Killer Be Killed announce new album ‘Reluctant Hero’

KILLER BE KILLED have announced a new album!

Titled Reluctant Hero, the upcoming album from the metal supergroup, featuring Max Cavalera [SOULFLY/ex-SEPULTURA], Ben Koller [CONVERGE, MUTOID MAN], Greg Puciato [THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN/THE BLACK QUEEN] and Troy Sanders [MASTODON/GONE IS GONE], is the long-awaited follow up to 2014’s self-titled effort. The new album is scheduled to be released in November this year, via Nuclear Blast Records.

Alongside the announcement of the eagerly awaited new album, the band have released the first song from the upcoming album; Deconstructing Self-Destruction. The new song highlights the outfit’s unique approach to vocals with Cavalera, Puciato and Sanders all lending their voices to not only the single but all of the tracks on Reluctant Hero.

“This has been a long time coming. It feels great to be getting this out,” said Puciato of the Josh Wilbur [LAMB OF GOD/GOJIRA] produced album as well as the single. “Also can I say that Troy‘s verse vocals are fucking insane? What an entrance! Go for a drive and roll the windows down and crank this thing up.”
