KILLER BE KILLED
"Killer Be Killed" (Nuclear
Blast Records; 2014)
Reviewed by Jeff Rogers
This is the début of Killer Be Killed and what a way to
start out of the gates of metal! Deemed a 'super-group' because of its members
-- Mastodon’s Troy Sanders, The Dillinger Escape Plan’s Greg Puciato, Soulfly/Cavalera
Conspiracy/Sepultura's Max Cavalera and drummer Dave Elitch, who smashed sticks
in The Mars Volta -- this is a powerhouse of anger and aggression. Best dull up
your elbows and knees 'cause you're going down!
The second track, "Face Down" sports the line, "Killer Be Killed." Now you know
where the name came from. With the aforementioned heavy hitters in this beast of
a band you'll get plenty of groove metal, hardcore punk and thrash. It's the
trifecta of metal! The drums just destroy on this disc. It's eleven hellacious
tracks and if you've got the taste for this on vinyl then you'll get an extra
track to 'groove' on. The vocals are monstrous, with plenty of power and lots of
harmonizing. You'll dig the sounds of Greg, Max and Troy: another trifecta!
Killer Be Killed start with power and somehow amp it up higher and higher with
each cut. The music is like a stomping devil who's got a hankering for some
tasty souls.

Rating Guide:
A classic. This record will kick your ass.
Killer. Not a classic but it will rock your world.
So-so. You've heard better.
Pretty bad. Might make a nice coaster.
Self explanatory. Just the sight of the cover makes you wanna hurl.
