Their latest single <em>\u2018Whisper Of A Dream\u2019<\/em> signals the start of a new chapter post-<em>The Noble Art Of Self-Destruction<\/em> era, and this Aussie run is shaping up as our first real taste of what that evolution looks like in the flesh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Kingdom of Giants are returning armed with fresh material from their <em>Bleeding Star<\/em> and <em>Burning Chrome<\/em> EPs, bringing their cinematic, synth-laced chaos back to local stages.
