The Killer and the Star was a musical side project started by American musician Scooter Ward, frontman of the band Cold.
Five demos were put out on the band's MySpace player: "My Heart", "Symphony for a Mad World", "Let the Rain Begin", "Questions" and "Starts When You Fall".
On June 25, Scooter Ward announced that John Otto from Limp Bizkit would be playing the drums on the upcoming debut album.
Additional rehearsal and practice videos have been posted on the band's official YouTube channel, where it was also announced that Michael Harris from Idiot Pilot would help out on the studio guitars.
Scooter announced on "Alternative Addiction" that the debut self-titled album would be released in the second week of July via SonicStar Records, a label he co-developed with Toby McDonald.
