About the event
Established in 2011 featuring Black Sabbath and Dio drummer Vinny Appice and Pantera bassist Rex Brown, Kill Devil Hill has gone through various member alterations, ultimately leading to their impressive current lineup: Johnny Kelly on drums (Type O Negative), Mark Zavon on guitar, Dewey Bragg on vocals, and Matt Snell (ex-Five Finger Death Punch) on bass. The group has teamed up with Chris Bianchi and Legend Recordings to release their new album on September 20th titled “Seas of Oblivion.”
The album combines classic hard rock with tinges of metal, and ultimately bridges the gap between contemporary and classic metal. Band members explored the uniqueness of each song, and explained what this record means to them after their long-awaited return.
After a nearly decade-long hiatus, Kill Devil Hill released their first single, “Blood in the Water”, in February of this year, which is a fast-paced and exciting start to the record. With anthemic vocals and nonstop guitar riffs, this song explores themes of fear and despair - an evocative start to the album, and a perfect way of setting up what’s to come.
“You Can’t Kill Me California”, their second single off the album, features a more aggressive metal approach than many of the group’s other songs - utilizing more screaming than Kill Devil Hills’ typical melodic metal sound.
“Before The Devil Knows”, released in June of this year, is a groovy track with a combination of infectious vocals and thundering guitar. Kill Devil Hills’ songwriting and harmony skills shine through in this one in a major way.
The band’s fourth single, “Playing With Fire” is a grungy, more metal/rock-oriented track, reminiscent of the classic KDH sound. Getting back to basics, the group shows their strengths in this guitar-forward, infectious track.
The album is set to release on September 20th, with iTunes pre-release on September 18th.
