Driller Killer was a Swedish
crust punk band. They were formed in 1993 in
Malmö
[2] and are named after the
Abel Ferrara film
The Driller Killer .
[3] They are signed to the French record label
Osmose Productions and have released seven full-length albums, and a variety of split releases to date.
[4] Their style has been described as
heavy punk ,
[5]
hardcore punk ,
[6]
crust punk
[7] and
D-beat .
[8] They are also strongly influenced by the sound of
Discharge .
Driller Killer was one of the first bands to implement
death metal sound into a crust punk formula.
[9] The popularity of the crust punk and death metal fusion cemented when Osmose Productions created the
Kron-H imprint for the main purpose of signing Driller Killer,
Disfear , Loud Pipes and
Dellamorte .
[9] While the tenure with Kron-H did not generate major financial success it gained praise from underground critics.
