Hard rock group Resurrection Kings—which features former Dio guitar player Craig Goldy—will release their new self-titled album on January 29 via Frontiers. In anticipation, the band has teamed up with Revolver to premiere their new song and music video, "Livin Out Loud." Check it out below and let us know what you think in the comments!
Goldy said, "The song 'Livin' Out Loud' is one that I am particularly proud of, because it really is a strong song musically, melodically and lyrically. Briefly....I like the mixture of tough, sexy and dark rolled into one song… and this one has it! Plus it's one of my favorite riffs that I've written!
"Even though Deep Purple is/was always my favorite band, there are a lot of sexy, nasty guitar parts in Whitesnake that do not appear in Deep Purple songs. And there are Deep Purple guitar parts that are so eclectic and avant-garde that do not appear in any Whitesnake songs! There are elements of the band Journey and the band Foreigner that are not heavy enough for me to listen as my favorite, yet those bands have some of my favorite song writing elements! So, I was able to put together all those elements into the songs for this album! And 'Livin' Out Loud' surely has this within!"

Vocalist Iván Murillo said, "This song focuses on the relationships with friends and loved ones who take a wrong turn. It's tough to watch when someone you care about turns their life over to self-destructive behaviors. You do all you can to provide help and support, but there comes a point when you have to draw a line in the sand and let them sink or swim. Tough love is the theme for this song."
