those like you, him and us can LIVE better and with brighter futures ahead.”
