Create A Kill is a new project from drummer Gus Rios (ex: Malevolent Creation/Upon Infliction/Resurrection) which marks Gus’ debut as a guitar player and band leader. The vocals written and laid down by Alex Marquez (ex: Malevolent Creation/Soltice) are just nasty and a huge part of why we love the sound these guys have created!

Gus Comments: “The project started about 2 years ago. I have always been more of a thrash metal than death metal fan, and wanted to hear some new music. so I decided to write my own. I got Alex to sing on it because he’s a very talented vocalist (aside from a KILLER drummer too!) and I knew that he would be able to give the music what I was hearing in my head. Then on top of that, I wanted some of my good drummer friends to guest on the record, as it’s really more of a guitar project for me. Luckily, I was able to get Tobias Gustaffson from Vomitory and Dirk Verbueren from Soilwork to record some amazing drum tracks for the album. Those guys truly understand the old-school thrash vibe and it comes across on the recordings. As far as release date, due to recent changes in my life I am now able to really focus on this project and hope to have it released by August.”
This straight up old-school thrash project reminds us of old Slayer or Dark Angel, with a nice grind element thrown into the mix. There is a lot of fast double bass, blast beats and the music itself is pretty evil & dark, yet still refreshing in a strange way.
Aside from Dirk Verbeuren (Soilwork/Bent Sea/Devin Townsend Project), and Tobias Gustaffson of Vomitory appearing on different drum parts, Daniel Gonsalez of Possessed appears on guitars. The record was recorded and produced by Gus Rios.
