KILLER BE KILLED unveils the brand new official music video for “Curb Crusher”, taken from the band’s 2014 self-titled debut. Directed by Melbourne photographer Neal Walters, the video combines a wealth of live and behind-the-scenes footage captured in Australia, where KILLER BE KILLED made their international debut at last month’s Soundwave Festival and “Sidewave” club shows.
Watch “Curb Crusher” on the Nuclear Blast YouTube channel:
For their live debut, Max Calavera (SOULFLY, ex-SEPULTURA), Troy Sanders (MASTODON), and Greg Puciato (THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN) were joined by Juan Montoya (MONSTRO, ex-TORCHE), who also performed on the album, and Ben Koller (CONVERGE, ALL PIGS MUST DIE, MUTOID MAN).
Metal Hammer stated the following about the band’s world debut:
“Despite releasing only one record, KILLER BE KILLED fill the hour-long set with ease and little by the way of banter outside of the great appreciation they pour on their first-ever audience. And the feeling is mutual. [I]t’s a feeling of acknowledgement and gratitude from the Aussie crowd who are now officially a part of heavy metal history.”
Killer Be Killed debuted at #58 on the Billboard Top 200 and #3 on the Billboard Hard Rock chart while cracking the Top 50 in Australia, the Top 100 in the U.K., Germany, Canada, and Switzerland, and the Top 200 in Belgium and France.
The album was produced & mixed by Josh Wilbur (LAMB OF GOD, GOJIRA).
“Curb Crusher” is the third official music video from KILLER BE KILLED’s debut album, following “Wings Of Feather And Wax” – which recently passed one million views – and “Snakes Of Jehovah.” Both of the previous clips were directed by Thomas Mignone, who helmed the legendary video for SEPULTURA’s “Roots Bloody Roots.”

MetalSucks placed Puciato at #1 on their list of the Top 25 Modern Metal Frontmen, but he also expresses himself through the dark electro-pop of THE BLACK QUEEN, together with NINE INCH NAILS touring guitarist Josh Eustis of TELEFON TEL AVIV and Maynard James Keenan’s PUSCIFER. Puciato made a guest appearance in 2012 with MIXHELL, the DJ project of Max’s brother, SEPULTURA co-founder Iggor Cavalera.
Cavalera is no stranger to collaborations, of course, having invited multiple guests onto SEPULTURA’s genre-defining Roots and SOULFLY’s gold-selling debut album in 1998. One such SOULFLY guest, Chino Moreno, has often joined Puciato onstage with both THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN and DEFTONES. Max was one-half of the incendiary NAILBOMB, together with English record producer and FUDGE TUNNEL mastermind Alex Newport. The pair released one studio album in 1993 and performed a blistering set at the Dynamo Festival in 1995.
“We did the song on SOULFLY’s »Omen« and then we started talking about doing an entire album together, the way he had with Alex Newport,” Puciato explains. “We eventually got together with some riffs we both had and wrote a bunch more material in a 72-hour blast out in the desert. We left with about 15 demos we made using the same drum machine and four track Max used working on »Chaos A.D.«”
Cognizant of the reputation both of them have cultivated after working with some of the world’s best drummers, Puciato called upon David Elitch, who had toured internationally with the mind-bendingly psychedelic group THE MARS VOLTA. His expertise in everything from jazz to metal has led to live and studio collaborations with a diverse range of major artists including Justin Timberlake, French electronic wizards M83 and Norwegian singer-songwriter Susanne Sundfør.
KILLER BE KILLED has come together even as their main projects hit a collective stride: Max just released his ninth studio album with SOULFLY, »Savages«, to many of the strongest reviews of his legendary career. THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN’s »One Of Us Is The Killer« debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Hard Rock Album chart earlier this year. MASTODON’s most recent album, »The Hunter«, was Album Of The Year in Kerrang!, Metal Hammer, Rock Sound, Classic Rock, Terrorizer and Total Guitar in 2011.
MASTODON and THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN have toured together many times. During one such tour in the U.S., in late 2011, Puciato was telling Sanders about the new project. Before too long, Sanders and Cavalera were meeting at a festival in South America for the first time: “Hey, I’m Troy. And I think we’re in a band together.”
The electric chemistry was apparent the first time they all assembled. “Having met, created and recorded an album together, this experience has easily exceeded my initial expectations,” says Sanders. “The collective energy and mutual respect for one another eased the entire process and has been very therapeutic for me.”

“He’s a Polish worker in the back of a dark truck, but he looked like a criminal to me,” explains Clark about his choice for the cover’s image. “Multiplying his face seemed to give him a sort of split personality/schizophrenic vibe, which feels like a good mesh. Not just for the band name but the idea of a (for the lack of a better term) super-group.”
