Bio
Killer Aspect
..play rock, really loudly.

Having released their first single "TV" to Finnish radio in December 2007, the song received a large amount of airplay as well as going straight to 1 on Ylex' Himotuimmat charts - the top position was a positive surprise to the band who hadn't previously released anything. Their debut single was later released in stores in January 2008 and their second radio single "Bloodshot" would soon follow in March 2008 to precede the release of their (in some communities) long awaited debut album "How Does It Work?" on April 30th 2008.

It all starts back in 2004...The story is long but we'll try to cut it down.

Back then, when Finnish band Killer decided to go their separate ways, it certainly wasn't because bassist, Timo, and drummer, Teijo, had run out of ideas. In fact, shortly after they were playing around with the idea of a new band.
Well, since the two weren't intending to found a drum 'n' bass band, their plans started taking more shape after talking to guitarist, Samuli, who at the time played in a band called Personal Aspect (but nowadays goes by "The Winyls") They had a few drinks and spent an evening jamming, and after that they got him on board as well.

Nevertheless, a rock band needs a little bit more than a guitar, bass and drums to truly conquer. From the start they also included Jukka, keyboard, since he was a good friend and had been a long time instalment in Killer's live shows.

Of course, even with a keyboard the band wasn't complete but that changed when the group finally found singer, Max, fronting a cover band, blowing the audience away with his excellent cover song skills. The guys convinced him to become a part of the band and it proved to be the perfect choice, they now had a captain. Boarding completed.

The band's name would rise from a combination of the band member's previous bands so Killer Aspect, it was. Ready to rock your world.

Throughout the years, the band went through a few line-up changes: Jukka and Timo left the band, second guitarist Valeri (or “Vallu”) joined and in spring 2009, the now four-piece started to write new demo material in Max’ hometown Kotka and later that year they started recording their second album in the Sonic Kitchen studios. The release of the upcoming album is set for 2010 – so stay tuned and keep checking www.myspace.com/killeraspect and the facebook fanpage for release details!
