KILL YOUR (Hello) KITTY.
What a primitive pun.
The sound of the four Berliners is anything but primitive.
The band has been active for 4 years, initially taking it a bit easy. They found their footing, rehearsed, and gained their first live experiences. Just how new bands do it. Some musical experiences from the sadly defunct band Victim of Reality were present. A new band is like a new life. It takes time to orient oneself.
The recordings of the eight songs I have were made in 2013. The wait has definitely paid off, as can be heard in the songs. The arrangements sound refined. The songs are played cleanly and the recording is very well done.
Three ingredients that speak for a good review.
In fact, the record is quite enjoyable.
KILL YOUR KITTY plays a mix of rock, metal, and hardcore. The band also cites punk as an influence, but I hear little of that kind of music on the CD.
It is modern metal sound with excursions into hardcore and some rock elements.
The guitar brings the melodies forth in a broad sound. The drums are powerfully mixed, and the vocals, sometimes clean, sometimes shouted, and sometimes growled, fit very well into the songs. As mentioned, the arrangements are good.
However, after multiple listens, I wonder where the band wants to go with this sound.
What sounds very catchy and good at first later comes across as a genre mix that will probably appeal to only a few. Likely, it will be the metal fans who will first appreciate the sound of the Berliners.
The four guys from KILL YOUR KITTY are putting in the effort and have something to offer, but I still miss a clear style, a distinct profile here.
