KILLER BE KILLED, the new band comprised of Max Cavalera (SOULFLY, ex-SEPULTURA), Greg Puciato (THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN), Troy Sanders (MASTODON) and Dave Elitch (ex-THE MARS VOLTA), will release their debut album on May 9th (Europe), May 12th (UK) and May 13th (North America) via Nuclear Blast Entertainment.

"Well, I think this is a special record, Max Cavalera tells Noisefull's Chris Karadimitris. "When you create something that you know is different - even before anyone else has heard it - there is a magic about it, which maybe won't be able to be repeated again. It's a once in a lifetime record, similar to Nailbomb, which was created in the same way. It was something really exciting that we can't really recreate. I am so glad that Killer Be Killed is so different from Nailbomb. I didn't want to try and recreate something that had already been done. I am very happy that Killer Be Killed has its own identity."

The album is available for pre-order in several physical bundles here. Fans can also purchase the first single 'Wings Of Feather And Wax' via iTunes, and pre-order the album digitally.

The upcoming self-titled release was produced and mixed by Josh Wilbur whose production credits include work with GOJIRA, LAMB OF GOD, HATEBREED, AVENGED SEVENFOLD, ESCAPE THE FATE, P!NK and STEVE EARLE. Cover art and packaging was executed by Ryan Clark of Invisible Creature Design, the Grammy nominated design firm whose clients include ALICE IN CHAINS, FOO FIGHTERS, CHRIS CORNELL, DEVILDRIVER, MONSTER MAGNET, WOLFMOTHER, and DEMON HUNTER.

“He's a Polish worker in the back of a dark truck, but he looked like a criminal to me,” explains Clark about his choice for the cover's image. “Multiplying his face seemed to give him a sort of split personality/schizophrenic vibe, which feels like a good mesh. Not just for the band name but the idea of a (for the lack of a better term) super-group.”
