Description
killthelogo is a new band and the next stage in the project that was .calibre. This is not a reunion in practice, but it certainly is a reunion in spirit. Vocalist Daniel Mies and guitarist Niko Poortmans are two founding members of the original line-up. Over 16 years after terminating the .calibre project, they are joined by Sven Leyemberg on guitar, Herwig Scheck on bass and Jonas Sanders on drums.
killthelogo’s full length album is a fact. 12 tracks of uncompromising sound and content. This album respectfully revisits the ‘90s metal sound with a fresh and strong message.
This is definitely the follow-up music of the 2002 release 'Kill The Logo', by .calibre. So you can expect guitar based rock with hardcore and nu-metal influences.
Co-produced with former .calibre producer Jo Francken (Tamino, Novastar, …) and mixed by the great David Bottrill (Tool, Muse, dEUS, Dreamtheater, Placebo, Peter Gabriel, …)
‘Reset’ is an audio-bomb waiting to detonate. From the unapologetic opener ‘Riot As One’ to the +9 min epic closer ‘Translucent’ killthelogo is firing on all cylinders. There’s heavy & snappy riffing on brand new single ‘Buy More Sh!t’, ‘The Deep State’ and the jarring ‘Fuck Your Data’. There’s dark and furious fretwork and nasty gangvocals on ‘Conspiracy’. ‘Iconoclast’ combines a monumental chorus with more melodic almost balladry verses. ‘Clear as Day’ is a maze of curveballs, riffs and counter-rythms and the face-melting ‘Taxes’ is as frantic as a wasp nest set on fire.
