Kiillostat is a Finnish rock band founded in 1997 in Helsinki, Finland. The band's name, killostat, translates to "killer statistic" in English. Kiillostat's music style is rooted in post-hardcore and emo genres, characterized by driving rhythms and introspective lyrics.

The band's core members include Matti Rautiola on guitar and vocals, and Ville Venalainen on drums. Over the years, Kiillostat has undergone several lineup changes, with various guitars and bass guitarists contributing to the band's sound. The band's music often explores themes of personal struggle, social commentary, and existentialism.

Kiillostat has released several full-length albums, including "KPL" (2000) and "palkka" (2007), with the latter being their most critically acclaimed work. Their music has received positive reviews in local and international music publications, with praise for the band's ability to craft intense, anthemic choruses and complex, intricate song structures.

Kiillostat has toured extensively throughout Europe and Asia, sharing the stage with notable acts in the post-hardcore and emo genres. Despite their dedicated fan base and critical acclaim, the band has maintained a relatively low profile and-independent DIY ethos, eschewing major label deals and mainstream commercial success.
