"Killing Bear - Wild Beasts - Album Review"

An especial highlight for the album is the artwork – the hand-drawn, pop-out work by Tane Williams is quite brilliant. However the album itself could have done with some editing – it’s good to see some ambition, but a bit more rigour wouldn’t have gone amiss. The album is a hotchpotch of vocal styles and lyrical musings – perhaps a stronger overall vision would have assisted, or the removal of a couple of incongruous tracks would have assisted the album’s overall feel. The rhythm work is particularly strong on the album – and the straight-up rock n roll of the album would undoubtedly work well live. - Undertheradar.co.nz


Discography

Rebirth is not your average run of the mill
EP, it's much more than that. It's both EP
and comic book, with the music reflecting the story and the story reflecting the music. The comic is illustrated by Cormac, the singer/guitarist of the band. The comic tells a story about a man by the name of Frank Williams and how he becomes tangled in an epic adventure with the ghost of an ancient warrior who goes by the name of Killing Bear. The music on Rebirth has elements reminiscent of an audio book as well as having epic rocking songs intertwined. The comic and the audio together will give you
an experience you have never seen occur in rock history before.

Wild Beasts, our debut album recorded, engineered, mixed, mastered and produced by Killing Bear. Recorded in Cormacs parents basement(Cardboard Box Studios), the Wild Beasts project started in early 2009 when Tia and Cormac started jamming together. A year later they have released something incredible. Accompanied by the superb design and artwork of Tane Williams, and poster design by Thor. The center of the cover has Tia and Cormac popping up with their instruments and the side pockets feature a fold out poster and CD. We hope everyone loves this album as much as we do...
