Death metal band Killengod was formed on the Gold Coast in the early 90s. The founding members were Errol Nyp on vocals/guitar, Drexler Roberts on bass and Jonothan Dao on drums. Killengod made two albums of vehemently anti-religious metal that mixed black and death to good effect, 'Transcendual Consciousness' (1995) and 'Into the Ancient Moon' (1998). Musically similar to Deicide with a formidable three-way black metal vocal attack and with the lyrical maturity of Morbid Angel, Killengod was a band that deserved much wider acclaim. The band supported Fear Factory in Australia. They disbanded in 1999.

I attended several Killengod gigs at the Playroom, Gold Coast in the 90's. Can confirm these guys were extremely talented, professional & their sets were riveting. State of the art 90's DM done way right. Killa stage presence with very genuine looking animal skeletons adorning their mic stands.
ReplyDeleteFrom memory, both guitarists played Jackson style flying vees & were highly accomplished & proficient musicians.
