Style : Heavy Metal
Country : Belgium
Audio : 320 kbps + all scans
Size : 141 mb
Info:
Was founded in 1980 by Paul “ Shorty” Van Camp (lead guitar + lead vocals) and “Fat Leo” (drums) who had just splitted up their previous band “Mothers of Track”.After a few auditions “Spooky” (bassguitar + lead vocals) joined the band. They decided to stay a powertrio and started working on the songs.Already after 4 months a first record “Ready for Hell” was recorded and released by major company WEA (Warner Bros).After this release Killer knew a very fast evolution and became a well respected and major band allover Europe and even abroad. Killer was managed and adviced by Alfie Falkenbach, Leo Felsenstein and Stonne Holmgren, the guys who later founded “Mausoleum”, one of the first independent Heavy Metal labels.“Killer” was the first Belgian metalband inspired by upcoming success of the NWOBHM bands such as Saxon, Iron Maiden, Def Leppard etc.Due to the trio formula, the rough voices, speedy uptempos, and double bassdrums, Killer was always compared with “Motorhead”. This was rather an honour than an insult.Killer and Motorhead were speedy bands long before the existing of “Metallica”, so in a way we were innovators in the early eighties. Although “Killer” was not punky but always very melodic.
Album:
From the outset in 1980 the power trio was embraced by a myriad of loyal fans all over the world. Their first three albums; “Ready For Hell”, “Wall Of Sound” and especially “Shockwaves”, were unanimously lauded by aficionados and critics alike, rubberstamped heavy metal masterpieces of the 80s. By the mid-eighties the band played prestigious festivals, toured the whole of Europe, and sold albums from Tokyo to Rio de Janeiro and from Moscow to New York, and just about everywhere in between. A noteworthy climax being a tour of Poland in 1986, where for the duration they played for captive audiences numbering no less than 10.000 eager fans each night.Killer’s fourth album, “Fatal Attraction”, eagerly awaited by fans for over five years, was another success. By 1991 however Grunge music ruled the world and Killer (by then a quartet) took a step back. Later that year founding member, guitarist/ vocalist Shorty released a solo album entitled “Too Wild To Tame” under his last name: Van Camp. The album sounded as if it could have been Killer, volume IV. In May 2002, a reformed Killer were joined by Doro (Warlock), Ostrogoth and Crossfire, headlining the sold-out Mausoleum Records 20th Anniversary Concert. The overwhelming success lead to the recording of “Broken Silence”, an album featuring great anthem-like songs, as well as, for the very first time: keyboards. The 2005 follow-up, “Immortal”, once again more prominently featured Shorty’s trademark guitar sound.
