Editorial Reviews

KILLWHITNEYDEAD, the band you love to hate is back at it, yet again. The "enigma" that once called Arizona home (though never having ever lived there) have quickly become one of North Carolina's biggest metal acts. Three critically acclaimed releases, a documentary/live DVD, their first ever tour (a US headlining tour to boot) during 7 weeks in the summer of 2006 have all brought KWD to this explosive point. The aptly titled, Nothing Less Nothing More, is their fourth album and is all that fans have come to adore in KWD; tales of retribution, blast beats, sound clips, scathing vocals, a plethora of swanky solos and classic thrash metal. If you have had the privilege of catching KWD at any of their chaos filled live shows then you know that only vocalist, Matt, has remained from the band's original line-up but fear not as constant touring has helped to solidify the KWD killing machine. Upon returning from the road they entered The Basement Studios with their long time producer, Jamie King, and proceeded to churn out 24 new songs for fans to devour. Thirteen of those twenty four wound up on Nothing Less Nothing More as the remaining tracks will be included on additional album entitled, Hell To Pay, which will be for sale exclusively at the band's live performances. With touring scheduled throughout the remainder of 2007 and their sights set on the UK, Europe and Australia all during 2008, KWD as promised several years ago, is set on world domination.

5.0 out of 5 stars Something Different, Something More, February 6, 2008

This review is from: Nothing Less Nothing More (Audio CD)

The bad boys from North Carolina have taken their deathcore sound to new heights with their fourth studio album. With all new band members behind him, frontman Matt seems more solid then ever as a vocalist, songwriter, and sampler (the band is known for its extensive use of samples from popular television shows and movies in their songs). Their brutal, violent, misogynistic music is ugly, intense, in your face, and downright scary at times. Check this album out if you need a good break from the hooks, melodies, and pop-sensibility of today's music. These guys make groups like Lamb of God and Bury Your Dead sound like nursery rhymes!

The sticker on the cover of Killwhitneydead's newest offering, Nothing Less Nothing More, boldly states "New Album Same (...)." And in reality, that statement is completely true. This is the Killwhitneydead we all know and love and have come to expect.

Now that they've dropped the whole charade of refusing to tour, creating rumors that they were banned from their hometown, and never showing who they truly were (i.e., Matt use to go simply by 'm'), they've given us one of their most focused, angry, and riff-roaring CD to date. With stellar music there's always a drawback and that drawback is the quotes they used this time around. They're still great and evoke every bit of emotion out of the lyrics that they should, but the previous CDs had much more memorable quotes. On Nothing Less Nothing More there's only a few that bring that sly smile to your face.

Seeing as how KWD is now a touring band (thank God!), it seems like they've really focused a lot more on the music...which is always a good thing. Listening to this CD you can tell what songs are just gonna be devastating when performed live. As with every other KWD album, there are a couple tracks that really just make it worth the purchase and the rest of the songs, while they can surely stand on their own, balance things out. The two songs that warrant this purchase this time around are Skip The Break Up Get To The Make Up and White Trash But Worth Every Cent. Skip The Break Up...sports a truly groovy riff and White Trash...has the lyrics shining brightly (particularly in the last minute or so).

My favorite songs are Time To Teach Her A Lesson Called "Replaceable", Skip The Break Up Get To The Make Up, White Trash But Worth Every Cent, Losing Weight & Looking Great, and Maybe Death Is A Gift. KWD only further themselves by putting a terrific rendition of Tainted Love on here that you'll find yourself doing a double take every time you hear it. And as always with this band, they continue their string of great cover art as well.

Great music, killer samples. I wonder if Matt killed Whitney? Sounds like he should have.
