Zi:Kill were a post-punk/hard rock band that formed in 1987. By the early 1990's, the group had impressive mainstream success,
and were credited to being one of the first groups to popularize the visual kei trend to a mainstream audience. The group split in
1994, and frontman Tusk went onto form the influential horror punk group, The Slut Banks. Today, Zi:Kill are often credited as
being an important group in the early visual kei movement.
