Driller Killer was a Swedish crust punk band. They were formed in 1993 in Malmö[2] and are named after the Abel Ferrara film The Driller Killer.[3] They are signed to the French record label Osmose Productions and have released seven full-length albums, and a variety of split releases to date.[4] Their style has been described as heavy punk,[5] hardcore punk,[6] crust punk[7] and D-beat.[8] They are also strongly influenced by the sound of Discharge.

Driller Killer was one of the first bands to implement death metal sound into a crust punk formula.[9] The popularity of the crust punk and death metal fusion cemented when Osmose Productions created the Kron-H imprint for the main purpose of signing Driller Killer, Disfear, Loud Pipes and Dellamorte.[9] While the tenure with Kron-H did not generate major financial success it gained praise from underground critics.[10]
