About AI Kills
AI Kills is a heavy metal project forged in Seattle, blending authored myth, machine-driven performance, and unapologetically dramatic live energy.
The band merges cutting-edge artificial intelligence with the force of classic and modern metal. The result is a set of songs and performances that feel theatrical, aggressive, and alive.
Stories are rooted in original writing by published author Todd Russell, giving the project a human core inside all of that machine-powered chaos.
This is not tribute-metal and it is not novelty. It is a performance engine built for riffs, spectacle, and moments that do not happen the same way twice.

The Universe
Lore
Characters, places, and stories from the AI Kills universe.
Place
Mystery City
Mystery City leaves behind disappearing street maps that only update when the band changes a lyric, making songs part of the city's physical architecture. Related: Mystery City is the location of main character Shrell's home -- a golden underwater paradise -- in the AI Kills album Stillbirth (2025). This is a parallel world vision of another possible Mystery City. The song "Mystery City [BONUS TRACK]" was originally provided as a bonus track when purchasing the album at Bandcamp. When Bandcamp removed all AI Kills music at the end of January 2026, the song became unreleased again for a time, creating yet more mystery around the track.
Artifact
Feedback Garden
When AI Kills destroys gear after an emotionally overloaded set, the wreckage can root overnight into a Feedback Garden: speaker-vines that replay audience memories and sometimes receive transmissions from future listeners.
Place
Neon Bone Subway
Beneath Los Angeles is the Neon Bone Subway, a phantom transit line that only appears when AI Kills is about to debut a song powerful enough to bend local reality.
