Elektrikill Reveals The Darker Sides Of The Human Condition With ‘Monsters’

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

July 25, 2023 – 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 Steve 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. Furthermore, the aforementioned closing track, “Your Browser Is”, hints towards 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, Gary Numan, Skinny Puppy & Ministry to the future industrial sound makers like KMFDM, Laibach & Rammstein.

Elektrikill was formed by industrial musician, Steve Vil in 2021.
 
Vil was the founder of the industrial band Signal To Noise whose first album We’re Here To Help was released in 2000 before Vil broke up the band. Two songs from the album; embryonic versions of Drugs And Candy and That Will Be What Kills Me appeared on the soundtrack for the award-winning film,
Grace And The Storm.
 
Vil played in other bands before moving into film soundtrack work. Vil’s first film score was for the horror/comedy, The Pizza Man. Vil also scored the film, Coma for acclaimed Shudder director Jeremiah Kipp before scoring the horror/comedy, No Clowning Around. Vil also wrote and performed the theme music for the anthology series, Horror Shop Radio while the new version of Drugs And Candy will be the theme song for the forthcoming TV series of the same name.
 
Though he occasionally performs with an additional keyboardist, Vil ordinarily performs solo, accompanied by his synthesizer and a multimedia show including TV-headed mannequins, projections and a satanic clown. Vil’s shows have made him a favorite act in the Pennsylvania industrial scene.
