Commented Olly Hahn, A&R representative at Steamhammer/SPV: "It's a great pleasure to welcome KILL DEVIL HILL to the SPV family. It's not only because of Rex Brown and Vinny Appice, mostly it's because of their music and that they are a real band. Music-wise, they don't neglect their past but they also give some fresh elements to our beloved music genre called heavy metal!"
KILL DEVIL HILL recently finished demoed around 10 songs, which, according to Appice, sound "like a cross between BLACK SABBATH, ALICE IN CHAINS and a little bit of LED ZEPPELIN thrown in. It's heavy, but with a lot of cool hooks and melodic overtones, too."
The members of KILL DEVIL HILL previously stated about their songwriting and recording approach, "We are going old school meets new; no sample drums here!!"
KILL DEVIL HILL made its live debut on April 29 at the Key Club in Hollywood, California.
