Killrazer endorses Dean Markley strings

MURDERS IN THE RUE MORGUE - WITH PAUL DIANNO - MELBOURNE 30/05/09

BIOGRAPHY

Killrazer is a metal band from Sydney, Australia that plays a mix of old-school thrash and technical death metal. Featuring some of the most well-known and experienced musicians from the Sydney metal scene, Killrazer’s sound is highlighted by a blistering twin-vocal attack along with virtuoso guitar and drum work.

As well as being one of Sydney’s top headline metal acts, Killrazer have supported a number of international touring bands including Children of Bodom, Malevolent Creation, Sodom, Vader, Krisun and Dismember.

In May/June 2009 Killrazer toured Australia and New Zealand as the backing band for Paul Dianno – the legendary original Iron Maiden vocalist.

Killrazer was formed in 2005 by guitarist/vocalist Doug Dalton (Crucifix, Suiciety, Grungeon, Blown [USA], Dark Order), bassist/vocalist Zoran Mrakic (Dark Order, Devine Electric), and drummer Mick McCartney (Dark Order, Vaticide). After Mick left the band due to family reasons, Doug and Zoran continued to write and fine-tune the Killrazer songs, with Luke Cook (Mortal Sin) helping out with rehearsals until permanent members could be found.

In early 2007 drummer Grahame Goode (Infernal Method, Automation, Deadspawn, Cryogenic) joined the band, with guitarist and good friend Andrew Lilley (Infernal Method, Psi-Core, Mortality) helping out on a temporary basis.

Killrazer played their first shows in April 2007, supporting Vader on the Sydney and Melbourne legs of their Australian tour. Shortly thereafter, they supported German thrash legends Sodom in Sydney.

‘Australian Guitar Magazine Guitarist of the Year’ Jimmy Lardner-Brown (Vaticide) joined the band in late 2007 to complete the line-up.

2008 saw Killrazer gig regularly - supporting some of Australia's top metal acts, performing their own headline shows, and supporting prominent touring bands such as Children of Bodom.

Killrazer recorded a debut EP in mid 2008. Released later that year, it features three diverse tracks that capture the raw energy and technical precision of Killrazer’s live thrash assault, along with crisp production courtesy of jENK (Mortality, Cryogenic.)

In March 2009 Killrazer supported Floridian death metal legends Malevolent Creation on their east coast Australian tour.

Weeks prior to the Paul Dianno tour, Grahame Goode abruptly quit the band. Pete Hunt (ex Dragonforce, Marshall Law) was enlisted to capably fill-in on drum duties.

After the successful completion of the Dianno tour, drummer Luke Cook rejoined the band as a permanent member.
