Kill/Death Radio! meld their explosive sound and raw lyrics with macabre mythology on their latest single “In Love”. Released on June 3 and produced by JUNO Award-winner Siegfried Meier, “In Love” is the band’s first single of 2026 and breaches new depths that are wild, fresh, and pulls on the heartstrings.
Hailing from Barrie, Ontario, Canada, Kill/Death Radio! are a band that exist amongst a multitude of genres with a sound that blends alt-rock, grunge, desert rock, and rounded out with punk presence. The quartet operate on a level that feels loose enough to explore freely, and more than talented enough to transpose untethered ideas into fully-formed and tangible music. With a handful of singles under the Kill/Death Radio! brand, every release is a statement that there is no sonic territory the band fears to approach. From the funky, juke-joint style beat of “BEAUDANK” to the heavy, metal-tinged guitars of “Gaslight”, every song is a new opportunity to blow listeners away with falsetto and fuzz.
Where many (and I mean MANY) artists across centuries have found inspiration for their music in themes of love and in death, Kill/Death Radio! explore the world of Death IN Love. If this sounds like an idea brought on by high fever and over-the-counter drugs, you would be right – but Kill/Death Radio! knows how to squeeze fever dreams for all they’re worth. If love is one of the defining skills that mortals possess, what happens when an eternal entity like Death-personified longs for it?…Especially if it is in love with a mortal.
“The basis of the song ‘In Love’ is the idea of Death (the character or individual), being in love with a living human. Basically, love that can’t come to fruition until the inevitable end.”
– Aaron Casey, Kill/Death Radio!
“In Love” is a provocative single that deploys lyrics sparingly, but loads each second with a heavy atmosphere and wrenching delivery. The production is tight and highlights the band’s individual pieces as well as their cohesive power as a single unit working in perfect sync. The guitars soar, the drums drive hard, the bass is fuzzed out, and the vocals hit high-highs and guttural lows in perfect balance. Kill/Death Radio! hit all the pressure points attributed to the pangs of love along with the pains of longing, set against a wall of pulsing instrumentation.
“In Love” is a heart-on-the-sleeve experience that only Kill/Death Radio! could execute. While inspired by etymology, “In Love” is a very real song about the genuine hurt love can leave behind.
