Thursday: Killer Be Killed - Melting of My Marrow

     It hasn't been all that long (three weeks and change, by my count) since I've featured a Killer Be Killed song, but I've been jamming their record a bunch in the last week or so and it's growing on me like a weed. You really should check them out if you haven't already.

     It's certainly not my usual cup of tea -- proggy, techy, that kind of thing -- but the combination of Max, Greg, Troy, and Dave has something to it that's grabbing me and shaking until I bang my head. It's just plain solid, straight-forward metal, and sometimes that's exactly what the doctor ordered.

     It's hard to top that mean main riff from "Snakes of Jehovah", the last Killer Be Killed song I posted, but if you're looking for another stand-out moment or track I'd direct you to "Melting of My Marrow", which has some cool vocal work from Dillinger Escape Plan's Greg Puciato. It's great stuff, so check it out.

Friday: Killer Be Killed - Wings of Feather and Wax

     Since I mentioned them in "yesterday's" post about supergroup Antemasque, and have really talked about them before, I figure it's high time I give the figurative fifteen minutes to Killer Be Killed.

     Why? Let's do the math. Troy from Mastodon + Greg from The Dillinger Escape Plan + David from The Mars Volta + Max Cavalera from Sepultura and Soulfly = reason to be intrigued. That's a formula to get interested in right off the bat, and it doesn't hurt that the couple of songs that've been released so far aren't half bad either.

     You're probably way ahead of me on this one, but if maybe you've heard about this project and are still on the fence or something, have a listen to "Wings of Feather and Wax" from Killer Be Killed's debut self-titled album, due out next month, and see if you dig.
