Deathcore band EYES OF A KILLER have known one another for sometime now, getting their own name from their own single, the first debut "Left to Rot". The next plans are set for them to record and later release an EP, since the band has released a handful of single's thus far. Some shows and hope to tour may be happening soon enough as well. The band discusses all of this right below.
1. Where did you get the idea for the band name, you planned it or came out just like that?
We loosely based the name off of our first single, “Left To Rot” which lyrically is based on going
through the motions of a person’s first murder. The lyrics are all through their perspective, so
through the eyes of a killer.
2. Why did you want to play this genre?
It’s our favorite genre and it’s what most of us are the best at writing.
3. Did you know each other before the band was formed?
Logan and Chris are cousins. The rest of the band we met throughout our time playing in the
local scene. So we’ve all known each other for a while.
4. Where is the band based out of and what is your music scene like there? Are there any local
bands you could recommend?
We are based out of Farmington, NM. The scene here is very diverse. There aren’t many metal
bands out here making the same sound. Some of the local bands we’d recommend are Heart
Museum, Under Exile, Red Lotus, Leviathan Axe, Lilith, Shu, and Morbid Justice.
5. Who or what inspires you to write songs?
What inspires us the most is good music. We all love music and love creating and playing music
with our friends.
6. What are your songs about? (What specific themes do they cover?)
Our songs are about murder and reflecting back on the disturbed state of ones mind. Some of
them are based off of actual serial killers.
7. Do you write your own songs? (Discuss the songwriting process in detail.)
Yes we do. The band will bounce riff ideas back and forth until we have an agreement on them.
Then we’ll put them into guitar pro to work as a rough draft and to make adding our synths,
orchestra, and other ear candy easy. The other purpose is so we have a record of how we play
the songs when it’s time to record or in case we have to teach someone. After that we go to the
studio with our rough draft and lay down the tracks, then Logan and Chris work to add the extra
bits.
8. What have you released so far and what can someone expect from your works?
We have released seven singles and a cover so far. We plan on recording an EP this year.
9. Do you have any new music in the works?
We currently have six songs nearly finished with the writing process so we can start recording
our EP.
10. How about playing shows and touring, have anything planned out?
We have some shows coming up but we can’t release any info about them yet. We’re working
on branching out to other states and hopefully getting a small tour run worked out soon.
11. What plans do you have for the future as a band?
The plan is to keep gaining traction and play out more often leading into becoming a touring
band.
12. Where can we listen to your band and where can we buy your stuff?
Our music is on all major streaming services. You can find our merch at
