KILLER was formed in 1980. Only four month’s after KILLER’S formation, armed with “”READY FOR HELL””, the band’s debut album, a deal with WEA, a major record company now known as WARNER
MUSIC was signed. KILLER was one of the first continental bands inspired by the imminent success of the NWOBHM bands such as SAXON, IRON MAIDEN and DEF LEPPARD. Because of the trio-formula, the gruff vocal-style, and later – the pounding double bass drums, they would however forever be compared to MOTORHEAD. In the end the band considered it more of an honor than a nuisance. In other areas KILLER were actually innovators, playing speed-metal, not only avant la lettre but also quite a while before bands like METALLICA broke through with this genre of music. Regardless of volume or speed, they always made sure that there was a distinguishable anthem-like melody on top of their wall of sound. 1981 saw the release of “”WALL OF SOUND””. The album was another powerful shot in the arm for the band. It sold well everywhere, especially in Germany, and allowed KILLER to tour in most countries of Europe, as well as perform at some significant festivals. The first two albums MAUSOLEUM RECORDS released were actually re-releases of READY FOR HELL and WALL OF SOUND. In 1983 KILLER were back in the studio to record the third album. The ambitious “”SHOCK WAVES”” was not only a monumental commercial success remaining for a long time MAUSOLEUM’S bestseller, to be eventually only surpassed in sales figures by WARLOCK and FAITHFULL BREATH – but also enjoyed considerable critical acclaim. KILLER and their album “”FATAL ATTRACTION”” was the first release on the second coming of MAUSOLEUM in 1991.

Tough Guy Metal,
Take one look at the band photo on this disc’s booklet and you know exactly what kind of metal you’re gonna get. These denim-clad, pig ugly (seriously – they make Grim Reaper look like pretty boys) metalheads from Belgium obviously love their Motorhead albums. They deliver hard, fast, no-frills metal. You’re not going to find any ballads or keyboards here, just straight up fist-pumping heavy metal.
It’s nothing you haven’t heard before, particularly if you own at least one Motorhead album, but Fatal Attraction is still a fun album. Besides, sometimes you just need to hear loud, mindless rock music blaring from your speakers.
The Mausoleum Anniversary reissue of Fatal Attraction features 4 bonus tracks taken from guitarist “”Shorty”” Van Camp’s solo material.

Spooky: Bass and vocals lead
Shorty: guitar and vocals lead
Rudi simons: drums and backing vocals
Jan van springel: guitar
