Kill II This

Kill II This achieved some minor cult popularity during their run, clearly trying to find a niche without mindlessly following the trend of the day. Their debut, Kill II This (later re-released as Another Cross II Bare), was a somewhat pedestrian aggro-metal affair, with gruff vocals and somewhat simplistic songwriting. Things improved on the next two albums (Deviate and Trinity are not reviewed here, but the prevailing opinion is that they are far better than the debut), the band beginning to broaden its wings and experiment a bit. By the time of their fourth album, 2003's mass.(down.)-sin.(drone), the band had gone through two member overhauls (guitarist Mark Mynett the sole original member), with their style drifting into nu-metal territory, though they are a shade more diverse than that tag usually implies, with nice touches such as the Middle Eastern guitar stylings on "Winter Green", and an improved vocal performance by new man Phil Bretnall. After yet another quiet period, Mynett put the band back in action in 2014, and a new album was finally released in 2024.
