Crazy Ideas With DREAMKILLERS

Brisbane metal legends Dreamkillers could be forgiven for resting
on past accomplishments and spending the remainder of their career
playing songs that are known and loved by many without placing
themselves at the mercy of the metal Gods by continuing to write
and release new music.
Since bursting onto the Brisbane music scene in the early 1990s and
revolutionising Australian metal with their debut EP Poison In The
Soup, Dreamkillers have been a mainstay on the circuit, evolving at
their own pace without pause for expectation and/or conformity.
Their refusal to bow down to authority and succumb to the whims and
desires of industry heavyweights has seen Dreamkillers court
controversy and embrace it, standing by their morals and music in a
world that has become increasingly sanitised and confronting.
Where most bands into the fourth ten year stretch of their musical
journey are content to go through the motions, Dreamkillers are
only strengthening their resolve.
Churning out seven new songs over the past year - all of which will
remain as stand alone singles for now - the band shows no sign of
slowing down, recently inking a deal with Australian label XMusic
and assembling a new batch of songs that promise to continue the
bands enduring legacy.
They are, quite simply, a musical enigma. An immovable sonic blast
of intent and uncompromising honesty that has all but died out in
modern times.
HEAVY was fortunate enough to speak with the whole band over the
last couple of days, running over the swag of tunes released over
the last 12 months and how they reflect Dreamkillers moving
forward.
"Unreal, it's pumping," the band answered when we ask how they feel
entering the new year. 
"It's going good," guitarist Damo added. "More shenanigans, more
music, more shows and more debauchery if we can have our way with
it (laughs)."
"We just had a conversation," added vocalist Les Jobson. "We've got
so many tracks we don't know whether to do a double album or two
single albums. We just got busy. We thought we won't pay gigs,
we'll write songs this year and that's what we did. Next year we're
taking it to the streets."
In the full interview we discuss Dreamkillers upcoming show at
