British industrial rockers  KILL II THIS<\/strong> have released a video for the second track from their as yet untitled new album.  The release of the new song coincides with the announcement of the band\u2019s forthcoming appearance at HAMMERFEST <\/strong>on 21st March in Prestatyn, Wales as well as two headline UK dates later in the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking about the new track, guitarist Mark Mynett<\/strong> said, \u201cThe new album is coming on really well.  We do have a title for the album but we\u2019re not giving it away yet!  We are working a little differently on the new album, mostly because we are recording at my studio and I am handling the mixes, which allows us to be quite relaxed and work on songs in a less regimented way than we otherwise would.  Coma Karma <\/strong>just happened to be ready and mixed quite early in the process so we thought we would put it out there.   It\u2019s stylistically different from the first single we released, Sleeper Cell, <\/strong>but it\u2019s still a heavy track.   We\u2019ve also made a bit more use of technology and samples on this one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

21.03.19:  Hammerfest, <\/strong>Prestatyn, Wales<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KILL II THIS<\/strong> released four albums between 1996 and 2004 to widespread critical acclaim, most notably for their \u201cDeviate\u201d and \u201cTrinity\u201d albums. The band built on this with extensive European tours including supports with Slipknot<\/strong>, Machine Head<\/strong>, Megadeth<\/strong> and Fear Factory<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More on KILL II THIS:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPerhaps the easiest way to describe Deviate would be to say it’s the album FAITH NO MORE would have made instead of Angel Dust, had they been Lancashire and not LA born and bred a hyped-up supercharged electricity that maybe has only been matched on albums like Pigwalk, Burn My Eyes and Vulgar Display of Power\u201d <\/em>– Terrorizer<\/strong>“<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

KILL II THIS never followed the crowd. Blending extreme metal with elements of industrial electronica, hip-hop, and even opera, they always beat their own unique musical path.Released in 1997, and mixed by the legendary Colin Richardson, the debut KILL II THIS album, “Another Cross II Bare” featured Jeff Singer (drums), Mark Mynett (Guitar) Pete Stone (Bass) and Nick Arlea (vocals). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The band supported\u00a0GRIP INC.<\/strong>\u00a0(featuring\u00a0Slayer<\/strong>\u00a0legend\u00a0Dave Lombardo<\/strong>) and\u00a0SKINLAB<\/strong>\u00a0across Europe in June 1997, then\u00a0MEGADETH<\/strong>\u00a0on their “Cryptic Writings<\/strong>” European tour, with a support slot to\u00a0TESTAMENT<\/strong>\u00a0along the way. However, it was only with their second album, 1998\u2019s Deviate that the band found their own highly innovative sound. With Matt Pollock and Caroline Campbell recruited for vocal and bass duties, and\u00a0Andy Sneap<\/strong>\u00a0producing, the album was released to critical acclaim from press and fans alike. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ben Calvert replaced Jeff Singer for touring duties, with support slots to\u00a0ANTHRAX<\/strong>, UK dates with\u00a0SOULFLY<\/strong>, a European tour with\u00a0ENTOMBED<\/strong>, then a UK headline tour, before heading out as sole support on\u00a0SLIPKNOT<\/strong>\u2018s debut European tour.The band’s third album, “Trinity”, once again produced by Andy Sneap, featured guest vocals from\u00a0FEAR FACTORY <\/strong>frontman\u00a0Burton C. Bell<\/strong>. The band was confirmed as support to\u00a0DEVIN TOWNSEND<\/strong>\u2018s UK dates, followed by a U.K. tour with\u00a0FEAR FACTORY<\/strong>, and once again\u00a0SLIPKNOT<\/strong>\u00a0in Europe. The fourth album, 2003’s \u2018Mass. [Down.]-Sin. (Drone\u2018) was recorded with vocalist Phil Bretnall and drummer Steve Rooney. Pete Stone returned on bass. U.K. tours with\u00a0Anthrax<\/strong>, and European tours with\u00a0TYPE O NEGATIVE<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0MACHINE HEAD <\/strong>were followed by a headline European tour.In the Spring of 2004 Mark Mynett revealed that the fifth KILL II THIS<\/strong> album would be the band’s last. However, plans for the swan song KILL II THIS <\/strong>outing took on a new direction when the album “A New Spiritual Mountain,” was released under the new band name CITY OF GOD<\/strong>. This new outfit comprised Jeff Singer, fresh from his stints with\u00a0PARADISE LOST<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0BLAZE<\/strong>, Simon Gordon, ex-XENTRIX<\/strong>, and Tim Preston, ex-DEARLY BEHEADED<\/strong>. The band didn’t tour in support of this album and it seemed KILL II THIS <\/strong>had indeed come to an end.In 2014 – following years of, “should we, shouldn’t we,” conversations between founder members Jeff Singer, Mark Mynett and Pete Stone – the band was reactivated, with Simon Gordon taking on vocal duties. The band headlined the \u2018La Fiesta Du Rock\u2018 and played the main Ronnie James Dio stage of the UK\u2019s Bloodstock Open Air festival in August 2016.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The band played a Headline tour in late 2016 followed in 2017 by Leicester\u2019s Uprising Festival and SOS Festival in Manchester. In 2019 the band plans to release the fifth KILL II THIS <\/strong>album.To keep up to date with Kill II This news; visit\u00a0www.kill2this.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
