IKILLYA Video for "...And Hell Followed With Him"

In the past year we have seen a lot of great bands take the New York City Underground Heavy Music Scene by the horns, and collectively they are helping to drive the scene to the sky passed the top of the Empire State Building! One band that is helping out by always delivering the goods is Ikillya. Fronted by vocalist Jason Lekberg, Ikillya's new album titled "Recon" is a fresh sounding groove machine full of furious well polished songs. "Recon" was produced and mixed by Josh Wilbur (Lamb of God, Hatebreed, This or the Apocalypse) and engineered by Paul Suarez (Lamb of God, Avenged Sevenfold), Ryan Kelly (Opeth, Orbs), and Armando Subero.

\m/ YEAR OF FORMATION: 2005

\m/ ORIGIN: New York City

\m/ MISSION: To create heavy music that is exciting to play, forces us each to grow as artists, and elicits raw emotion from the listener.

\m/ BIOGRAPHY: IKILLYA is the ferocity that follows the moment of clarity created by the proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back. The human strength of will has been shown to be capable of achieving the impossible, and never is it more focused than when we are pushed to our absolute limit. Creating music has been our primary goal as long as we’ve had the cogitative ability to have a primary goal and all too often it is in direct opposition to the realities of everyday life.

We write from the desperate need for others to hear us and, frankly, play because we are genetically compelled to. Our new EP "Recon" is a collection of warning shots assembled from our first adventures as a complete unit. Each song represents a point in our mutation and a glimpse at what is yet to come. Recon is the beginning of the war for our lives.

We hope that our songs can be both our own sonic therapy and the knot at the end of someone else’s rope. Hang on friends. Your life is in your hands, and as long as you have air in your lungs, you can conquer the world.

Breathe, focus, Ikillya.

Ikillya’s debut music video for their first single off "Recon" “…And Hell Followed With Him” was shot by seasoned director Frankie Nasso (All That Remains, Mudvayne, Hellyeah) in Staten Island, New York. “Being able to work with the amazing Frankie Nasso and his team and then have "Recon" be the #5 most added album with no label support is simply mind-boggling” said Ikillya vocalist Jason Lekberg, “We've got lots more work to do and we thank those who have worked with us so far for helping get us off to such a great start.”
