Certain bonds cross any and all borders and boundaries. Kill The
Lights harbor this kind of connection between them. Even though you've
got Michael "Moose" Thomas [drums] and Jason "Jay" James [bass] in
Bridgend, Wales, James Clark [vocals] in Minneapolis, MN, and Travis
Montgomery [guitar] in Dallas, TX, the musicians lock into an
impenetrable groove that eclipses physical distance. Together, they
rally around a tight, taut, and tough vision for heavy metal,
manifesting in after-reaching anthems and pit-splitting riffs. Of
course, the musicians boast an incredible pedigree. Moose co-founded
multiplatinum international heavyweights Bullet For My Valentine,
while Jay also played in the band. James fronted Throw The Fight, and
Travis Threat Signal, respectively. Upon forming Kill The Lights, they
uncovered uncontainable chemistry, releasing their debut LP The Sinner
in the midst of the Global Pandemic. Among many highlights, "The
Faceless" posted up 2 million-plus Spotify streams and counting
followed by "Through The Night" and "Shed My Skin," which each crossed
the 1 million mark. Metal Hammer rated it "4-out-of-5 stars" and
proclaimed, "Kill The Lights nail the groove and the glory." After
piling up millions of streams and earning acclaim from the likes of
KERRANG! and Metal Hammer, a sense of unwavering unity drives their
second full-length offering, Death Melodies [Fearless Records].
