Band Members: All instruments and vocals performed by Clint Love. All music and lyrics written by the same. Produced/Engineered by Clint Love and Steve Rosas at DRS studios, Wacko, Texas.
Influences: KBT was designed as an outlet for my own personal Ideas, wahtever form they may take. First and foremost it is influenced by Hard Rock and Heavy Metal. You will also find Industrial, Gothic, Blackmetal and even some Old School Thrash buried inthe mix. I've been compared to just about everything from Rammstein to Motorhead, and even the Sisters of Mercy. If you can name it as you hear it, you are probably right.
Sounds Like:Musically Killers By Trade delivers dark horror infused rock with a raw punk edge, and metallic riffing and pounding drums. A nice and crunchy very crisp guitar tone is used most of the time and that is really fitting. The leads on here are great too, eerie and wicked most of the time.
This release is a potential breakthrough of Killers By Trade, the music on here is very driven and it catches fairly quickly on. The metallic hard rock with the punky straight ahead attitude and raw and crunchy guitar tone, should speak to a lot and go straight into the heart of even more. If there had been a label behind this release, with the means of promoting the hell out of it, it would have become an instant big hit, I'm not a second in doubt of that. Clint Love has hit the right nerve with this music, and now when it has been recorded really powerful and hard hitting, it should kick some doors in. Though he has released "Ancient Rider" by himself, so I guess that will limit the amount of copies sold and spread, though beware, this will easily go and became a "cult" release and band, all the means for it are present.
