(New York, NY) - In advance of its release date NYC metallers IKILLYA's new album WAR FOR AN IDEA is now available to stream in full via Decibel today.  Of the album, IKILLYA frontman Jason Lekberg commented, ""WAR FOR AN IDEA is both a description of our personal journeys in making the album and our intent in releasing the album.  Musically it's the most satisfied we've been in the discovery of our sound and lyrically it's the most confrontational.  This is not hiding in the bushes at night to light an empty church on fire.  This is a face to face dismantling of the institution and ideals."  WAR FOR AN IDEA will be released this Friday via Urban Yeti Records.  Click here for album art.  WAR FOR AN IDEA can be pre-ordered here (physical) and digitally here.

WAR FOR AN IDEA is receiving early rave reviews from the press with Decibel giving it 8 out of 10 and declaring "The New York-based thrash/groove metal quartet more than live up to their rep for relentless aggression on WAR FOR AN IDEA, but never at the expense of finesse.  IKILLYA approach the weird bits that ultimately make their third album more than a mere collection of killer songs with just as much restraint and consideration..."  Skulls N' Bones deemed it, "their most ferocious release...this is more than just an album.  It's a confrontational demand for sanity in a world that has lost its mind".  IKILLYA hits the road today on a nationwide trek in support of the album.  Please see below for tour dates, including the annual charity event in honor of Dimebag Darrell, Ride For Dime, on August 26th at the Starland Ballroom in Sayreville, NJ.

Of IKILLYA's music, Metal Hammer declared IKILLYA, "As startling and destructive as a beer bottle to the back of the skull", while Artist Direct avowed that the band are "New York's finest purveyors of true metal".  IKILLYA has toured with such heavy music legends as Danzig, Biohazard, Fear Factory and more.  The band is part of hip hop artist Yelawolf's Slumerican family and is the only metal group with that distinction.  IKILLYA is Jason Lekberg (vocals), Eric Jackson (guitars), Rob Broderick (bass) and Andrew Maciejewski (drums).
