I Killed the Prom Queen is a metalcore band from Adelaide, South Australia.
The band toured in the USA with Caliban, Evergreen Terrace, It Dies Today and Lamb Of God along with Silverstein and Bleeding Through. I Killed The Prom Queen's most recent, and last, record, Music for The Recently Deceased (released July 31, 2006), was produced by Swedish producer Fredrik Nordstrom, who former credits include Dimmu Borgir, Darkest Hour, At the Gates and In Flames. The record has been described as a display of Australian metal/metalcore, merging with the so-called "Gothenburg sound". Blunt Magazine's reviewer James Cotterell gave the record 10/10.
In 2006, vocalist Michael Crafter was kicked out of the band. He later joined Carpathian, and then for a brief time joined US band Bury Your Dead. His final recording with I Killed the Prom Queen was the "Your Past Comes Back to Haunt You" EP. Although he had recorded the vocals for Music for the Recently Deceased, it was decided that the vocal contributions would be taken off the unreleased album and replaced by those of a new vocalist. Ed Butcher from British band The Hunt For Ida Wave was recruited and added his own lyrics, although many of the tracks remained similar to the original lyrics. After this the band took on a slightly different sound.
On January 31, 2007 Ed Butcher flew back to his home town in the UK. In a statement released later by the band it was announced that he was homesick and that he was no longer a part of the group. Butcher has since joined UK band Eternal Lord.
Tyrone from Mourning Tide temporarily filled the vocalist position during Japanese tour dates, and Colin Jeffs (of Bendigo band Heavens Lost) filled in on the European tour with the UK's Bring Me the Horizon. However, on April 7, 2007 I Killed the Prom Queen announced their break up, citing both an inability to find a new vocalist and guitarist following Jona Weinhofen's departure for Orange County metalcore band Bleeding Through.
