One band was simply not enough! Fueled by intensity and a bloodlust so strong it could start a war. They set in motion a mechanism to conquer the world. Founder of the band Dave Linsk started writing songs with the intentions of them being used for OVERKILL. Dave and Drummer Tim Mallare got together to demo the tunes. These songs took on a different direction then the direction OVERKILL is currently taking, hence the birth of SPEED/KILL/HATE. The next thing to do was find the bass player. After passing on the demos to Derek Tailer the bass and rhythm section was complete. The last order of business was the vocalist. After trying some guys from other national acts it became apparent to Linsk to contact his old singer Mario from ANGER ON ANGER. Mario jumped on board and completes the band giving that element all the others were missing. SPEED/KILL/HATE went back to the roots of thrash metal right where they belong and are ready to release its music on the masses. Described as aggressive, intense, brutal music.......

I'm the one who's so obscene
I'm the insect in your dream

Don't tell me you're in contact
Wasting you, can you see?
Don't tell me you're in contact
I can feel you live and breathe

I don't want to be your enemy
It's so hollow
I don't want to be your enemy
It's so hollow

Something's gone behind your eyes
In your head it's televised

Don't tell me I'm not human
Wasting you, can you see?
Don't tell me I'm not human
I can feel you live and breathe

I don't want to be your enemy
It's so hollow
I don't want to be your enemy
It's so hollow

Never want to be
Never want to be your enemy
Never want to be
Never gonna be

Never want to be
Never want to be your enemy
Never want to be
Never gonna be

I'm the one who's so obscene
Stitch me up so perfectly

Don't tell me you're in contact
Wasting you, can you see?
Don't tell me you're in contact
I can feel you live and breathe

I don't want to be your enemy
It's so hollow
I don't want to be your enemy

I don't want to be your enemy
It's so hollow
I don't want to be your enemy
It's so hollow

Never want to be
Never want to be your enemy
Never want to be
Never gonna be

Never want to be
Never want to be your enemy

Never want to be
Never gonna be
