I don’t need mystic powers to tell you, Brisbane’s Killtoys are back, with a new dark rock single with the ominous title “Doom Sayer.” As a three piece, these guys have a huge sound, are brilliant live and well seasoned musicians. Shoutout to Kings Street Studio where the Killtoys record.
Hail thee unto the fluid drums that are setting the pace for this gruesome telling of inevitable futility. Surrounded by the mists that only hold death and destruction, the fortune teller heralds in avenging angels while the bass grimly powers on. The lead guitar cuts through the mire, like a sword and the vocals waver between great loss and acceptance.
Maybe this is blasphemous, however this track has the hallmarks of that Aussie rock flavour, mixed with a heavy Black Sabbath like dirge, which is a combination of that droning bass and rolling drums. The band have cited the brilliant British band Paradise Lost as an influence, and that can most definitely be heard in the guitar work. “Doom Sayer” has a glorious depth and if you love your rock then you really should not miss out on the Killtoys.
