DRILL is a Metalcore band from St. Gallen, Switzerland, founded in 2018.
With DRILL, the name says it all. The five guys drill their way into the heads of their listeners with brute force and uncompromising heaviness. Jérémie Gonzalez, the band's songwriter, fulfills all his dark breakdown and two-step dreams with this project. On stage, the band and their music unleash their full energy and put a smile on the face of every fan of the cultivated mosh pit.
Since their formation, they have released several singles and EPs under their own name. The best-known hit of this era is "Trap ft. Paleface Swiss". The band has evolved significantly over the years and released their carefully crafted and boldly produced first full-length record, "Hommage", in March 2024. Their songs are heavy, technical and at the same time blunt and unhinged. They are a wild mix with elements from Hardcore to Deathcore, but above all, they are fun.
August 2026 – The new era of DRILL begins with their most ambitious project to date. The “Catharsis” EP, mixed by Billboard #1 producer Josh Schroeder, unveils a completely new energy, aesthetic, and emotional depth, marking a bold new chapter for the band.
Among the most notable milestones are their appearance at the BandXOst edition of 2024, where they won the audience award, their performance at the legendary Open Air Gränichen, as well as their sold-out show at X-TRA Zurich as support for Paleface Swiss. In addition, DRILL was one of the artists selected for the 2025 m4music Award nominations in the «Rock» category.
DRILL is queer.
