===Sobriety and inspiration (1991 - 1993)===
Sebasstian came up with the band name while working at [[Microsoft]] as a landscape grunt.<ref name="indus_nation_8">{{cite journal |last1=Dankin |first1=Alexander |editor1-last=Valerio |editor1-first=Paul |title=KsK: Grunge Sucks |journal=Industrial Nation |date=Summer 1994 |volume=1 |issue=9 |page=44 |___location=Iowa City, IA |issn=1062-449X |publisher=Moon Mystique}}</ref> As the story goes, the mower he was using started to sputter and cough- so he thought aloud "Better hit the Kill Switch." Says Sebasstian:
{{cquote|As I reached down to shut the mower off, it was as if a light went off in my head. I had been looking for a band name for months and nothing seemed to fit the aggressive electronic direction my music was taking. The words "Kill Switch" kept rolling around in my head all afternoon. This was at the same time [[Jeffrey Dahmer]] was all over the news for his cannibalistic antics. A random thought of Dahmer with a switch on the side of his head marked "Kill" came to me. I thought what if Dahmer had a Kill Switch that went "Klick" and he instantly changed into the strange creature he eventually became. Klick was an after thought, so I have always written the name with the ellipses.}}
