K.O.D. (initialism for King of Darkness) is the ninth studio album by American rapper Tech N9ne; it was released on October 26, 2009, by Strange Music. The album features guest appearances from Three 6 Mafia, Brotha Lynch Hung, King Gordy, Kutt Calhoun, Krizz Kaliko and Big Scoob, among others.[6] The album has been broken up into sections: "Anger", "Madness" and "The Hole" from several of his other albums.[7] On October 22, 2009, the album appeared as a featured "Album Premiere" on Myspace.

The album entered at number 14 on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 30,326 copies in its first week.[8]

Background

The artist named Corey Taylor, who is from the band Slipknot was supposed to appear on the track titled "Killing You",[9] but he was unable to begin recording in time and, as a result, failed to submit his vocals for the track. The label had to move forward with mastering the track for the album without his involvement.[7]

Promotion

On September 9, 2009, Strange Music released a video on its YouTube account showing Yates regarding to his upcoming music video for "Show Me a God", stating that it would be a very serious video dedicated to his mother.[10] The music video for "Show Me a God" was then released through Strange Music's YouTube account on October 2, 2009.[11] On October 7, 2009, a second version of this video has also appeared on the label's account, except this one is in high definition.[12]

On October 20, 2009, "Leave Me Alone" and "Show Me a God" was officially released as the first and second digital singles.[13][14] "Strange Music Box" was also designated as a single from the album.[15]

The music video was filmed for the single "Leave Me Alone" which it was exclusively premiered on mtvU.com on October 27, 2009, in which was the album's original release date.[16] The music video for "Low" was released on December 3, 2009.[when?]
