menkillingmen

MENKILLINGMEN are a guitar/electronics-bass-drums trio. first demo released in 2004, the second one in 2005. they did their debut release on interstellarrecords titeled "freundschaft durch konsum" (autumn 2007)."The bandname, the cover design, the music, the message, all of this makes fond memories of younger, more enthusiastic days come alive, when the music I listened to was fast, harsh and direct to the bone, when I read political fanzines the same way I read lyric sheets in hardcore/punk-records and when I actually got excited about new records by bands I only had ever read about. Skipping the nostalgia about my hardcore/punk-days, which in reality never really happened too much outside my romantic mind, Men Killing Men are far away from the next run of the mill trash-core band (or whatever the current as fast and as screamy as possible-trend in hardcore is called these days, back then there was power violence, screamo, you name it…) but Men Killing Men are a fusion of a lot of other things as well. They take equal parts noise rock (another old time favorite, but this one I think I did live in some ways, but that only needed flannel shirts and beer drinking, easy!), the dynamics of emo-core and the ability of avantgarde noise to mix it with the attitude of punk rock. And yes, the mixture works, a lot better than you might think. It works fantastically."....
