On Frozen Head, Killer Hill dance on a knife's edge between volcanic alt-rock and teeth-gnashing thrash. Across the EP's six songs, swinging grooves and soaring vocals intertwine with fangs-out metal mania. Radiant songcraft meets venomous shred; euphoric hooks meet feral riffage and double-bass volleys. A must-hear for fans seeking levitation as well as annihilation, Frozen Head hits a bulls-eye on the same range where bands such as Helmet, Mastodon, and Red Fang have been firing for decades. It is a riveting new slab of music from three consummate professionals.

Decibel describes the sound: "Noise rock, alt-rock and thrash metal colliding over a *ahem* black hole sun... Gravitating between a bouncy playful noisy-ness, innate and furious metallic fire, and touches of moroseness that latch onto Soundgarden’s more pensive moments."

Frozen Head was engineered and mixed by Travis Pavur (Black Lips, Eagles of Death Metal) at Golden Beat Recording Studio in Los Angeles, CA and mastered by Pete Lyman (Sturgill Simpson, Trash Talk) at Infrasonic Mastering in Nashville, TN.

In addition to Helmet, the band members' collective resumé includes Amphetamine Reptile greats Guzzard, death metal veterans Afterbirth, and hard rockers Burning Brides.
