Book III - Chapter XVI - NONEXISTER "Demons" Record Release Episode

the Book Of Very Very Bad Things Podzine - a 3:33 A.M. Studios Production

Tonight we gather to celebrate DEMONS (out TODAY), the new album from Metallic Punk Industrialists NONEXISTER. Tonight we chat with songwriter, lyricists and vocal acrobat (his voice is sheer, unadulterated power) Nik Leuthold.

From their Bio: Zürich-based industrial metal band NONEXISTER is set to release their debut album Demons on March 15. The release thrives on the interplay between the energy of electronic music and the catharsis of heavy music. To celebrate, the band has shared a video for the track “A Promise In The Air.”

Producer and multi-instrumentalist Marco Neeser says about the new single, "'A Promise In The Air' is the antithesis of a pop song. It is long, it builds up slowly, it leads the listener astray by beginning with a pulsating synth line and seductive, intimate vocals, and then finally dissolving into an epic finale of guitars."

• The band has also shared videos for the tracks “Your Pain Up My Veins,” “Drowning In The Void,” and “How Do You Dare.”

• NONEXISTER thrives on the interplay of electronic energy and hard catharsis with a sound akin to an after-hours club at the end of the world.

• Demons is a journey through the unfathomable depths of human nature — that's what the lyrics are about and that's how it sounds. It is dramatic, possibly disturbing, sometimes ironic, and now and then, quite surprising.

• The album was recorded at Marco's home studio and New Sound Studio with producer Tommy Vetterli, known as the mastermind of Coroner and member of legendary thrashers Kreator, adding another dimension to the production. Vetterli also composed the backings and adlibs together with vocalist/co-producer Nik Leuthold.

• The “How Do You Dare” video was directed by Dave Bullivant and shot in Lithuania. The female lead was played by Brit Selina Jones, a rising star in the British theater sky, who won the 2022 Black British Theater Awards in the category "Best Female Actor in a Play," and has also appeared in the Netflix production Kaos, as well as the HBO Max series Raised By Wolves.

‘Demons’ is a journey through the depths of the human soul - dark, disturbing, dynamic,

contradictory, and deeply emotional. While it’s full of pummeling grooves that are ready for the mosh pit, there are also eerie, strange moments that gnaw at the listener’s brain. The band swings like a pendulum between moments of industrial ecstasy and mosh-worthy outbursts.
