Generally associated with the industrial music movement, the band has dabbled with a variety of sounds during its career, ranging from alternative rock, to ambient goth, to darker new wave, and heavy metal.[2] The band's musical eclecticism led to a cult following among its selective audience.[2][3][4] The band has cited Killing Joke, Godflesh, Swans and The Young Gods as influences.[5] During its career, Kill the Thrill has also released records sporadically, including Dig (1993), Low (1996), 203 Barriers (2003), and Tellurique (2005).[2] Their third album, 203 Barriers, featured contributions from Michael Gira of Swans.[1][5]
Kill the Thrill also performed as a supporting act for bands such as Killing Joke, The Young Gods, Einstürzende Neubauten and Treponem Pal.[6]
