Out of a "forced necessity", THE KISS OF DEATH was formed in the Winter of 2001 by former TURMOIL members, Jon Gula (vocals) and Jeff Hydro (guitarist). Joined by members of SEVER THE FALLEN and DRAGON GREEN, THE KISS OF DEATH have cranked out a disturbing debut release. The Kiss Of Death contains five tracks clocking in at nearly twenty-five minutes, so there is no shortage of material here to showcase what THE KISS OF DEATH represent, which is a hard rock biker affair that is as extreme as it is drawn-out.

Slow, crushing breakdowns top off most tracks, which will please the hardcore fans not accustomed to songs this long and riffs so heavy. THE KISS OF DEATH display a sound very traditional and mature in nature, it comes across exactly as it was intended: DIRTY and DESTRUCTIVE. TKOD is recommended if you enjoy Eyehategod, Crowbar, Iron Monkey, Sleep and Church Of Misery.
