KILLER BE KILLED – the supergroup, which is comprised of Max Cavalera (SOULFLY, ex-SEPULTURA), Troy Sanders (MASTODON) Greg Puciato (THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN), and drummer Ben Koller (CONVERGE, ALL PIGS MUST DIE, MUTOID MAN) – will release its sophomore album, “Reluctant Hero”, on November 20 via Nuclear Blast. The first single from the LP, “Deconstructing Self-Destruction”, can be streamed below.
“Deconstructing Self-Destruction” highlights the outfit’s unique approach to vocals, with Cavalera, Puciato and Sanders all lending their voices to not only the single but all of the tracks on “Reluctant Hero”.
“This has been a long time coming. It feels great to be getting this out,” said Puciato of the Josh Wilbur-produced (LAMB OF GOD, GOJIRA) album as well as the bombastic single. “Also can I say that Troy‘s verse vocals are f**king insane? What an entrance. Go for a drive and roll the windows down and crank this thing up.”
