Florida’s CULTURE KILLER announced their signing with Metal Blade Records in May of this year. Now, they are finally poised to launch their campaign for their debut full length, “Throes of Mankind”. The album will be released on November 27th via Metal Blade Records. “Path of Reflection“, the first cut to be released from the record can be heard now at metalblade.com/culturekiller.

“Throes of Mankind” was engineered by Austin Coupe and Kenny Gil at Pig Pen Recordings, mixed by Kenny Gil, and mastered by Alan Douches at West West Side Music. CULTURE KILLER described the tracking process as “the smoothest, most fun process we have ever experienced.” Guitarist/vocalist Hunter Young added that “Kenny and Austin are old friends of ours, so honestly it was just an all around amazing experience.“

The CULTURE KILLER lineup is rounded out by vocalist Ian Campbell, guitarist Trevor Kopp, bassist Collin Townsend, and drummer Dylan Blow. The band delivers pummeling metallic hardcore with violent, malevolent fervor. Musically, and lyrically, the band can simply be described as disgruntled and malevolent. The band would argue this is warrented given the current state of the world. Hunter Young explains: “The album hits on specific topics that the world is currently, and has been battling. Such as: racism, human trafficking, pedophilia in the pulpit, addiction, and the digital age ruining real human communication.“

CULTURE KILLER is the platform the members use to discuss topics they deem to be important. Not merely important, but topics they feel should be under discussion. They feel ultimately that “using the band to do anything other than talk about the evils and tragedies in the world would be doing an injustice to the listener and to ourselves.“

As previously announced, Tennessee’s WHITECHAPEL are hitting the road throughout November with Australia’s Psycroptic and new Metal Blade label mates, CULTURE KILLER. The tour will be visiting cities throughout the Midwest and east coast, including some places the band has never been to, before. Tickets will be on sale on Friday, September 25th at 10:00am local time.

Florida natives CULTURE KILLER have signed with Metal Blade Records and are preparing to record their full length debut! Previously, the band had released the “Denial” EP in 2014, and a single “Exterminate Filth” earlier this year. Today, fans can hear a brand new cut that will be appearing on their forthcoming debut. The track, “Justice Through Retaliation“, is streaming exclusively via New Noise Magazine HERE.

Culture Killer will be tracking throughout June with Kenny Gil (Dark Sermon) at Pig Pen Recordings. On signing with Metal Blade, vocalist Ian Campbell commented: “As a group of young musicians, it comes with great honor that Culture Killer is fortunate enough to be a part of the Metal Blade Family, alongside some of the most legendary and influential bands to date. We love working with everyone on the Metal Blade staff and can’t wait to release our debut full-length through the label later this year!“

The ferocity of Culture Killer‘s music and lyrics make it apparent that this band has a goal and message, and that this isn’t directionless rage. The cover art for the “Exterminate Filth” single should make this quite obvious. Drummer Dylan Blow elaborates on the topic Culture Killer tackled with “Justice Through Retaliation“: “The song tells the story of a woman fighting a seemingly endless battle with spousal abuse. She reflects on the words and feelings that she once embraced; soon realizing that the man she loved was now her greatest fear. At the turning point of the song, she finds that her only chance of survival is to kill him.

“Domestic violence is an extremely disturbing and reoccurring reality. Sadly, many stories remain untold. Don’t be afraid to speak up, don’t be afraid to reach out for help, and most importantly, don’t ever feel ashamed to tell your story.“

More details about the upcoming album will be made available throughout the next few months. The album is expected to be released later this year.
