June 2, 2011 - Charlie Leaves WKM

After more than two years with Northern New Jersey-based WILL KILLMORE, drummer Charlie Corletta has decided to leave the band citing personal and creative differences.

The following personal statement was issued by Charlie: "I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone including the boys in WKM for a lifetime of memories and experiences that I will cherish forever. It has been a unbelievable journey being a part of a band that in my opinion is one of the best new metal bands out there today. I say that with confidence because I see and dealt with just how much passion, time and sacrifice has gone into this band.

At this time I wish I could say I'm kidding but the truth is I will no longer be continuing my musical career with Will Killmore. I'm still perusing music professionally and plan on remaining active with other music projects.

I will carry out my musical obligations to the band and our fans by performing three more shows this summer. Details for those shows will be made available at Willkillmore.com shortly. This will be a nice way to close a chapter of my life on a positive note.

Again, thank you James, Joe, Brian, and Steve for making a dream come true! You have proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that with enough balls, imagination, and ambition five strangers could create an unstoppable force. I wish you all the best of luck and look forward to the remaining three gigs."

The band will be holding auditions for a permeant drummer at their studio in Clifton New Jersey.

"This is not easy for the band but we are looking to fill the spot ASAP. It's not an easy shoe to fill. There is no bad blood and this isn't on bad terms. We wish Charlie the best of luck in whatever he decides to do from this point on."

March 28, 2011 - Press Release

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.”

"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.

October 14, 2010 - Will Killmore Set To Begin Pre-Production on New Album

After spending the better half of 2010 on the road in support of the band's debut EP "Oh The Humanity," Clifton New Jersey based Will Killmore are now gearing up to head back into the studio to begin pre-production on their still untitled full length follow up. With only three more shows scheduled for October, Will Killmore plans on taking time off from playing live to focus on the recording process of the new record.

"We wanted to make sure the band was doing the right thing and going about the recording process in the most appropriate manor this time around. Our focus now unlike the last recording is to put all of the band's energy into the studio and nothing else," said James Digangi, Guitarist.

With Will Killmore self producing the follow upto their 2010 EP the band has been hard at work writing, preparing, and introducing some of the material to audiences across the east coast.

"When lead guitarist Steve Toth joined the band in the later half of the recording process for "Oh The Humanity," he really pushed WKM both as musicians and as song writers. If his persistence and dedication to producing is anything like his playing everyone can expect a truly remarkable record," said Charles Corletta, Drums.

The band has already integrated some of the new tracks to their live show. Songs like "Number 7," "New Kids," and "Rockula" have become instant favorites amongst fans.

"Will Killmore is always pushing our live show. When other bands play it safe and stick to the favorites we throw new material at our fans. Like when we did support shows for In This Moment and Unearth, those were the first times we had ever debuted "New Kids," or "Number 7." Now when we play out kids are singing lyrics to these songs. It's funny because I still don't even know all the words," said Brian Daniell, Bass.

Starting in November Will Killmore will be dedicating all of their time and efforts into putting out their first full length album so there are only three chances left to catch WKM in 2010.

"I just want to get in studio, have this new record come out so we can hit the road again and bring the slaughter to the masses," said Steve Toth, Guitar.

Will Killmore has three shows left for the year. One of which will take place in their home town in New Jersey October 16th.

"It is a free, all age "thank you" show for all our friends and fans. This is our way of telling everyone the we are extremely grateful for all the support. Without everyone spreading the word about this band and going nuts in the pit we would have never been able to make it this far so quickly," said Joe Marini, Vocals.

10/16/10 The Meat Locker: Montclair NJ 5:00pm
