Diamond Terrifier is the solo project of Sam Hillmer, the saxophonist and one of the founding members of Zs. The sound is what one can expect from a member of Zs: a surprisingly fresh take on old ideas and inventive techniques that wow the listener. In Diamond Terrifier's case, it's something of a drone/electronic/ jazzy genre that borders on noise.

Diamond Terrifier's Kill the Self That Wants to Kill Yourself showcases Sam Hillmer's creativity and willingness to give his all to avant-gardism. The album can get extraordinarily abrasive at points, fun and dance-like at others, oddly transcendental at others, and goes to a lot of different and interesting places guaranteed to take the listener for a grand spin. Hillmer's saxophone playing on the album is nothing short of brilliant and the accompanying electronica/drone atmospheres are great as well.

Here's a video of a live performance (Youtube doesn't have any tracks straight off of the album):



So, any thoughts on the project? Do you think that Hillmer is going to carry on after this album or will it stop at this point? If anybody wants a link to the album I can help you out.
