Industrial band, Elektrikill<\/strong> recently unveiled their latest full-length release, Monsters.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monsters<\/em><\/strong> 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\u2019s songs deal with life in the internet\/social media age, culminating with the song “Your Browser Is” – a comment on targeted information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Musically, Monsters<\/strong><\/em> has two distinct sections: the first six songs were given a club-vibe while the second eight songs were based on Steve Vil\u2019s 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. Furthermore, the aforementioned closing track, “Your Browser Is”, hints towards Elektrikil<\/strong>l\u2019s future sound: a heavy beat, spooky synths and huge bursts of industrial noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vil\u2019s musical influences range from early industrial innovators like\u00a0Cabaret Voltaire, Gary Numan, Skinny Puppy\u00a0<\/strong>&\u00a0Ministry\u00a0<\/strong>to the future industrial sound makers like\u00a0KMFDM, Laibach<\/strong>\u00a0&\u00a0Rammstein<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
