Kill the Thrill is a French industrial rock/metal band formed in Marseille in 1989. The band consists of Nicolas Dick (lead vocals, guitar, programming), Marylin Tognolli (bass, programming, vocals), and Frédéric De Benedetti (guitar, vocals).[3]
Generally associated with the industrial music movement, the band has dabbled with a variety of sounds during its career, ranging from alternative rock, to ambient goth, to darker new wave, and heavy metal.[3] The band's musical eclecticism led to a cult following among its selective audience.[3][4][5] The band has cited Killing Joke, Godflesh, Swans and The Young Gods as influences.[6] During its career, Kill the Thrill has also released records sporadically, including Dig (1993), Low (1996), 203 Barriers (2003), and Tellurique (2005).[3] Their third album, 203 Barriers, featured contributions from Michael Gira of Swans.[1][6] The band's first studio album in 19 years, Autophagie, is due on January 26, 2024.[7]
Kill the Thrill also performed as a supporting act for bands such as Killing Joke, The Young Gods, Einstürzende Neubauten and Treponem Pal.[8]
