Industrial band, KILLER COUTURE has unleashed their aggressive and introspective new album, Everything Is Normal.
Writing music separately throughout the pandemic, the duo of Set Draven and Elliott Petrella were finally able to begin merging their ideas, and found that they both had taken on a more hard-edged, raw approach to their compositions, It is also the most energy and raw soul they have put into any songs they’ve ever written.
Everything Is Normal’s themes largely stem from the frustrations of the political upheaval of the time as well as mental health issues being exacerbated by quarantine. The album challenges that there ever was a status quo to begin with. It also addresses the people who feel the need to try and uphold the illusion, and the psychic maelstrom of living in the true chaotic reality beneath the mask.
Everything Is Normal is the first album to feature Elliott’s guitar-playing and songwriting skills. It’s also the band’s first album working with the talented post-punk and metal producer/musician, Pat Hills of Sacramento’s EarthTone Studios. Through Pat, KILLER COUTURE came into contact with the Bay Area’s independent label, Transylvanian Recordings, who were eager to take a chance on what they heard in the band.
Everything Is Normal will be available on all major digital platforms including Bandcamp and Spotify on October 31st. A limited-edition cassette is forthcoming via Transylvanian Recordings.
