KILL THE THRILL are blessed with an elusive vision. Over the past 30 years, the French duo have been dreaming up an abrasive-but-hypnotic blend of industrial rock, post-punk and dark wave.
Their new album, Autophagie, immerses audiences in a cinematic fever dream that would give David Lynch nightmares. The title track swarms with feedback-laden guitars, while “Capitan” crests into an industrial-sized groove. “They come back from afar / With nothing”, Nicolas Dick sings on “A la dérive”, his voice raw with bitterness, straining each note to a breaking point.

“Autophagie was composed through the prism of a violent distortion of the things that are passed on to us”, says Kill The Thrill, “but also of our own strangeness, and of us humans, who contemplate them fascinated, imagining ourselves to be in control of everything until we forget where man came from. We’re delighted that Season Of Mist are signing us again, giving us a window on the whole world, or almost the whole world, so that our music can be heard.”
Praise for Kill The Thrill and Autophagie:
“A great post-punk album that doesn’t shy away from musical experiments…haunting, exciting and beautifully arranged” – Power Metal
“Too sparse for metal, too morbid for new wave, too humanized for industrial, and definitely too alternative for alternative rock” – All Music
“Relentlessly heavy…overwhelmingly atmospheric” – Sputnik Music
