KILL from All Hallowed by All Hallowed

All Hallowed offer dance punk sirensong in debut single "Kill"

Dayton, Ohio's All Hallowed are a bass/vox/drums dance punk powerhouse comprised of Ricky and Lacey Terrell that emerges from a backdrop of industrial decline and urban decay during a staggeringly weird and hopelessly dangerous period in history. The group is set to debut their artsy, dancefloor siren-song debut single, "Kill," on January 31, 2021.

Clocking in at under two and a half minutes, "Kill" carries the banner of their less-is-more mantra, which might seem overly efficient. Make no mistake,All Hallowed deliver groovy, fuzz damaged riffs that land with a lurid, melodramatic force that lacks subtlety. All Hallowed is a band that is reverent in their influences, and in "Kill" listeners are sure to hear nuanced nods to everyone from Death From Above 1979, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Faint, and The Kills to Blondie.

"Ricky has copious amounts of lyrics that he's scribbled down over the years. I cherry picked some of my favorites and created a melody to match the bass line he's been noodling," Lacey says of "Kill." "Although, I feared there would be a lack continuity, when paired correctly, they emerged as a powerful, albeit short, dance anthem."

When asked about the concept behind "Kill," Ricky offers a more enigmatic take. "The theme behind 'Kill' isn't terribly deliberate -- I prefer to let the listener create their own meaning and conviction from what we've created. Each song we write ends up with a subjective meaning or interpretation in my mind, but that same experience should be available to anyone who hears it. I prefer not to tell others what to infer from it."

The duo recruited Aaron Gillespie (of Underoath, The Almost) who recorded the drums at his stand alone studio in Utah, "Kill" was produced by Denny Cottle and engineered, mixed and mastered by Micah Carli (formerly of Hawthorne Heights) at his Popside studio in Troy, Ohio.

"Kill" is the first single from a larger, yet-to-be announced, future release by All Hallowed.

All Hallowed has specific visual and sonic aesthetics that run through every release: black and white imagery; no song over two and a half minutes; overdriven bass, drums and a female vocal.

The Dayton dark fuzz-punk band is nothing if not always on-brand.
