The 'Gods & Kings', founded by vocalist Spapal and guitarist Nap, began composing songs between the two of them in each other's houses. Since they had a specific idea on how their music would be assembled it remained the two of them for years. They had many 'maybes' but none of them ever seemed to work to their liking. Until Trodden, a long time friend of Nap and Spapal, moved down to Fresno and became the band's bassist. The three of them from there moved into what is now dubbed the House O' Metal, where they could further work on their efforts to take over this world with some real METAL! After a year of recording and composing many new songs, Ben came to live in the House, fresh from a music school and willing to become the second guitarist and another song writer. All that was needed now was a drummer to give a heartbeat to the music, Cameron was a friend of a friend who happened to be a metal drummer and after a few jam sessions they decided he fit well within the band. So now finally after 5 years Gods & Kings have started their take-over!! INSPIRATIONS: (now these are bands that have inspired Gods & Kings and this is not the same and sounds like or anything of the standard...for Gods & Kings are making a genre of their own!) MANOWAR, IRON MAIDEN, SAVATAGE, OPETH, NEVERMORE, TOOL, ORPHANED LAND
