Killer Be Killed to record 2nd album

Metal supergroup Killer Be Killed will release their second album next year, Max Cavalera has confirmed.

It follows the self-titled debut he launched last year alongside The Dillinger Escape Plan’s Greg Puciato, Mastodon’s Troy Sanders and The Mars Volta’s Dave Elitch.

Cavalera tells Metal Hammer: “There’s another Killer Be Killed record coming next year, and more Cavalera Conspiracy stuff in the future.

“At this point I’m just letting it roll. Whatever happens will happen – that’s my attitude. I’m not forcing anything. If it happens, great; if not then it’s still okay.”

He adds of a reunion with Sepultura: “I think it’d be cool to go back and play those classic songs a couple more times, for the fans that didn’t see it the first time around. I would love to do it for them – but if it doesn’t happen, it’s all good and life still goes on.”

Puciato revealed earlier this year that Killer Be Killed hadn’t planned to tour until their debut shows at Australia’s Soundwave festival.

He said: “We’re going to try and squeeze in whatever we can, probably towards the end of the year. We’ve talked about the UK and the US. I just know we’re going to play.”

The full feature will appear on the _Metal Hammer _website later this week – stay tuned.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
