WATCH THE VIDEO FOR ‘FATAL’ HERE:
“We shot the music video for “Fatal” with Dan Centrone at an abandoned barn in Delaware, and it was such a blast. Dan really nailed the energy and chaos of the song, and we can’t wait for everyone to see what we have planned for the future.” – YOTK
Formed in 2015, Year of the Knife is taking the hardcore scene by storm with their merciless, face melting riffs and neck snapping rhythm on record and especially on stage. Consisting of Tyler Mullen (vocals), Brandon Watkins (guitar), Madi Watkins (bass), Andrew Kisielewski (drums) and Aaron Kisielewski (guitar), the straightedge five-piece is completely unfiltered, blasting on everything from police brutality to addiction with honest fury. The band has kept busy on the road the last few years, touring with the likes of fellow labelmates Knocked Loose and Terror among others. Year of the Knife is ready to rip the pit once again in 2019 and will be headed to Europe for a tour in May/June on the back of the upcoming record Ultimate Aggression.
