American rock band
Not to be confused with The Kill Devil Hills.
The band's sound has been described as "heavy and modern without succumbing to typical contemporary hardcore trappings – indecipherable vocals or overused blast beats."[3]
History
Kill Devil Hill released their self-titled debut album in May 2012. They toured the US with rock band Adrenaline Mob.[4]
On March 10, 2014, it was announced that Vinny Appice had left the band in order to commit to other things and projects, and that former Type O Negative drummer Johnny Kelly was his replacement.[5] Appice later stated his leaving the band was due to the lack of punctuality of his other bandmates.[6][7]
The band performed on Motörhead's Boat Cruise in September 2014 and after touring, the band started to write another album with their new member Johnny Kelly.[8] They decided to record at Stagg Street Studios in California with help from engineer Josh Newell (Linkin Park, In This Moment).[8]
