From the intense opening track "What You Say" all the way to "Blow Up" at the end Kill America is an intense new metal CD along the lines of Static X. Skrape is heavy enough, with crunching riffs to keep the most crazed moshers happy, while at the same time melodic, with a unique style of their own. Billy Keeton like any good metal singer can control his voice from clean singing to a gut wrenching scream like the best of them. A refreshing note, all the vocals are singing with an occasional scream, no rapping (not that I have anything against rap/metal there's just too much of it now). Although every track on this 12 track masterpiece is praise worthy, my favorites are What You Say, Waste, Rake & Rise. New Killer America is a CD no metal fan should be without.
Awesome metal cd, I don't think they ever got the recognition they deserved for it.

"Skrape's debut cd, new killer america, has to be the best cd of 2001. From the opening track,What you say, to the ending Blow up, the music just never lets go. It is heavy, and emotional at the same time. The music is not just pure heavy metal, it features keyboards and an electric edge, which makes this cd so damn good!!!. If you want to buy one cd this year, make sure you buy "new killer america" you will never regret it. NEVER! :)"

""Best Review 2" I got the Skrape demo CD from Spin Records, and the moment I heard the first song "Isolated" I knew that this band was some serious talent. With their heavy riffs, amazing vocals, and a drummer that explains himself with his beats, this band is now on my favorites list in the top 5. Their Metal/Rock sound is so original and I really give them a lot of respect as artists. If you love metal and you really love finding out about new talented musicians, go out and buy "New Killer America" by "Skrape." I guarrantee you will like this CD a whole lot."
