Recon from the front - IKILLYA news

New Photos - Feb. 22nd, 2010
Hey friends. Once again, we called up our favorite photographer Kathy Mucciolo and she did her best to make our ugly mugs look good. Check out the "pics" nav item above to see 3 new shots! Thanks Kathy!

Crankin through - Feb. 13th, 2010
What's up all? We're rockin away in 2010. We had a great time on Feb 6th and we thank all of you that came out! We're booking away for the spring/summer and finishing up our EP. As a teaser, we've just uploaded "Lifesblood" recorded live at the Feb 6th show. (thanks sam!) You can hear it to the right on this page, or on our myspace or facebook pages. Keep it locked at any of those for more updates and don't miss us live!

2010 Bookings and an EP - Jan. 4th, 2010
Happy New Year everyone! It's been 4 long years that IKILLYA has been around in one form or another and we're really excited to be making some serious headway. For starters, we're in the middle of recording our first proper EP with Josh Wilbur (Lamb of God/Hatebreed/Slipknot). We are honored to be able to work with him and can not wait for you to hear how good this sounds! Click the "VIDS" link above to watch some videos from our sessions.

Next we've begun booking again. Our first show this year is Feb 6th at one of our favorite haunts, Ace of Clubs, with our favorite band Hung. RSVP at Myspace or at Facebook We're still filling out the lineup but you know it'll be killer. We're working on other dates right now so keep an eye out!

Slaytastic - Dec. 14th, 2009
Whoa! Well now that was a lot of fun! Thank you to all of our friends (and there were a LOT of you) who came out this past friday and threw down with us. We had a blast and I think we held our own against the killer lineup of HUNG, The Saints of Pain, Devil To Pay, and Knives Everywhere. Thanks as always to Ace of Clubs. We're looking forward to recording this winter and playing plenty more shows so stay close! We're on a damn roll now.
METAL!

Feels good to be back - Nov. 14th, 2009
Hello friends. Last nights show was a hell of a lot of fun and we want to thank you all for coming out. Hung absolutely mopped the floor with all the other bands, but what did we expect? Resolution 15, With Daggers Drawn and In Means of Life all killed it and were great to party with as well. We've got a few more songs to write before we get into full swing but we're going to start booking for October right now. We'll see you all soon!

Holy Crap! It's the yearly IKILLYA show! - Oct. 25th, 2009
That's right, it's that time again. However, hopefully, this is the last year it takes us a year to get here. (say that 3 times fast) We've got a whole slew of new songs and we're going to start booking like crazy, so come see us this Saturday at Fontanas (105 Eldridge St) and we'll thank each and every one of you individually. Besides, you know Hung will be throwing down with us and on top of that we're joined by With Daggers Drawn, and Resolution 15!
Bring weapons!!! RSVP HERE

Get our Debut EP for free!
We're on a mission to get 1000 fans at facebook. So, we're reaching out to you, our friends. If we can get 1k fans by Aug 1st, every one of our fans (who have joined us on facebook by that date) will get our debut EP free which should be out by the end of the year. We know it's a bit "pay it forward" but we're hoping you'll be up for the challenge. Find us here!

Ourobous
Unfortunately, that's how we feel. 3 years of what seems like us just eating our tail. On the positive side, we've grown as musicians and as a band in ways I don't think would have been possible otherwise. Of course, I'm speaking of our never-ending guitarist search. All you have to do is scroll down to see the number of times I've said "we're really excited to announce...." followed shortly by "we've parted ways with....". It's quite tiring for us, as I'm sure it is for those of you amazing people who have held the same hope we have.
That having been said, we're really excited to announce (ha) that we've been playing with the best guitarist yet for quite a while now. (over 2 months I think....) Of course, we still want 2, but at this point, we're excited to have one.
For those of you who didn't witness our drunken 2 songs at my birthday party, it looks like we'll be returning to the stage full force on Aug 1. (I'll give you 1 guess who it's with) We'll be at Fontanas with Hung and a few other bands. Of course, we'll play first. I hope to see you out there, if for no other reason than to just have a beer.

Back to the front!
We're back, and we couldn't be happier. IKILLYA returns to the stage Nov 22nd @ The Ace of Clubs in NYC with our good friends Hung. Our new guitarist is killing it and we've got lots of new music for you. We can't wait to see you all!
We're also still keeping our eyes open for a 5th member. If you know anyone who shreds and you think would be a good fit, hit us up!
Make sure you also come join us on www.SkullsNBones.com, the new network dedicated to all things relating to heavy music. See ya soon!

Guitarist FOUND!

Hey friends
Time for round 8. After nearly 7 months of searching, we have found a new guitarist. I know it seems like we've been back and forth with this many times, and we have. However, this new cat is fitting in better than anyone in a long time! We'd like to welcome Stephanos to IKILLYA. We'll have pictures up soon and who knows, we might even start booking!

Searching for Guitarists.....AGAIN
March - 2008

That's right. Once again, we're looking for guitarists. Here's what we're looking for:
We have a dream. We have the dream of a metal band that stays brutal at it's heart but is unafraid to push the expectations of common metal. We have a dream of a metal band that amazes mosh pits and musicians alike. We have a dream that is almost realized. We are searching for a guitarist who shares our dream of domination. We are searching for a guitarist who writes riffs that make you want to punch your mother, solos that sear the skin from your face, melodies that defy you to not sing, and jazz/blues breaks and changes that fortune tellers couldn¹t predict. We have a dream to create a band to rival all conventional metal. We do not claim to have achieved any of this yet, but we are chasing this dream, and all we need is you!!!

We are IKILLYA. We do not care what your influences are as long as you want to make metal. Ours would take too long to list. We don¹t care what color you are, what sex you are, or what planet you are from. Join us. We know you are out there.
