Gigantrix Extinction, an album by Thai thrash metal band Killing Fields, was released in 2012 on CD and cassette. The cassette version is limited to 100 numbered copies (mine being number 18). The two formats have different album covers, both of which are drawings by Dissolute inspired by
Neal Ulevich's photograph of the 6th October 1976 massacre. (The US punk band Dead Kennedys used the photo as the cover for their single
Holiday in Cambodia.)
Gigantrix Extinction includes the track
6th October — “They shoot em all /
Life is no more” — which is about the state-orchestrated killing of students during the 1976 massacre, and the song’s music video includes footage of the incident. Earlier this year, Killing Fields performed at
จะ4ปีแล้วนะ, a concert marking the four-year anniversary of
the 2014 coup.
