It is with supreme pleasure that ANNIHILVS POWER ELECTRONIX presents the US tour of BRIGHTER DEATH NOW, DEUTSCH NEPAL, and raison d’être, who return to the States together for the first time since 2004.
• BRIGHTER DEATH NOW (Sweden)
Taking a shameless, cynical, and comical look into the basest and worst aspects of the human condition, BDN is one of the single most influential industrial acts of the past two decades. Responsible for the coinage of the genre that is known as “deathindustrial”, Roger Karmanik — founder of the seminal record label COLD MEAT INDUSTRY — has provided the world of dark, harsh music with some of its finest exemplars.

• DEUTSCH NEPAL (Sweden)
Herr Generalstaab Lina Baby Doll has been active as DEUTSCH NEPAL for more than two decades, having evolved over time into a sort of “industrial crooner”, standing at the front and belting out tribal anthems over martial rhythms; dystopian drinking songs for the party at the end of the world.

• raison d’être (Sweden)
Peter Andersson stands as one of the most important artists working under the “darkambient” monicker, crafting some of the genre’s most incredibly somber and emotionally impactful work. The sound of raison d’être is immediately recognisable and punctuated by utterly, overpoweringly beautiful, bleakness.

• HIVE MIND (US)
“Whatever rise to the synthesizer came later on in the 00’s is hardly of any concern to Greh Holger and his Hive Mind project. Having released private press cassettes of solo synth works as far back as 2002, Hive Mind exists as enigmatic in world of new-jack synthheads and the tidal wave of "neo kosmische” that goes with it by flying far under it’s radar…
While others are racing for the stars, Hive Mind’s tetonic plate shifting and brutal rumble will give you a brand new way to look at modern synthesizer composition. With a focus on textural sounds and shifting frequency registers, this album gives the listener the a full range of listening possibilities with infinite replay value.“

• POST SCRIPTVM (US)
"The music of Post Scriptum is best described as dark ambient with old school industrial, power electronics, noise, and experimental influences. Marginal Existence does not fit neatly into any one category but rather stretches itself across a number of genres incorporating varying sounds into a catastrophic musical force that penetrates the listeners mind and undermines all sense of security and mental stability. The above-mentioned musical elements are carefully constructed into dark songs driven by morose frequencies, cascading noise, industrial noise assaults and unsettling sound samples. The music never settles into any given pattern nor is the narrative direct or predictable. Rather the listener is propelled through a sonic voyage of harnessed aggression, isolationism, and mental anguish.”
