In times when music has become somewhat stale and predictable, Generation Kill has delivered the Heavy Music community a fresh sounding, hard hitting crushing display of adrenaline, via their new album entitled "Red, White and Blood". The band is fronted by Exodus' vocalist Rob Dukes, who joined forces with his good friend Rob Moschetti (ex-Pro Pain & M.O.D.) in order to create music without an agenda.
This past Saturday (December 31, 2011), That Metal Show's Don Jamieson chose 'Red, White and Blood' as his "Pick Of The Week". Here is what Jamieson had to say about the bands debut album:
"My buddy Rob Dukes who is the singer in Exodus now, has a new album with a band called Generation Kill. It's a great album with a Punk tinged Thrash sound... which is not easy to say on television. And it's very Heavy! Uber Heavy! "
Here is the clip:
On Friday the 13th of January, Generation Kill will be headlining the first-ever "Underground Metal Friday's" at Fontana's Bar in New York City! Here is the official event flier.
Recently, the band premiered the NEW video clip for their song "Red White and Blood". The video clip offers a full concept telling the all too real story of a war veteran turned serial killer through his traumatic experiences at the front. Concept by Rob Dukes (Exodus). Check it out!

\m/ BIOGRAPHY:
These Americans absolutely know what they are doing and it could hardly be done better. This should come as no surprise as Generation Kill was formed by current Exodus frontman Rob Dukes and Rob Moschetti (ex-Pro Pain, M.O.D.). Drawing deeply from their roots that show through openly, the duo enlisted two lead guitarist/song writers to introduce a whole new dimension. While Jason Trenczer is a master of technical guitar work, Lou Lehman adds his catchy riffs and solos.
Newest edition to the band is Powerhouse Drummer Jim DeMaria. Jim adds an extra dose of speed and power with his Hardcore/Thrash background. Generation Kill is not a side
project! "Red White and Blood" will give you the thrashing of your
life!

The band is fronted by Exodus' vocalist Rob Dukes, who joined forces with his good friend Rob Moschetti (ex-Pro Pain & M.O.D.) in order to create music without an agenda.
Ever since their inception, the original concept of the band was to break away from a predictable formula of music. They consciously decided to blend in elements of Thrash Metal, Hardcore, and various other musical styles, in order to embrace their roots. Prove of this sonic crossover of music can be found on their new album "Red, White and Blood", in which each song has its own identity and mood, which gives the band a signature sound without ever abandoning their influences.
The band recently took over the "Heavy Metal Mecca", Duff's Brooklyn, to celebrate the release of "Red, White and Blood" (out now via Season Of Mist). During the Metallic event, we had the chance to chat with members of the band about the formation of Generation Kill, the creation of "Red, White and Blood", and their future plans.
Speaking of the bands future plans, they will be performing at the 2011 "Hixon Helloween Fest" on Saturday, October 29 at The Trash Bar in Brooklyn. Click here for more details.
Without further due, here is our interview with Generation Kill! Sit back, relax, crank it up, and spread the word!

Last night Sick Of It All celebrated their 25th Anniversary at the Webster Hall in New York City. Joining them for a night of real deal Hardcore, were Snapcase, Merauder and Razorblade Handgrenade. We got their as the venue was starting to get filled up, and within 30 minutes it was completely packed with over 1400 kids.
Razorblade Handgrenade from New Jersey kicked off the festivities with some old school style of Hardcore Punk, and as usual got the pit warmed up with some straight up bashing. As soon as the mighty Merauder stepped on stage, they delivered the Gangster Hardcore Metal which they have been notorious for since their inception in 1990. We had a chance to interview their charismatic front-man Jorge Rosado, so keep your eyes and ears peeled for this very special/comical interview!
By the time Snapcase stepped on stage, Webster Hall was one huge Hardcore party. It is amazing to see a room full of people united by their common love of music. If there is one thing that Snapcase knows how to do, is to get people jumping out of control with their perfect blend of Hardcore, Punk and Metal.
As soon as Snapcase stepped of the stage, the crowd started growing anxious as they awaited for their home town heroes to bring their old school antics to a packed venue full of old and new fans. While Sick Of It All are known for bringing a smile into peoples faces, they are also known for inspiring their fans to slam into each other out of control, to stage dive into each other to and make them lose their voice.
After 25 years you might think that they are getting old and mellowing out. Yeah right! Sick Of It All delivers the most energetic display of aggression wherever they may roam. Last night Lou's vocals sounded crisp and chaotic (like they should), Pete's guitar tone made Webster Hall vibrate uncontrollably, Craig's bass made everyone's hearts feel the power, and Armand's drums sounded tight as hell. No surprise there right? After all we are talking about the World Champions Of Hardcore, yes we said it. Last night Sick Of It All proved that they are the World Champions! We have tons of video coming very soon, as well as a very special post show interview with SOIA's singer Lou Koller.
We want to congratulate Sick Of It All for keeping their music intact and powerful for 25 years! We also want to thank all the fans for making it a legendary night, were there were no major incidents. As announced last night by Sick Of It All, they will be performing at this years Black N Blue Bowl on May 28th! Get your tickets today, because this show will also sell out!
"Thank you to everyone who came out to our 25th anniversary show! It was a great turn out, great to see all our old friends! Thanks to Snapcase who we couldn't have done this show with out, Merauder and Raorblade Handgrenade! Special thanks to our crew and everyone who helped us put that show together! NYC see you at the Black-N-Blue Bowl May 28th!" -Sick Of It All
"Hard to believe that Sick Of It All has been doing this for 25 years. We have so much love and respect for them and it's such a huge honor to be a part of this." -Snapcase
We have a ton of LIVE videos coming very soon! But check out this insanity for now!
