Kill The Lights (Ex-Bullet For My Valentine, Etc.) Stream Cover Of Metallica’s “Battery”

Posted by caemanamelio on

Kill The Lights are streaming a cover of Metallica‘s “Battery.“ Drummer Michael “Moose” Thomas (ex-Bullet For My Valentine) told Knotfest.com the following about that:

“We were talking about doing another ‘Quarantine Cover’ after we had so much fun covering ‘Into The Pit‘ by Testament, and it was obvious that we had to try and top that. In my mind, I’ve always wanted to cover anything off the amazingly good ‘Master Of Puppets‘, and it came down to a choice between ‘Disposable Heroes‘ or ‘Battery.’ We chose the latter just because we all agreed that it would be a good challenge to hopefully do justice to. And of course, we’re massive Metallica fans (who isn’t?) and we had a fun time tracking it.”

Kill The Lights (Ex-Bullet For My Valentine, Etc.) Premiere “Through The Night” Video, Reveal Details For New Album “The Sinner”

Posted by caemanamelio on

Kill The Lights (ex-Bullet For My Valentine, etc.) have premiered a new video for their new song “Through The Night.” This track is from the band’s new album “The Sinner,” which will be released on August 21.

Frontman James Clark commented:

“The song very personally hits home for me. I have struggled for the longest time with anxiety and depression and ‘Through the Night‘ is a snapshot of what is going through the mind of someone struggling with these types of mental health issues.

The song takes you on a roller coaster ride and captures the ups and downs of someone carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders, going from happy and energetic one minute to being paralyzed by fear and worry the next.”

“Luckily, I found just enough strength to speak up and get some help. I will be the first person to admit I still find it hard to share feelings and talk about my problems. Sharing my struggles through my lyrics is a form of rehab for me — it allows me to be honest and open while still being able to hide behind the music.

I hope that this song truly connects with listeners who feel trapped and alone with these types of feelings and that it empowers them to reach out and get the help they might need.”

“The Sinner” Track Listing:

01. “Shed My Skin”
02. “The Faceless”

07. “Tear Me Apart”

Kill The Lights (ex-Bullet For My Valentine, etc.) have shared a quarantine cover of Testament’s “Into The Pit.” Michael “Moose” Thomas commented:

“There were a ton of cover songs options we could have gone with, and we did consider covering a pop song in our style. But we decided to cover ‘Into The Pit‘ by the mighty Testament purely because it’s a classic song that’s fun to play. We wanted to stay true to the original as closely as possible, to pay our respects to metal royalty. A great song by an amazing band.”

Kill The Lights (Ex-Bullet For My Valentine, Etc.) Premiere “Plagues” Video

Posted by caemanamelio on

Kill The Lights (ex-Bullet For My Valentine, etc.) have premiered a new video for their new song “Plagues.” James Clark (ex-Throw The Fight) commented:

“Lyrically, ‘Plagues‘ deals with the fear of being alone, and feelings of isolation away from family, friends, and loved ones. It forces you to take a hard look at yourself and accept that we are all vulnerable and need human interaction and love. It reminds us to take each day for what it is, and to make the best of bad situations — because nothing is guaranteed.”

Kill The Lights (Ex-Bullet For My Valentine, Etc.) Sign With Fearless Records, Premiere “Shed My Skin” Video

Posted by caemanamelio on

Kill The Lights (ex-Bullet For My Valentine, etc.) have signed a new deal with Fearless Records. With this news, the band have also premiered a new video for their new song “Shed My Skin.” James Clark (ex-Throw The Fight) commented:

“‘Shed My Skin‘ is about accepting the ‘real’ you and being comfortable with yourself. It’s about understanding that we are all broken and we are all flawed. We need to stop struggling in silence and need to reach out and ask for help before it’s too late. I personally struggle with anxiety, depression, and self-esteem issues, and some days life can be too much and I’m ok admitting that — because that is the true me. As the lyrics say, ‘I’m not bleeding. I’m just broken, and ready to shed my skin.’ We are all the same — I am you.”

Kill The Lights (Ex-Bullet For My Valentine, Etc.) Finishing Up Debut Album

Posted by caemanamelio on

Kill The Lights, the band featuring Michael “Moose” Thomas (ex-Bullet For My Valentine), James Clark (Throw The Fight), Jordan Whelan (Still Remains), Travis Montgomery (Threat Signal), and Davey Richmond (Glamour Of The Kill), have offered an update on their current plans via Facebook. According to the group, the “process [for their new album] is almost complete.”

Here’s the band’s full update::

“Hey guys,

We know it’s been quiet on here lately, since we released our debut single ‘The Faceless’ in January, and ‘Watch You Fall’ a short time later.

Originally, we weren’t sure how people were going to react to our band, or if they’d even care. We knew that a lot of you knew some of us from our previous bands, but we knew that would count for nothing if our new music didn’t connect with you.

After seeing the amazing response to our first tracks and all the love from our fanbases old and new, we felt like we owed it to you and to ourselves to go away and make sure that when we do drop our debut full length record, it’ll be the best record possible.

We’re pleased to say that the process is almost complete, and we’ll have more news for you on that very soon – as well as some other exciting news which means that we’re finally going to be able to get out and see you guys in the flesh and give you the best KTL show possible.

Thank you all so much for staying patient. We promise that the wait will be worth it.

In the meantime, feel free to share our music with your friends. More of that coming very soon.

James, Jordan, Moose, Travis & Davey.”

Kill The Lights, the new band featuring ex-Bullet For My Valentine drummer Michael “Moose” Thomas, Throw The Fight frontman James Clark, Still Remains guitarist Jordan Whelan, Threat Signal guitarist Travis Montgomery, and Glamour Of The Kill bassist Davey Richmond, have premiered a new video for their new song “The Faceless.” You can check that out below:

Thomas said the following about the band:

“I’m super grateful and excited to be back. I can’t wait for everyone to hear this. When I parted company with the old band, musically I was just sitting around doing fuck all and realized I had worked too hard and come too far to turn around. I thought I’d get in touch with Jordan and sent him a text asking, ‘Got any riffs or what?!’ Before I knew it, he had sent me 30 or 40 songs. I was like, ‘Erm, okay!’ I couldn’t believe it.”

Clark also added the following about the song:

“We all want to do something fresh, and for me it was about exploring some of the throwback metal more like Maiden or Priest that I felt had gotten lost over the years, but in a new way. ‘The Faceless‘ is a song for those that have spent their lives in the shadows, never felt good enough, or just struggled to fit in or feel a part of something. The song is a message to the broken… it’s time to be seen, it’s time to be heard. From darkness to light we are all the same – we are the faceless.”
