Kill the Kong is a Swedish metal band renowned for its commanding and explosive sound, which combines the raw power of metal with rhythmically complex drum patterns and dual vocals. Formed in Västerås, Sweden in 2015, the band established itself with a mission to deliver a high energy experience, both on record and during their vigorous live performances. They are recognized for their intense synergy and the way they incorporate elements from different metal sub-genres, creating a distinct sonic identity that is both aggressive and melodic.

Continually solidifying their presence in the metal scene, Kill the Kong has an impressive repertoire of releases that showcase their development as artists and their commitment to evolving their sound. The inclusion of Björn "Speed" Strid in their track "Deepfall" denotes the band's connection and recognition among their peers in the industry. With tracks like "Dead Spirit Pt. 1 and 2," "Enemy," and "Revolution," they continue to push the boundaries of their music, exploring themes of struggle, resistance, and the human condition.
