King has served as the lead singer for a number of obscure power/prog metal bands over the last 3 decades, most notably Balance of Power, Avian, and the most overlooked band in the world Pyramaze. Though a low tenor, King can tend to thin out in the upper reaches and sound rather falsettish, yet has a very baritone like low register. In fact, sometimes he seems more comfortable in the lower extremities than the high. He has also developed some interesting nonmodal technique, including the always pleasing deathgrowl!
