7 videos • 630 views • by Danger 1988 - "Total Fiasco" is formed. Demon Child MC and Dekoy on vocal, DJ SNYPA and DJ Geta on the turntables and Image on live drums. 1989 - Cut "Method to the Madness" and "See how they Run". 500 copies are made (white label only). 1990 sees Total Fiasco disbanded and "Onslaught" formed. "The Bambi Murders" is cut at F1 Studio's Farringdon, under the management and guidance from DJ Son (Hardnoise). The DAT was sent to Music of Life, London and two days later Simon Harris, owner of M.O.L signed the track. Unfortunately due to another group in the USA having the same name, "Onslaught" had to be dropped and the new name "Killa Instinct" was created. 1990 The Bambi Murders is released in the UK and Europe and receives good reviews on the back of a No1 and No2 on the Richie Rich Sunday Rap Show and The Max and Dave midweek show, respectively. Killa are invited to do a 25 min live session at Kiss 100FM and the show goes out towards the end of that year. 1991 With the Bambi Murders still going strong Killa embark on the first of many European tours to Germany, all dates are sell-outs. UK dates follow... 1992 Cut "Den of Thieves" and "Un-United Kingdom" and further tour dates in the UK and abroad. The 12" goes to No3 and is played on Radio 1 on the John Peel sessions. This was the last project on Music of Life due to "differences" in recording thoughts and direction !! Lucas G, European Rhyme Records and manager of GUNSHOT! is brought on board as manager. 1993 new 3 track EP "Whispers of Hatred" drops and later followed by the 7 tracker "Escapism" released .. Records, Germany - Also in 1993 Killa Instinct play the European Hardcore Hip Hop festival in Bern, Switzerland with Silver Bullet and Gunshot to 3,000 people. This same year in Dec (Xmas Jam) at the Markt-Halle, Hamburg, Killa Instinct headline the Xmas Jam alongside top European crews and play to a packed hall (5,000 people). They played 32 dates this year across Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Czecoslovakia and Holland. 1994 Tours continue, CD's and vinyl shipping well and for the first time Killa has merchandising released in the form of posters, t-shirts, hoodies etc... 1995-1996 Killa Instinct continue with DJ Geta and MC Bandog and "Penultimate Sacrifice" is delivered. The EP does well and sets things up nicely for the much anticipated and imminent album "The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack to the film All Hell Breaks Loose". 1997 - Killa get to work on production of the album. New attitudes and perspectives steer the crew in to more diverse and experimental places and all signs are that A.H.B.L will be a fresh look at the uk Hardcore Hip Hop sound to which K.I had become synonymous with. After 5 months in the making and 25 tracks strong the album is finally delivered to MOVE head quarters. How ever the album is shelved as MOVE goes into receivership. 1998 - A despondent Killa Instinct is put on hold whilst other adventures are explored. 2003 - Six years after being made tracks from the album start to filter out and demand grows for an official release. UK Rap Records, owned by DJ Halo of The Criminal Minds, obliges and a small run of selected tracks is released on white label to critical acclaim.
