With seven members including two singers and a percussionist their music is influenced by several different bands in the Metal/hardcore/rock- genre, such as Slipknot, Architects, Parkway Drive, Upon A Burning body, Every Time I die. During the spring of 2015, the band entered Studio Radionika to begin the recording of their debut album, from which the first single ‘Caged’ was released later that summer. The single was followed by several live shows around Sweden to build up the brand Kill the Kong on the Swedish metal scene. With their energetic “in your face” live shows, they quickly got recognized as a force to be reckoned with. After releasing two more singles, ‘Black Bones’ and ‘Is This the End’, Kill the Kong finally released their highly anticipated self-titled debut album in February 2016. The album received a warm welcome, both by critics, fans and on social media. Kill the Kong continued to play several live shows around Sweden, but also abroad, while simultaneously writing new material. In August of 2016 they recorded two new singles, ‘Bring the Heat’ and ‘Ashes in the Wind’. Both songs were released with music videos during the fall and winter of 2016/17. Shortly after releasing these singles the band signed a record deal with GAIN / Sony Music (Avatar, Europe, Hardcore Superstar). During the spring and summer of 2017 Kill the Kong once again entered Studio Radionika, this time to start the recording of their second full-length album. The first single ‘Juggernaut (Wolfpack)’ was released in June 2017, followed by ‘Snake Eyes’ and ‘The Antagonist’, which were released in August and October. The album titled ‘Colossus’, will be released on November 24th through GAIN / Sony Music. Kill the Kong is gaining ground and growing bigger every day, with new fans and listeners joining the Kong-family. The band currently has over 1.5 million streams on Spotify. Make sure to follow a band that’s got the world before their feet, and tag along on a voyage of scale. In early 2019, the band and vocalist Sebastian parted ways. After several months of searching, Dennis Andersson was announced as a new member of Kill The Kong in May 2019. The new single INTERSTELLAR was released September 27th 2019, and shows not only how the band has managed to take their energetic hardcore/metal sound further, but also how the new vocalist, Dennis, has evolved the sound of the band.

I close my eyes, I see a black ring of wings
Always within me, always near
I float away from myself and see a hole in my head
My soul is leaking for you to take it
Stay away, we see time is bending, chasing silhouettes
The axe falls today,
let come what may and I don't care
The world you know will burst
Let come what may, I don't care
Chasing silhouettes
My teeth where sharp now they seem to decay
I need something to bite through, something to break
As I close my eyes, I see myself burning
alive
You waste my time, pollute my mind, left me out to die
Learning how to navigate in a sea of past mistakes
I've been chasing silhouettes for so long I ́ve been a quiet pretender
Reading faces, I cannot help it, need a place where I am someone else
Somewhere I can find the animal in me
Chasing silhouettes
You had me right exactly where you wanted me
My limbs where shaped to your needs
I will go way out of line, now witness me electrified
Time was wasted in between the days we thought we had
I will go
way out of line every waking hour
I've been chasing silhouettes for so long I ́ve been a quiet pretender
Reading faces, I cannot help it, need a place where I am someone else
Somewhere I can find the animal in me
Stay away we see time is bending, chasing silhouettes
The axe falls today, let come what may and I don't care
I've been chasing silhouettes for so long I ́ve been a quiet pretender
Speak up, kill the silhouettes
Reading faces, I cannot help it, need a place where I am someone else
Somewhere I can find the animal in me
Now be afraid of the animal in me
That part of me that is the animal in me
The axe will fall today, let come what may and I don't care
You will never, never see me fall I'll bash right through it all
Need a place where I am someone else
Now that I have found the animal in me
