DRUID LORD + KILLING ADDICTION

DRUID LORD (us) – Hell’s Headbangers Records

Druid Lord was formed in Orlando, Florida the year 2010 by guitarist Pete Slate (Acheron, Equinox) and bassist/vocalist Tony Blakk (Acheron, Equinox, Diabolic) both veterans of the early 90’s FL Death Metal scene. The band's primary intent was and still is writing crushing songs in the haunting Death/Doom vein giving the listener a feeling of constant dread and suffering. The first few years saw the band record their 1st full length album “Hymns for the Wicked” and ep’s such as “Baron Blood” and “Druid Death Cult” among others. The band released their 2nd full length album "Grotesque Offerings" in 2018 thus continuing Inspiration from 70's old horror films from Lucio Fulci, Mario Bava, Dario Argento. In 2022 Druid Lord released their latest gloomy offering “Relics of the Dead” on Hells Headbangers with Elden Santos on drums and Chris Wicklein (Killing Addiction) on second guitar. "Relics.." takes the band back their death metal roots combining more aggressive, sinister riffing with heavy, eerie musical passages that the band is known for. Druid Lord is ready to return to European soil appearing at KTDF in 2023.

Killing Addiction (us) - Xtreem Music

Killing Addiction is a veteran death metal band from central Florida with an established name that spans a history greater than thirty years. Formed in 1988, they were among the bands who helped pioneer the early Florida death metal scene, and their first full-length recording, Omega Factor (JL America/Relativity Records), is considered a minor classic of American death metal. Unlike many bands with such a long lifespan, Killing Addiction’s lineup has remained largely unchanged over their career. Founding members Chad and Pat Bailey (guitar; bass/vocals, respectively), along with Chris Wicklein (guitar), were joined shortly after, in 1992, by Chris York (drums) to form what is considered the band’s classic lineup. The Bailey brothers and Wicklein had written and performed on all Killing Addiction recordings until Chad’s untimely death in 2016, with York performing drums on all but three recordings in their discography. Most recently, Devon McDonough was added as the newest permanent member (guitar) in 2020. The thematic focus of Killing Addiction is about the bleakness of human vice. This theme is combined with musical influences that draw upon the early years of death metal and thrash. Over the years, Killing Addiction has performed live with genre giants such as Obituary, Atheist, Deicide, Incantation, Exhumed, Gruesome, DRI, Destruction, Warbringer, Jungle Rot, and many others.
