Sofa King Killer was an American sludge metal band from Akron, Ohio.

Sofa King Killer's (abbreviated as SKK) vision was to create a hybrid band of different genres including doom metal, sludge metal, rock and roll and punk rock. The band was known for guitar riffs inspired by Black Sabbath, drums of the Melvins and the vocals of Eyehategod.

Forming in 1999, Sofa King Killer was part of the Akron and Cleveland heavy metal scene. They played in Greater Cleveland, Ohio with the likes of Abdullah, Boulder, Fistula , Keelhaul, Rebreather], and Rue. They were associated to bands such as Alabama Thunderpussy, Beaten Back To Pure, Mugwart and Weedeater mainly for their sludge metal sound inspired by southern rock.

In 2000, Sofa King Killer released Stout-Soaked Songs independently. Shifty Records (USA) discovered them and set up plans to release a Mini CD with the sludge metal band Fistula. Around the same time of this release Gary, owner of Shifty Records (USA) sent a demo of Stout-Soaked songs to Tony Presedo of Tee Pee Records to be released as a split ep with Leechmilk from Atlanta, Georgia in 2001.
