Killsong’s debut album is an unhinged, avant-garde assault resembling Frank Zappa on crystal meth, a coked-up Captain Beefheart and a rambling Tom Waits in the depths of an ether binge – and surely one of the most twisted and enjoyable albums to come out of Australia in some time.

Check out the first single from “He Is Risen”, and treat yourself to a pre-order while you’re at it.
Killsong – He Is Risen
Killsong cultivate a style that sporadically embraces spoken word poetry, world music, progressive rock, metal and sheer inanity. Few groups have trod the fine line between genius and madness with such reckless abandon.
If this band didn’t feature veterans of Australia’s experimental music scene, you’d be forgiven for thinking this was a field recording by escapees of an insane asylum. Members have previously played in Squat Club, Darth Vegas, The Bakery, Mr. Bamboo, Slimey Things, The Bznzz, Jimmy Swouse and the Angry Darts, and Rica Tetus amongst others.
Come 1 June 2013 there is going to be a lot of rubbing. Let us all be prepared.
