   About THE KILLING FLOOR

- The Killing Floor can be one of those difficult-to-categorize and innovative jam bands working today. The music is breathtaking, ranging from Blues, Rock, Improv-Jam, Latin and transcendental of other sounds and genres in between.

The band was founded by ~Juan Carlos, initially as The JCM Band. The first release was an EP ‘Labor Of Love...’ in 2003, an album with long improv-sections and mostly instrumental with very little vocals, which bears little rendition to the band's current state of mind and sound. And now, ~Juan Carlos has expanded The Killing Floor's sound and creating more experimental, rock/ambient trance with Texas Blues Rock always been their roots.

The Killing Floor will always continues to evolve and confront their expectations to their sound from album to album. In mid 2008, "La Danza Macabra" album became the band first major world wide release and under its own label Carne Evil Records. Thus moving The Killing Floor into a more song-orientated direction. Well for now...

Performing and paying their dues in bar/clubs to large festivals since 2003 locally and regional through out Texas. Hard work and perseverance will always be for the gospel sake of their music against the grain of cliché and trend.

Different incarnation of band members through the years has proven one thing... Their sound has always remained distinctive, signature and honest. Meaningful lyrics and melodic vocals, undulating emotionally driven guitars, poignant groove bass lines, and insistent high-energy drums and percussion is one of many phases that has found its way to their sound.

The Killing Floor’s philosophy and rules are simple… Reinvent yourself, keep it spontaneous, never settle and always love what you do. The Killing Floor is an experience of a labor of love creation and vision of four people will stay and produce music for many years to come.







- THE ALBUM –
Highly anticipated “La Danza Macabra” from The Killing Floor. Is their first and full length album that was offically release world wide on July 1, 2008. Ten tracks were produce by The Killing Floor and recorded at The Rhythm Room studios, San Antonio, Texas with ~Juan Carlos as producer and Peter Carey as co-producer/engineer. Later then mastered by “The Wizard” Jerry Tubbs at Terra Nova studios in Austin, Texas.

So there is no confusing, and Im going to set the story straight, I cant believe Im doing this while I am mourning Jack, People need to keep there opinion to them self, Carlos and I are good, He was there for Jack the last week of his life, He seen what I was going through he seen up close how Jack suffer his last days, and  he was there and took care of Jack Dad all night while we had to go to the rush Jack to the hospital, and the last two nights, he sat up with me and Jill and took turns with 2 hour shifts so Jack would not wake up and be alone, Carlos had to watch Jack gasp to breath, Carlos sat by the bed at just talk to Jack and held his hand so I could get a couple hours of sleep, So before people start running there mouth, they need to know what the hell they are talking about, Carlos was there for Jack and me and the family , not for any other reason , I did not see anyone else set up and help with Jack, Carlos loved Jack and Carlos seen a side of me and Jack that no one will ever know, And I thank Carlos for being there for Jack and being the tru bro that he was
Jack family was so honored to have Carlos with us at the end , Jack was cremated with the rosarie that his mom had blessed for Jack !!
God Bless you Carlos

I am so sorry to hear about Jack. He was probably one of the coolest and most loving people I have ever known. I remember when he came to my house and brought incense as a gift and let Katy play his drums and she thought he was the shit. He really was. I'll miss him and his crazy drum solos.
