Elektrikill
– Monsters (album)
Released: 1 April 2023
This is an album that showcases what a great band they are.
The imaginative use of synths, melodies and deep, heavy beats is fantastic for one album.
The vocals are dark and angry but invoke incredible feelings of power.
The variations of artistic talent on this album are astonishing expect so many different variations of style but all perfectly fit with the institutional umbrella.
I have been so lucky to hear so many great albums this year, and this is definitely on my top ten list.
Track 1 – Ravenous is just fast-paced, deep beats and incredible melodies.
Track 7 – Requiem is a complete contrast, starting as an almost rock symphony with powerful drum beats and symphony accompanying it, then bang enters a beautifully crafted melody to die for.
This album is pure music art crafted with love and talent on a scale not often heard.
This is Industrial that has its own life out of the box.
OUTSTANDING
Industrial band, Elektrikill recently unveiled their latest full-length release, Monsters.
Monsters deals with the dark side of the human condition. We’re all monsters, one way or another. The connections are all the ways someone can be hiding a monster. The album’s songs deal with life in the internet/social media age, culminating with the song “Your Browser Is”, a comment on targeted information.
Musically, Monsters has two distinct sections: the first six songs were given a club-vibe while the second eight songs were based on Vil’s time as a soundtrack composer: “Requiem”, for example, began as an instrumental piece used in the climactic overdose death scene of a character in one of the films Vil scored.
The album concludes with “Your Browser Is”, a hint toward Elektrikill’s future sound: a heavy beat, spooky synths and huge bursts of industrial noise.
Vil’s musical influences range from early industrial innovators like Cabaret Voltaire, Skinny Puppy & Ministry to the future industrial sound makers like KMFDM, Laibach & Rammstein.
Die Industrieband Elektrikill hat kürzlich ihre neueste Veröffentlichung in voller Länge, Monsters, vorgestellt.
Monsters beschäftigt sich mit der dunklen Seite des menschlichen Zustands. Wir sind alle Monster, auf die eine oder andere Weise. Die Verbindungen sind alle Möglichkeiten, wie jemand ein Monster verstecken kann. Die Songs des Albums befassen sich mit dem Leben im Internet-/Social-Media-Alter und gipfeln mit dem Song “Your Browser Is”, einem Kommentar zu gezielten Informationen.
Musikalisch hat Monsters zwei verschiedene Abschnitte: Die ersten sechs Songs erhielten einen Club-Vibe, während die zweiten acht Songs auf Vils Zeit als Soundtrack-Komponist basierten: “Requiem” zum Beispiel begann als Instrumentalstück, das in der Höhepunkt der Überdosis-Todesszene eines Charakters in einem der Filme verwendet wurde, die Vil erzielte.
Das Album endet mit “Your Browser Is”, einem Hinweis auf den zukünftigen Sound von Elektrikill: einem schweren Beat, gruseligen Synthesizern und riesigen Ausbrüchen von industriellem Rauschen.
Vils musikalische Einflüsse reichen von frühen industriellen Innovatoren wie Cabaret Voltaire, Skinny Puppy & Ministry bis hin zu den zukünftigen industriellen Soundmachern wie KMFDM, Laibach & Rammstein.
