King 810 have premiered their new single “Simulacra Simulating,” accompanied by a music video filmed by midwestcreative_co. The track will appear on the Flint, Michigan-based progressive nü-metal outfit’s forthcoming album, ‘La Grande Mort Or Silence Of God.’
Frontman David Gunn explained the song’s connection to the concept of hyperreality, drawing inspiration from French theorist Jean Baudrillard and the idea that modern existence is increasingly shaped by simulations of reality.
“French theorist Jean Baudrillard said we live in hyperreality now — nothing but simulations of things that never had an original. ‘Simulacra Simulating’ is about testing that theory against the one thing that refuses to be fake: What it actually feels like to love someone.
Everything around us might be a copy of a copy. This song is about how love still gets through anyway — how something real can grow out of a world built entirely out of simulations. If Baudrillard’s right and none of this is real, then love is the glitch. It’s the one thing hyperreality can’t actually simulate.”
‘La Grande Mort Or Silence Of God’ is described as a spiritual successor to King 810’s 2016 album, ‘La Petite Mort Or A Conversation With God.’ The new record is scheduled to arrive on November 27, 2026.
