Killing Addiction

**Killing Addiction** is a Florida-based death metal band that’s been grinding since 1989, helping shape the state’s iconic extreme metal scene. Known for their raw, riff-heavy sound and dystopian lyrical themes, they dropped their debut LP, *Omega Factor*, in 1993, blending old-school brutality with technical flourishes. After a hiatus, they roared back in the 2010s with releases like *Fall of the Archetypes* (2017) and *Shores of Oblivion* (2020), proving they’ve still got that gnarly, apocalyptic vibe. Their recent live albums, including *Live II: Syndicate Empires*, capture their relentless energy onstage, while newer tracks like *Mind of a New God* show they’re not afraid to evolve without ditching their roots. For fans of unfiltered, cerebral death metal, these guys remain a cult favorite.
