Background

The album was announced by UK website Metal Hammer on 29 April 2013. On the subject, lead singer Benji Webbe said:

Kill The Power is our fifth studio album...We are more than excited to unleash this Skindred bomb on the world! Kill The Power is for all them that are sick of being the underdog, and wanna step up and destroy all those who oppress and hold them down! Use this album as a backdrop to overcome and take your life back! We ain’t fighting the power no more – we are definitely killing it!!

[4]

Dan Pugsley stated about the album title, "It’s more the idea that in life we have things that stand barriers, it might be a relationship or a habit and it's about facing those things, rather than it being purely political".[5]
