The sound of Murder Weapons has been described as Shock Rock Horror Industrial, and the Industrial Motley Crue. Samples from actual serial killer trials, horror flicks and other intriguing auditory terrors are amply delivered by this quartet, punctuating the tracks with bloody theatrics. Live shows feature a “splash zone” of blood, glitter and various body parts. Audiences have become accustomed to this delightful debauchery, featuring gory visuals, murder weapons and blood splattered cage dancers.
Murder Weapons was born in 2012 with founder and bassist Jesse Razorr writing music based on a fascination with serial killers, horror and the finer things in life. His longtime collaborator Dawn Woodkill hails from the top 40 scene, bringing her power vocals to the party. In 2016, Billy Mace graced their presence with his hard-hitting drumming, and in 2017, Shon Shiv finalized the lineup with his guitar assaults. Their first music video for the track HIVE was released in January 2018 to rave reviews.
