Killing Our Darlings is an alt-metal industrial shoegaze band from Glasgow. Drawing on the likes of Deftones, Massive Attack, The Cure and Smashing Pumpkins, they trade in their own brand of noisy, heavy electro gloom pop – crushing riffs and shimmering atmosphere.
The band’s first single, ‘Aftermass’, from the forthcoming EP ‘The Wormwood Files’, helped increase their overall visibility with global airplay across the likes of Total Rock, Hard Rock Hell, Rock Radio & Rock Rage Radio!
New single ‘Minotaur’ sees the band continue that journey.
