Killer, a NWOBHM inspired band from Belgium, was founded in 1980 by former Mothers Of Track members Paul "Shorty" Van Camp (lead guitar and lead vocals) and "Fat Leo" (drums).  "Spooky" (bass guitar and lead vocals) joined the band shortly thereafter.  Managed and advised by Alfie Falkenbach, Leo Felsenstein and Stonne Holmgren, who later founded Mausoleum, one of the first independent heavy metal labels, the band released their first record, Ready for Hell in 1981.  "Fat Leo", who was more of a rock and blues drummer, was replaced by "Double Bear" before the release of their second album, Wall of Sound.  One of the first releases of the newly formed mausoleum records label was Killers' third album Shockwaves, which received excellent reviews, was the springboard for the label signing new Belgian bands such as Ostrogoth, Crossfire, Acid, FN Guns, Bad Lizard and Lions Pride.

In 1985, Killer recorded a double live album in Antwerp using the Dieter Dierks' (Scorpions) mobile studio that unfortunately never saw daylight due to the financial problems of Mausoleum, which resulted in the loss of all the tapes.

A fourth album, Fatal Attraction, was recorded in Germany with new drummer Rudy Simmons and second guitar player Jan Van Springel.
