At long last, ANCIIENTS are returning.
KILL THE THRILL are France’s most enigmatic post-punk & industrial band, creating music as far back as 1989.

Thank god that Christian Death will never die. Their debut album is still held up as the Holy Grail of death rock, though their doomy riffs and sinisterly slow synths have made them the rotten apple of every goth’s made-up eye.
