I Killed the Prom Queen

The band have suffered from instability in their lineup throughout their career, with founder Jona Weinhofen (guitar) being the only original member who has remained in the band for its entirety. However, they nonetheless became one of the most well established metalcore bands in Australia, also breaking into an international audience. The band released their first album in 2003, inspired by the epic sound of Killswitch Engage and Shadows Fall, titled "When Goodbye Means Forever…" Following the release, they embarked on several months touring, alongside the likes of Caliban, Lamb of God, Silverstein, Bleeding Through and Between the Buried and Me."

They followed up their debut release with "Music for the Recently Deceased" in 2006, on Metal Blade Records, with the album being produced by Fredrik Nordström, who had previously worked with Dimmu Borgir, Darkest Hour and At the Gates. The album faired well in the Australian charts and made an impact in the US metalcore scene. With the band struggling to find a consistent lineup and Weinhofen receiving an offer to play for California, US band, Bleeding Through, I Killed the Prom Queen decided to discontinue, embarking on what would become a three year split. Prior to splitting, they conducted a farewell tour in Australia, with support from Bring Me the Horizon, the Red Shore and the Ghost Inside, playing to sell-out crowds on 18 dates.

In May 2011, the band reformed to embark on a national tour, which then led to them finally finding a stable vocalist in ex-Red Shore member, Jamie Hope, with Weinhofen also returning. Fans were given a brief display of their new sound with the 2012 single, "Memento Vivere," helping to build anticipation for their third album.. Two years later, it was released, again recruiting the production talents of Fredrick Nordström for 2014's "Beloved."The album was released on Epitaph Records. The album was greeted with positive critical praise, displaying a strong comeback for the band.
