Will Killmore announce Release Date for new record while giving fans a chance to hear a new track "Natural Born Survivor" exclusive to Facebook.

After six months in production, New Jersey based Will Killmore have officially announced a release date for their self titled full length album. “Will Killmore," Produced by guitarist Steve Toth and Will Killmore, is scheduled for a worldwide release April 12th 2011. This comes one year after the completion of the band’s freshman EP “Oh the Humanity.”

The band that coined the saying “Sicker Than Swine Flu," and who made adult film Star “Nasty” Nick Manning a household name with their single “Droppin Loads,” returns with an album that is mature in its complexity yet as ambitious and youthful as their previous efforts.

"Our goal for this record was simple; Great production, compelling song structures, and pure intensity. The songs on the new album have to stand the test of time and speak for themselves. Needless to say the last six months have taken its toll on us all. I’m just proud it is finished," said Steve Toth, Guitarist/Producer.

Tracks like "Natural Born Survivor" and "Hit the Trenches" are a clear indication of how the band’s song writing has matured. While the songs “Rockula” and “Pop Culture Vigilante” are a clear sign that Will Killmore are an established act with one purpose in mind; silence the critics while making kids scream at every show.

“There is something for every metal fan on this record. We are out to prove to the critics that the talent in this band is unquestionable while neversaturating each song with filler. Self producing this album was the only choice. People are going to be floored when they hear how much work went into it,” said Charles Corletta, Drums.

Without major label support the band have once again manage to produce, release and distribute the self titled album. That is not to say they haven’t had some help.

"Although our EP was received very well & tour was killer, we wanted an insider to tell us what we did wrong last time. We needed to hear what we had to do differently for this record,” said James DiGangi, Guitarist.

Will Killmore turned to their peers and industry insider Jesse Korman (The Number Twelve Looks Like You) and Kevin Antreassian (JayKay productions). “Jesse was great with directing us towards the later part of the writing process while Kevin’s mixes and mastering are exactly what we’ve been looking to hear over the last two years," said Joe Marini, Vocals.

Will Killmore is scheduled for a month long promotional tour starting with their CD release show April 16th at the legendary Olives in Nyack, New York.

“The crowd at Olives has always treated us right. Last years CD release show was sold out to capacity with everyone singing the lyrics to songs that had been leaked for only a few days. From what I gather, bands like Coheed and Cambria celebrated their first major release at Olives, so for WKM it is a great honor to do this place justice by playing a great set,” said Brian Daniell, Bass.
