Kill the Vultures is an American hip hop group from Minneapolis, Minnesota, formed in 2005. The duo consists of rapper Alexei "Crescent Moon" Casselle and producer Stephen "Anatomy" Lewis. They emerged as a spinoff of the mid-2000s group Oddjobs. Kill the Vultures released their self-titled debut album, Kill the Vultures (2005), which garnered critical acclaim for its dark, avant-garde sound. The album was named one of the best albums of 2005 from Minnesota by The A.V. Club and received positive attention in Europe, leading to concerts there and a substantial European following. They released their second album, The Careless Flame (2006), which continued their exploration of dark, noir-inflected hip-hop. The group was named Best Hip-Hop Artist by Minneapolis alt-weekly City Pages. Their most recent album, Carnelian (2015), was released.
