History
Kill Memory Crash was originally formed around 1998 as a duo (Alex SanFaçon and Adam Sieczka), and made an almost self-imposed exile from the music industry due to their indifferences to the popular styles of electronic music at the time. Kill Memory Crash eventually became known for their subversive lyrical themes and dark musical style, blurring the boundaries between industrial, techno, electro, pop, and rock.
The duo signed with Ghostly International in 2002, and released its debut EP, When the Blood Turns Black, in 2003. The duo's debut studio album, American Automatic, was released in 2005. In 2008, they were joined by live percussionist (and DJ) Gabriel Palomo of Zuvuya Recordings, who was introduced to them through a mutual friend.
Kill Memory Crash continues to perform at select international venues/events and is rumored to be working on new material for 2013.
