Kill the Messenger
HardcoreDeath metal from Northern Kentucky that has a few suprise ballads and some other interesting material
Kill the Messenger is an eclectic group of musicians that creates music encompassing a vast number of genres. KTM was born on September 20th 2000. Upon meeting we were sure we had the makings of a great opportunity. We all came from differing music backgrounds, but shared some music influences and emotions. Once we opened the creative gates a tidal wave of invention was unleashed. We proceeded to write music feverishly. We could not control the creativity that we had all been forced to hold back in previous bands. After about 6 months we gained a control over the creativity and began to piece together our masterpieces. We self recorded everything that we have via a computer. We just aquired a drummer 3 weeks ago. The drum tracks heard on our MP3's we painstakingly created on a drum machine. Hopefull this drummer pans out
We will play any and everywhere that we possibly can. We believe that music is best experienced live.
Our influences are varied. They range from classical to alternative to thrash to death metal to hardcore to a little punk, some grunge, progressive metal, a dash of industrial, ballads, instrumentals, heavy metal, black metal, Gothic, etc, etc, etc
