by | Oct 25, 2013

More details have been revealed about Killer Be Killed, the new supergroup featuring Soulfly’s Max Cavalera, The Dillinger Escape Plan’s Greg Puciato, Mastodon’s Troy Sanders, and ex-Mars Volta drummer Dave Elitch.

The band, who recently inked a deal with Nuclear Blast Entertainment, will release their debut album in 2014. Interestingly, Cavalera, Puciato, and Sanders will share vocal duties on the project.

“It’s a bit of SABBATH-y doom, a bit of thrash, a bit of hardcore and punk,” Puciato said.

He added, “There would be no point in doing this if it sounded the same as our other bands. Of any of our bands, it sounds the furthest away from mine, mainly because Dillinger is Ben [Weinman]’s expression, musically.”

Cavalera commented on the group, “This is a very special project. It’s a one of a kind thing, with a lot of potential,” asserts Cavalera. “The album is a mix of heavy, fast and melodic songs.
