Her Words Kill

Let's start this off right. Her Words Kill were an English band that existed from 2002 to 2007. They independently released two EPs (2004's "I Will Not Die Her Hero" and 2005's "Load My Revolver, Baby') before their breakup in 2007, which was caused by various lineup changes and creative differences. The music is often categorized as "melodic metalcore", although I resent those two labels, especially when both are used together. The band perfected the singer/screamer formula, and in their brief history, Her Words Kill wrote some of the most memorable songs of the genre, perfectly mixing fast and crushing rhythms, with subtle inclusions of soft guitar driven parts and hauntingly beautiful melodies. Additionally, Her Words Kill had one of the genre's most talented and soulful singers within Luke Pickett (think Jonny Craig, but less bombastic). The following are links to both band's EPs, both out of print. Pickett still releases music under his own moniker and plans to release a full length in early 2010.
