Six Reasons to Kill

Founded in 1999 when the hybrid of Metal and Hardcore was a strictly underground rooted scene Six Reasons To Kill managed it to improve their sound steady.

The starting shot was given with their debut Death Metal-Hardcore-Bastard “Kiss The Demon“ containing a midtempo groove-based sound followed by two split-releases (with ABSIDIA and DEADLOCK). Their development towards a more elaborated sound during the early releases is evident. The second full-length “Reborn” marked a point when the sound changed completely to a harmony-added powerful and converging songwriting. “Reborn” got released on Bastardized Recordings in Europe, Tribunal Records in the USA and Gods Child Music in Asia and Japan – a statement for the international demand for their artistic talent.

An inflationary amount of changes in the line-up (some members joined CALIBAN and DEADSOIL) obstructed the view forward within the last years. But every loss has its benefits: In the retrospective these circumstances lead to the strongest and most energetic line-up in the history of Six Reasons To Kill.

Within the years Six Reasons To Kill played countless shows, festivals and tours throughout Europe from Scotland to Slovenia. with bands from both sides, the Metal- and the Hardcore scene such as Hatebreed (Tour 2001), Hellchild (Tour 1999), Burning Skies (European Tour 2005), Testament, Shadows Fall, Bleeding Through, God Forbid, The Black Dahlia Murder, Morning Again, Vader, Caliban, Napalm Death, Walls Of Jericho, Heaven Shall Burn, Throwdown, Strife and many more.

Their lyrics deal with social topics like discrimination, environmental exploitation, racism, war and human rights. The bands supreme goal is to make people think and to tear down some unnecessary walls. They always stand in for tolerance and an open minded attitude.
