Schkeuditzer Kreuz releases debut full length album "Isolated and Alone"
Australian raw industrial, synth, and electro act Schkeuditzer Kreuz has released their debut, full-length album "Isolated and Alone". Kieren Hills, founder of the act, has a history in the Australian and New Zealand anarcho-punk, deathrock, hardcore, grind, crust, noise, and other underground scenes. "Isolated and Alone" has been released via Pyrrhic Defeat Records in Europe, and on Bad Habit Records and Already Broken Records in Australia. If that's not enough, Schkeuditzer Kreuz has the album available via their own record label, Dorfpunk Tapes. The project has also recently released a music video for the single 'Broken' which can be viewed directly below.

I wrote 'Isolated and Alone' pretty much direct on the tail of the first EP – 'Give Me Nothing', which was released with an extensive tour of Eastern Australia in March 2021. At first, I was writing songs just to flesh out a set for touring, but I later refined and reworked them for recording and release. These 8 songs are the direction that Schkeuditzer Kreuz has been heading since the first record. Initially slated for an October release, unfortunately the authorities in the country where the record was pressed deemed the contents unfit for export so destroyed everything.
The sound of the record revolves around the feeling of hopelessness, despair, and isolation that has been so prevalent over the past couple years as the world has descended into a boiling mess of fear, mistrust, pain, and paranoia as the virus gives us a sneak peak of how our species will end itself. An expression of the mix of hostility and loneliness that we have all endured and which none of us felt prepared for. -Kieren

info@brutalresonance.comI've been writing for Brutal Resonance since November of 2012 and now serve as the editor-in-chief. I love the dark electronic underground and usually have too much to listen to at once but I love it. I am also an editor at Aggressive Deprivation, a digital/physical magazine since March of 2016. I support the scene as much as I can from my humble laptop.
