When the band released their first professionally merchandised EP 'Fight the Start' on 17 April 2007, the band changed their name, which is derived from a character of Carl Zuckmayer's play The Captain of Köpenick (play), from 'The Kilians' to 'Kilians'. In summer 2007, Kilians once again toured Germany and played at Rock am Ring and other festivals. The band’s debut album Kill the Kilians was released on 7 September 2007 and reached number 75 of the official German music charts.
