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.

Final Australian tour dates in May/June 2008 have now been released. The supporting acts for the 'Say Goodbye' tour are Bring Me the Horizon, The Red Shore and The Ghost Inside. After much fan speculation, Michael Crafter will be returning to front the band on their last tour.

No doubt. I would love to see them live as well.

I can't stop listening to Slain Upon My Faithful Sword. The guitar work is fucking amazing. I love the use of pinch harmonics. Amazing drumming as well!

I was uber bummed out when I heard they broke up Sad

ADELAIDE REPRESENT. =D
Yerr, they're from my city. It makes me madly happy.

I wanted to go see them at The Gov on the 3rd of June, but my parents aren't keen on letting me.
But I'm glad they've all pursued their own projects.
In particular:

Definitely. They are quite amazing.

I think their concerts would be awesome but the pit would probably be brutal. I'd get the shit kicked out of me x10.

"good time. . Tour starts soon.

So i bassicly put my hand up.. Told every one about the tour and that i didnt wanna leave next week by walking out. . And take away someone elses chance to stay in there ..

i love this band!!!!!
Ed Butcher's new band, Eternal Lord, is really cool too.
My brother's in a band, and he got one of his friend who has a small booking agency to try and get Eternal Lord to come to Kansas(that's where i live) and play a show.
My bro's friend called and said their coming.
His band might even get to open up for them!!

oh are you serious??! ok i'm slowly piecing it all together- Michael who was in BB is a guy from IKTPQ? (or WKTPQ ahahha) that was timely, evicting himself. And i didn't know you were going, Jules!

it's weird but I've only started to like them after they broke up.
