It's a one of a kind thing, with a lot of potential. The album is a mix of heavy, fast and melodic songs.\" – Max Cavalera (Soulfly)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bevy of subgenres associated with heavy metal and hardcore punk have often given birth to one-off partnerships, guest appearances and duets, but rarely is there an entire band assembled with the primary purpose of getting in a room together to watch what happens when their respective creative muses danced, f***ed or fought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFast friends Max Cavalera (Soulfly, Cavalera Conspiracy) and Greg Puciato (The Dillinger Escape Plan) spent a marathon three-day session in the desert together, working up over a dozen demos with the same drum machine and four-track recorder Max had used to work on Sepultura's Chaos A.D., among others. After recruiting drummer Dave Elitch (ex-The Mars Volta) and bassist\/vocalist Troy Sanders (Mastodon), Killer Be Killed became a real band in a small rehearsal room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing a batch of practices in Orange County in early 2013, the four guys reassembled at The Fortress in the fall under the watchful eye of producer Josh Wilbur (Lamb Of God, Gojira, Steve Earle) and collaborated on their debut album, with Cavalera, Sanders and Puciato bouncing lyrics and song titles off each other right there. The end result should inspire other heavy music makers to collaborate more often, in the community-minded spirit of jazz, hip-hop and other genres. Featuring lead vocal contributions and lyrics from Puciato, Cavalera and Sanders, the aggressive assemblage of songs run the gamut from percussive crowd-inciting brutality, jagged basement show style carnage and melodic, off-kilter hooks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's delivered through a prism of metal history conjuring the raw aggression of early Sepultura rumblings like Morbid Visions and Schizophrenia with the increasingly progressive esoteric shamanistic approach of Mastodon and just a hint of the dissonance of The Dillinger Escape Plan. It's a set of songs with more traditional structure than most of them are known to perform, underlined by a relentless drum performance from a master of precision, power and groove.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKiller Be Killed is the latest signing for Nuclear Blast Entertainment, the joint venture between Nuclear Blast Records founder Markus Staiger and massively influential ex-Roadrunner Records Senior VP of A\u0026amp;R Monte Conner, who has worked with Max Cavalera on 18 records, starting with 1989's Beneath The Remains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWings Of Feather And Wax\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFace Down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMelting Of My Marrow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSnakes Of Jehovah\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurb Crusher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSave The Robots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFire To Your Flag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI.E.D.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDust Into Darkness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwelve Labors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForbidden Fire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIn stock and ready to ship!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eItems typically ship in 5-7 business days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou will receive tracking information as soon as your order is shipped.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor any questions about your order, please contact us \u003ca href=\"mailto:support@armadamerch.com\"\u003ehere!\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Killer Be Killed","offers":[{"title":"Picture Disc Vinyl LP","offer_id":68006817464684,"sku":"NBA5889-5","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0773\/8097\/6934\/files\/1000x1000-2023-07-31T132141.234.png?v=1690824156","url":"https:\/\/shop.nuclearblast.com\/products\/killer-be-killed-killer-be-killed-picture-disc-vinyl-lp","provider":"Nuclear Blast USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
