0 KILL NO ALBATROSS Premiere New Video “Apex Predator”; New EP “Speak True Evil” Out July 13th
(contact info below)
NEWS RELEASE
Montreal, QC – June 8, 2018
For fans of Alter Bridge, Breaking Benjamin, Fightstar, Stone Sour, Thrice, Big Wreck, Three Days Grace
Canadian Alt-Metal Rock KILL NO ALBATROSS Premiere New Video “Apex Predator” via SpaceUntravel
New EP “Speak True Evil” Out July 13th

For wildly energetic Burlington, ON based KILL NO ALBATROSS, intertwining the accessibility of rock, the technicality of prog, and the energy of hardcore is the name of the game. Through intelligent songwriting, creative guitar work, and emotional intensity, they meld dynamic, bold, bewitching sounds to create no holds barred rock.
2018 started with a bang, as the band performed as part of Canadian Music Week and attained coveted slots on the Vans Warped Tour and Burlington’s Sound of Music Festival. That momentum will continue when their forthcoming EP, “Speak True Evil” is released on July 13th, 2018. Going forward, the band intends to expand the dynamics of their unique sound, traversing softer and heavier territory without compromising the meticulousness they are becoming known for. They are excited to develop as musicians and a band along with touring their home country and bringing their signature wild energy to every stage along the way.
The band comments:
“Speak True Evil is a showcase for Kill No Albatross’ dynamic, technically proficient, intellectual approach to rock music. These four songs cover musical ground that ranges from furious to sweet, hopeful to agonized. The powerful vocals of Kyle Collins pair with the tight, impassioned instrumentation to create a unique sound that is as meticulous as it is robust. Going more in depth on the release, it plays off the title of Wayne Shorter’s 1966 jazz record “Speak No Evil”; “Speak True Evil” asserts the legitimacy of free speech as asserted by thinkers like Mill, Paine, Luxemburg, and Hitchens. As Mill writes, ‘If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.’ After all, it is as much the right of the listener to hear as it is the speaker to talk – enforced silence imprisons man in the cage of his own perspective. The title, then, encourages listeners to speak true evil.”
Leading up to the release of “Speak True Evil”, KNA has teamed up with SpaceUntravel for the premiere of their new music video for their first single “Apex Predator”.
The band adds:
“Apex Predator” is the angriest song on the record. Driven by a heavy guitar riff and ferocious drums, the song features a catchy chorus and a wild bridge, and showcases the harsher side of Kyle Collins’ vocals. To better embody the emotional lilt of the song – anger is at once uninhibited and, on some level, embarrassing – the band recorded the song naked.”
Watch it now at the following link:

“Kill No Albatross has a meticulously crafted collection of progressive alternative rock with a strong cerebral element… they can seriously play.” – Ric Taylor, VIEW Magazine
“A sound I really enjoy… I love the song Eos.” – Mat Boiselle, 102.1 The Edge & 91.7 Erin Radio
“Ontario’s Kill No Albatross is one of “those” bands. The rockers are well on their way to getting some early attention… certainly a band you will want to keep an eye on in the near future.” – Bradley Dillon, The New Fury
“Ferocity and sweetness. Kill No Albatross will coax you in with soothing vocal melodies and destroy you with high energy riffage. Five-piece powerhouse rockers. Animal friendly.” – Keegan Ro, MAT/H Magazine
“Attention grabbing tracks that can gain the respect of discerning music critics while still grabbing the ears of more casual rock fans… Lost in Darkness and Distance already shows the band has a grip on balancing the heavy, the melodic, and the technical.” – Donte Montgomery, The Haystack Music
