Kill The Lights Members, Gear & Sound

Kill The Lights is a dynamic metalcore ensemble that transcends traditional boundaries with a blend of past experience and fresh innovation. Formed by Michael “Moose” Thomas (drums), a co-founder of Bullet For My Valentine, the band includes James Clark (vocals) from Throw The Fight, Jordan Whelan (guitar) of Still Remains, Jason James (bass), and Travis Montgomery (guitar) from Threat Signal. This group merges the intensity of heavy metal with the melodic elements of metalcore, creating powerful music that resonates on a primal level.

Kill The Lights is characterized by its aggressive yet melodic sonic landscape. Their sound is a harmonious blend of crushing guitar riffs and intricate melodic lines, driven by the dual-guitar assault of Whelan and Montgomery. This combination creates a rich tapestry of sound, with the Mesa/Boogie Big Block 750 bass amplifier head providing deep, resonant low-end tones that anchor their tracks. Thomas's drumming, accented by Zildjian 14" A Custom HiHats, adds a crisp, dynamic layer to the mix. The use of advanced modulation and distortion techniques ensures their music hits with both raw power and emotional depth, offering an exhilarating listening experience for metalcore enthusiasts.
