I don’t know if it’s really accurate to call King’s X “metal,” but “groove-oriented, soulful, progressive hard rock” isn’t quite as pithy. Anyway, this is from their excellent 1989 album Gretchen Goes to Nebraska. They’re a criminally under-appreciated band, probably because they not only straddle genres, but also straddled the Christian-secular music divide for much of their career.
