Killer Be Killed - Wings Of Feather And Wax

Here we have the advent of progressive groove metal with the debut album from supergroup "Killer Be Killed". The band features Max Cavalera of Soulfly, Greg Puciato of The Dillinger Escape Plan, Troy Sanders of Mastodon and Dave Elitch of The Mars Volta. Each band member brings their various influences to each track creating a crazy mix of tempos and subgenres within each song. There is a lot going on here, but somehow, the band is able to mix these musical styles and the three very varied vocal styles of Cavalera, Sanders and Puciato together flawlessly on each song without sounding chaotic.

The band had slowly been working on material before announcing its name in October 2013, along with their signing to Nuclear Blast. The release date for their self-titled debut record was May 13, 2014.

The band was first announced in February 2011, when Metal Hammer reported news of Puciato and Cavalera planning a new project in the vein of Cavalera's Nailbomb band with Alex Newport in the mid 1990s. Shortly afterwards, The Mars Volta's Dave Elitch and Mastodon bassist Troy Sanders were announced to be part of the project. Despite not yet having a name, the group entered the Fortress Studio in Los Angeles, CA in September 2013 with producer Josh Wilbur. In October 2013, the band revealed Killer Be Killed as their name and announced that their first album would be released through Nuclear Blast. In March 2014, an announcement confirmed that the band's debut album would be self-titled, Killer Be Killed, and would be released on May 13, 2014. On March 14, 2014, two songs from the upcoming eponymous debut, "Wings of Feather and Wax", and "Face Down" were made available for streaming. Musical Style

Commenting on the writing process of their first album, Cavalera told Decibel that the record will be "politically charged" and that the composition will be a merging of styles of each of its members. In a press release, Puciato characterizes the style, "It’s a bit of Sabbath-y doom, a bit of thrash, a bit of hardcore and punk" continuing, "Of any of our bands, it sounds the furthest away from mine..."

Band Members:

Greg Puciato - Vocals/Guitar (The Dillinger Escape Plan)
Max Cavalera - Vocals/Guitar (Soulfly)
Troy Sanders - Vocals/Bass (Mastodon)
Dave Elitch - Drums (Ex-The Mars Volta)

Todays tune "Wings Of Feather And Wax" is taken from the debut album "Killer Be Killed" the video directed by Thomas Mignone, for Doom Corporation.

Bosnian Rainbows - Mother, Father, Set Us Free

The support band for Tomahawk the other day was the alternative rockers "Bosnian Rainbows". A band that I had not heard before, but was actually very curious when I heard that Omar Rodríguez-López was in the band. His involvement in the Mars Volta is totally magical so this must be something.

Sure, this was good, a bit different, a little wacky with a well dressed electro-clad squeaks rock, but with a great swing in the melodies. The singer Teri reminded at times of Björk, but with her ​​own peculiarities, a bit crazy, but with full control, where she at one point jumps down from the stage and disappears into the crowd, the band jams on and then she shows up in the middle, right in front of the stage, she stands on the riot fence with her back to the audience, singing a bit before she makes her stage dive, but she jumps out backwards. In total a great support act for another great band. If you got the chance to see them live, please do so as this is absolutly worth watching live.

Bosnian Rainbows is an American alternative rock band from El Paso, Texas, formed in 2012. The band consists of former The Mars Volta members, Omar Rodríguez-López (guitar, backing vocals) and Deantoni Parks (drums, keyboards), alongside Le Butcherettes vocalist Teri Gender Bender and Nicci Kasper (keyboards).

Initially billed as a variation on the Omar Rodriguez Lopez Group, the band was formed following Rodriguez-Lopez's putting his primary project, The Mars Volta, on hiatus.

Tomahawk - Stone Letter

Earlier this week did I got a extraordinary experience at Debaser, as there was an extraordinary live band on stage, namely "Tomahawk" with the exciting support band Bosnian Rainbow (More about that tomorrow).

The experimental alternative rockers in Tomahawk is finally back. After six years of silence, the band released earlier this year the critically acclaimed album "Oddfellows". A record that is characterized by Patton's distinctive and flexible voice mixed with interesting song structures and melodies.

Tomahawk are a unique band in more ways than one. Besides honing an incredibly eclectic and experimental style. Behind Tomahawk there is a great deal of experience, just to name a few, Faith No More, Jesus Lizard, Melvins and Helmet are just some of the many bands Tomahawk has connections with.

Here are two pictures from the show:

Besides Mike Patton (Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Fantômas, etc.) "Tomahawk" consists of Duane Denison (The Jesus Lizard, Unsemble, etc) and John Stanier (Helmet, Battles, etc.), Trevor Dunn (Mr. Bungle, Fantômas, etc.).

And live there are few other bands that come up in the same "live" class as Tomahawk, the group is just as tight as the members are seasoned. It is unprecedented intensity and total attendance where each song is presented as a separate work of art.

Todays tune "Stone Letter" is the first single taken from their forth studio album "Oddfellows" and this is Tomahawk's new music video for the albums track title. The single was release on Vinyl and as digital download on Nov 23, 2012.
