The Killers are back!! The California Rockers KillSET are a five piece band hailing from Los Angeles and are pleased to announce the release of their new video “Tell Me Something” from their upcoming album titled “Kíllìn’ Sprëë”. The overwhelming support from the previous albums has allowed KillSET to embark on another musical journey, which has culminated in the brand new and highly anticipated album Killin’ Spree! Special thanks going out to Eric Kalina (co-producer), Eddie Wohl (co-producer and mixer), and Maor Appelbaum Mastering (mastering engineer) .
“Tell Me Something” is one of the most introspective and honest songs lyrically from the lead singer Chris Luca. “It describes someone struggling with depression and/or anxiety, the feelings associated with this and the attempted coping methods. It’s what’s inside of me another personality. Another voice that takes control. Another voice that has no soul. Simply put, the song is a desperate cry for help!” “
KillSEThailing from Californiawas created by taking a professional, well-oiled metal machine and adding an explosive, highly ignited, and charismatic front man. With an “anything goes” attitude, the contributions and writing styles of each member seem to perfectly complement one another’s individual uniqueness, to create a sound that beautifully kills. KillSET joined forces with renowned producer, Eddie Wohl (Anthrax, Fuel, Smile, Empty Soul, Ill Nino) and completed their first two full-length albums “Know Your Killer” and “S.T.F.U.” demonstrating their signature sound of pure ferocity and simple beauty.
The overwhelming support from the previous albums has allowed KillSET to embark on another musical journey, which has culminated in the brand new and highly anticipated album “Killin’ Spree”! This incredibly diverse record includes the song, “Burn” which was co-produced by and features Elias Soriano of Nonpoint, as well as other tracks featuring surprise guest musicians.
“Burn” speaks to many issues that are currently exploding in this country and the world. It begins with a heightened level of anger toward existing in a world that seems to be driven by increased hatred, greed and corruption. Current situations have become so volatile, not only on a societal level, but also on a personal level. You see lifelong relationships being tested and ruined daily in support of people who truly care nothing about us and are simply attempting to manipulate the masses for greed and power. A feeling of hopelessness can easily overwhelm you while simply scrolling through social media or various news outlets these days. You sit back and are disheartened by the constant attacks on the basic morals and values that were once held sacred, the negative place we are currently in and the direction things are headed.
That being said, you must accept and acknowledge that you are an active participant in this. Elias references this realization, that is needed on a personal level, perfectly with his lyrics “It’s gotten to the point that I don’t recognize, I don’t recognize me anymore. I’m doing things and saying things I shouldn’t, yeah I don’t recognize me anymore.” It’s an incredibly important line that speaks directly to the introspection we all must have in order to recognize the part we are playing in this chaos and our own demise. In the video we all have shots in front of a mirror. As the concept of the song changes to the possibility that we can come out of this positively, it becomes clear that one has to start making changes within oneself (the person in the mirror), if there is any hope.
Burn is now available on Spotify and all streaming platforms!
“Closure”, the first single from the explosive melodic metal group KILLSET’s anticipated album “Killin’ Spree” is available now!
“I think the song is pretty self-explanatory, as far as the message,” says vocalist Luca. “It’s about getting closure. I believe everyone has had some type of situation in their life where they’ve needed closure. The track is about finally getting it and being able to move on in a positive direction.”
Kerry Porter of Frontman Video Productions was enlisted to visualize the song’s dark vibe. The director expertly conveys the feelings and emotions that an individual goes through to break free from a bad situation, overcome and finally get closure.
The song was produced by Eric Kalina and Killset, and co-produced and mixed by Eddie Wohl (Anthrax, Fuel, Ill Nino, Smile Empty Soul). It was mastered by Maor Appelbaum (Faith No More, Sepultura, Butcher Babies, Ill Nino).

Since their breakout performance at last year’s Rocklahoma festival, Killset has been hard at work in the studio, meticulously creating and recording Killin’ Spree. The album will feature a track, “Burn,” co-produced by and featuring Elias Soriano of Nonpoint, as well as other surprise guest musicians.
“It was cool creating with the guys,” says Elias Soriano. “I really think we accomplished something special with this song.”
