The character King Geedorah is named after Ghidorah, the three-headed kaiju monster from the Japanese Godzilla film series - with the persona positioned as an alien dragon observing Earth and Earth's culture from above. The character was one of several aliases DOOM used across his career (alongside MF DOOM, Viktor Vaughn, Metal Fingers, and others). The catalog consists primarily of Take Me to Your Leader (2003) on Big Dada Recordings, with guest features from members of the Monsta Island Czars (the DOOM-affiliated rap collective).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSound and style\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eKing Geedorah's sound combines abstract hip hop, alternative hip hop, underground hip hop, instrumental hip hop, and experimental hip hop with extensive sampling from kaiju film soundtracks (particularly Godzilla film score material) and DOOM's distinctive layered production approach.
