About Me

"What happened to the songs?"

The Kill are currently inactive. This profile may or may not remain in place. If it comes down, bulletins (and a few private messages) to that effect will be sent out a few days before the plug is pulled. More information to follow.

Where can you find the band members?

Kevin has a number of musical irons in the fire, including the cover band Dream Kings and several other projects of various types, about which he will post on his personal page when information becomes available.

Brent and Will make up two-thirds of the cover band Tri-fecta . Additionally, Brent can be found playing bass, sax, guitar, and singing with The Clique featuring Speedy West at the Friends club in Oklahoma City most nights of the week, and he also gives lessons to aspiring players locally.

Information about what Richard and Ezra are doing will be posted when it becomes available.

From the earliest inception in 2002 and the forming of a cohesive unit in January of 2003, The Kill have stayed true to their roots, delivering straight out heavy metal with tight, solid musicianship, with songs featuring catchy riffs and powerful, melody-driven vocals.

The self-produced, self-titled, full-length debut recording was completed in 2004. Praise for The Kill:

"With ’The Lie,’ ’Cursed,’ ’Dreams Of The Dead,’ and ’Summer’s Blood,’ there’s one highlight following the next." "... THE KILL’s music leaves nothing to be desired ... you should support this great new band!" -Martin Brandt, HEAVY magazine (Germany) "For those in search of the halcyon days of tech-savvy metal, look no further than The Kill.” -Danny Marroquin, Oklahoma Gazette

I've deleted the previous blog entries here, few though they were. I hadn't made a new one since April of last year and there was no information that still has any relevance. So it starts over from he...
