Kill Devil Hill is an American rock supergroup, founded in 2011 by drummer Vinny Appice (former Black Sabbath, Heaven & Hell, and Dio), bassist Rex Brown (former Pantera and Down), guitarist Mark Zavon (former 40 Cycle Hum), and lead vocalist Dewey Bragg. [2] The band is named after the town of Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina, a location renowned from pirating days. [3]
The band's sound has been described as "heavy and modern without succumbing to typical contemporary hardcore trappings – indecipherable vocals or overused blast beats." [3]
Kill Devil Hill released their self-titled debut album in May 2012. They toured the US with rock band Adrenaline Mob. [4]
On March 10, 2014, it was announced that Vinny Appice had left the band in order to commit to other things and projects, and that former Type O Negative drummer Johnny Kelly was his replacement. [5] Appice later stated his leaving the band was due to the lack of punctuality of his other bandmates. [6] [7]
The band performed on Motörhead's Boat Cruise in September 2014 and after touring, the band started to write another album with their new member Johnny Kelly. [8] They decided to record at Stagg Street Studios in California with help from engineer Josh Newell ( Linkin Park, In This Moment). [8]
On February 24, 2023, the band announced they had signed with Legend Recordings and would be releasing a new album the same year. They also released a new single titled "Blood in the Water" from their upcoming third album. [9] On August 24, the band announced their third album, Seas of Oblivion, would be released on September 20. [10]
