Band information

Killrazer is a Sydney death and thrash band formed in 2005 after Dalton, Mrakic and McCartney left Dark Order. McCartney had to leave the band after only a short time and Vaticide members Cook and Alhaddad joined. This line-up was short-lived also as Cook was also busy with Mortal Sin and Alhaddad in Switchblade. Former Infernal Method pair Lilley and Goode replaced them in late 2006. Killrazer then hit the stage for the first time in May 2007, opening for Vader in Sydney and Melbourne. They support Sodom later in the year, after which Lilley left to concentrate on Mortality. Lardner-Brown from Vaticide replaced Lilley in October 2007 and shortly afterward was named the winner of Australian Guitar Magazine's Best Guitarist Competition.

During 2008 the band played shows with Children of Bodom and completed work on an EP that was released in December. In April 2009 Killrazer supported Krisiun and Malevolent Creation and were announced as Paul Di'anno's backing band for his tour in May. Just before those shows however, Goode suddenly left the band and Peter Hunt of Paindivision and Razor of Occam filled in for the tour. Killrazer appeared at Screamfest in 2010 with new drummer Paul Ibbotson (Aeturnus Dominion) and once again toured Australia with Paul Di'anno. When Ibbotson left due to injury, Grahame Goode returned to complete live commitments until 2012 when Josh Brazewell joined Killrazer. During 2014 the band toured with Coroner while completing a full-length album.
