“He's a Polish worker in the back of a dark truck, but he looked like a criminal to me Multiplying his face seemed to give him a sort of split personality / schizophrenic vibe, which feels like a good mesh. Not just for the band name but the idea of a for the lack of a better term super group.” - Dave Elitch (Ex-The Mars Volta / Killer be Killed)

Metal Sucks placed Puciato at No.1 on their list of the top twenty five modern Metal frontmen, but he also expresses himself through the dark Electro Pop of The Black Queen, together with Nine inch Nails touring guitarist Josh Eustis of Telefon Tel Aviv and Maynard James Keenan’s Puscifer. Puciato made a guest appearance in 2012 with Mixhell, the DJ project of Max’s brother and Sepultura co-founder Igor Cavalera.

Max Cavalera is no stranger to collaborations, of course having invited multiple guests onto Sepultura’s genre defining 'Roots' and Soulfly’s gold selling debut album in 1998. One such Soulfly guest Chino Moreno has often joined Puciato onstage with both The Dillinger escape Plan and Deftones. Max was one half of the incendiary Nailbomb, together with English record producer and Fudge Tunnel mastermind Alex Newport. The pair released one studio album in 1993 and performed a blistering set at the Dynamo Festival in 1995.

“We did a song on Soulfly's 'Omen' and then we started talking about doing an entire album together, the way he had with Alex Newport, We eventually got together with some riffs we both had and wrote a bunch more material in a seventy two hour blast out in the desert. We left with about fifteen demos we made using the same drum machine and four track Max used working on 'Chaos A.D.'" - Greg Puciato (The Dillinger escape Plan, Killer be Killed)

Cognizant of the reputation both of them have cultivated after working with some of the world’s best drummers, Puciato called upon David Elitch, who had toured internationally with the mind bendingly Psychedelic group The Mars Volta. His expertise in everything from Jazz to Metal has led to live and studio collaborations with a diverse range of major artists including Justin Timberlake, French Electronic wizards M83 and Norwegian singer songwriter Susanne Sundfør.

Killer be Killed has come together even as their main projects hit a collective stride, Max just released his ninth studio album with Soulfly, Savages to many of the strongest reviews of his legendary career. The Dillinger escape Plan’s 'One of us is the Killer' debuted at No.1 on Billboard’s Hard Rock album chart earlier this year. Mastodon's most recent album 'The Hunter' was "Album of the Year" in Kerrang!, Metal Hammer, Rock Sound, Classic Rock, Terrorizer and Total Guitar in 2011. Mastodon and The Dillinger escape Plan have toured together many times. During one such tour in the US, in late 2011 Puciato was telling Sanders about the new project. Before too long Sanders and Cavalera were meeting at a festival in South America for the first time:

“Hey, I’m Troy. And I think we’re in a band together, the electric chemistry was apparent the first time they all assembled. Having met, created and recorded an album together, this experience has easily exceeded my initial expectations, The collective energy and mutual respect for one another eased the entire process and has been very therapeutic for me.” - Troy Sanders (Mastodon / Killer be Killed)
