Driller Killer was a Swedish crust punk band. They were formed in 1993 in Malmö [2] and are named after the Abel Ferrara film The Driller Killer. [3] They are signed to the French record label Osmose Productions and have released seven full-length albums, and a variety of split releases to date. [4] Their style has been described as heavy punk, [5] hardcore punk, [6] crust punk [7] and D-beat. [8] They are also strongly influenced by the sound of Discharge.
Driller Killer was one of the first bands to implement death metal sound into a crust punk formula. [9] The popularity of the crust punk and death metal fusion cemented when Osmose Productions created the Kron-H imprint for the main purpose of signing Driller Killer, Disfear, Loud Pipes and Dellamorte. [9] While the tenure with Kron-H did not generate major financial success it gained praise from underground critics. [10]
Fuck the World and Reality Bites were released on vinyl in 2019. [18]
