DEFY THE TYRANTS Reimagine Iconic Sitcom Theme With Explosive “King of the Hill” Cover

San Diego, CA — Groove-metal outfit Defy The Tyrants are back with a blistering and unexpected take on pop culture nostalgia, dropping a 52-second metal cover of the King of the Hill theme song. Originally composed by The Refreshments, the beloved intro has now been reworked into a thunderous, riff-driven tribute with a heavy modern twist.

Known for their aggressive yet playful edge, Defy The Tyrants inject new life into the classic southern twang of the original, transforming it into a wall of distorted guitars, pounding drums, and raw attitude. At just under a minute, the track pays homage to one of television’s most iconic intros while highlighting the band’s ability to blur the line between humor and heaviness.

The accompanying video, shared on the band’s TikTok and social media channels, features animated visuals, quick cuts of live performances, and stylized nods to the Hill family and Arlen, Texas. It’s part parody, part power play—and 100% pure energy.

“King of the Hill” isn’t just a novelty—it’s a mission statement from Defy The Tyrants: they’re here to have fun, hit hard, and flip the script. Whether you’re a fan of the show or just craving something fresh and loud, this one's for you.
