Pre-Order: Killer - Grand Finale [Colored Vinyl]

Pioneering Belgian heavy metal band Killer was originally formed in 1980 by guitarist and vocalist Paul 'Shorty' Van Camp and drummer 'Fat' Leo (who sadly passed away on February 13, 2026). Prior to that, both musicians had been active in a rock/blues outfit called Mothers Of Track. The classic Killer line-up was completed by guitarist Ivo 'Spooky' Van Doren. Heavily influenced by the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal and Motörhead, the trio quickly gained a reputation for it's loud and aggressive heavy/speed metal and, alongside Acid and Crossfire, became one of Belgium's most successful metal bands. After signing with Mausoleum Records, Killer released a string of classic albums in the early 1980s: Ready For Hell (1981), Wall Of Sound (1982) and Shock Waves (1984), before disbanding for the first time in 1987. Several reunions and five more albums followed, the most recent being Hellfire, released on HNE in 2023. The Grand Finale, Killer's very last studio album featuring Van Camp (guitars/vocals), Ian Anthony (bass) and Vanne (drums). According to Van Camp, the album 'is a dedication to Lemmy of Motörhead, who is one of our all-time heroes.'
