Kill No Albatross

Kill No Albatross (formerly Gatling) was a Canadian band formed by Alexander Sallas and Alex Crosty in November 2007 in Burlington, Ontario. Their music is associated with progressive metal and alternative rock, though there are ambient, post-hardcore, and jazz influences as well. The band is noted for having two songs in the Rock Band video game series: "Nihilanth" [1][2][3] and "Absolute," [4][5][6] the former being one of the hardest guitar songs in the game with a section topping 25 notes per second. Their song "The Disguise" was featured regularly on CFRB's The Richard Syrett Show before the show was discontinued.[7][8] Their debut full-length album, Beforemath, was released independently, despite record label interest, in April 2012. [9][10][11][12]
