Nicolai King

Nicholas Ein "Nicolai" King (born September 5, 1989) is an American songwriter and guitarist, primarily recognized as The Blackest of Suns' fourth rhythm guitar player. Responsible for being brought into the band after Garrie Brotton's departure, the only album King ever recorded with the quintet was 2011's Rejoice, Japanophiles!; regardless of said fact, he does not make any appearances in the "Idiotic Insect" or "Beauty Is Never Tarnished" music videos (that title goes to his predecessor, for God knows why).

After leaving The Blackest of Suns in early-2013 because of personal reasons, King is now the composer and lead guitarist of digital hardcore quintet, Pigs on Acid.
