The band are currently enjoying some semi-mainstream success after their self-titled Blood Duster album and an appearance at the annual Big Day Out festival.

The band's first offering, Yeest, was a straightforward grindcore album. The follow up album, Str8 Outta Northcote was a southern-flavored stoner rock album. The band's third album, Cunt was a more intense and true-to-its-roots offering, with rhythmic bluesy metal guitars and heavy drumwork.

Kill
Blood Duster Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

An all-American boy
Voted likely to succeed
Started hearing voices
So he made people bleed

He had to kill 13
Stopping earthquakes
Was his dream

by 1972
Herb became a normal dude
But he kept hearing voices
He was in a violent mood
He had to kill 13
Stopping earthquakes was his dream

Voices told Herb
13 must be killed
He did his best
That the orders were fulfilled

Splattered with their blood
More fun in Santa Cruz.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Blood Duster's song Kill Kill Kill depict the story of a troubled all-American boy who started hearing voices and went on a killing spree. The first verse describes him as someone voted likely to succeed, but the chorus reveals his dark thoughts and actions. He believed that he had to kill 13 people to stop earthquakes which had become his dream. The second verse reveals that his name was Herb and he had become a normal person in 1972, but the voices kept coming back, and he was in a violent mood. He ended up killing 13 people to fulfill his dream.

The song's dark and twisted lyrics are no doubt inspired by real-life events, such as the infamous case of Herbert Mullin. Mullin was an American serial killer who murdered 13 people in California during the early 1970s. He believed that his killings would prevent an earthquake that he believed was imminent. The song's lyrics also hint at his mental illness, with the constant hearing of voices and Herb's violent mood.
