On their 7th album, long-time Australian friends Gerry and Lawrie (STUDUI-X) take a violent detour into the darkest corners of 90s industrial rock, elektro-metal and noisy guitar-driven madness, dragging their familiar electronic DNA through a particularly filthy reality. The result is their most extreme, abrasive and deliberately uncomfortable album to date.

“Welcome Home”. “Let Them Eat Violence”. “Bareback In Babylon”. “Our Trade Is War”. “The Devil Gets His Due”. The titles alone should probably be enough of a warning. This is AVARICE IN AUDIO watching a world that has stopped turning right and deciding that the appropriate response is to turn the volume up. Part dystopian videogame, part political nightmare, part industrial-rock fever dream, the album blurs satire and reality until you can no longer tell which one is more fucked up.

There are hooks. There is power. There is even fun to be had. But don’t expect an easy ride. “Welcome To Weimar America” is intentionally difficult to digest, occasionally revolting and gloriously excessive. Fans of the band’s darker synth-pop, harsh elektro and EBM-driven past may need to leave their comfort zone at the door.

Featuring longtime friend STATIC LOGIC on a 2026 reworking of “Let The Boreal Burn”, and artwork by Kallisti Design, this is AVARICE IN AUDIO throwing musical restraint out of the window and setting fire to whatever remains.

“Welcome to Weimar America”. Please keep your hands inside the vehicle. The dead are falling at every corner.

Packed with a whopping 17 tracks, “Tear Heaven In Half” is a sonic rollercoaster, blending genres and defying expectations. From the breakneck Drum N’ Bass frenzy of “Wicked Die Alone,” the searing techno beats of “You Are The Carbon,” to the hard-rock thump of “Who The Monsters Are,” this album refuses to be pinned down. It’s raw, dark, and aggressive when it wants to be, yet somehow finds space to be punchy, addictive, and ridiculously catchy.

“Tear Heaven In Half” feels like a wild, schizophrenic ride through the future of music—where distorted metallic vocals collide with sinister synths, only to make way for massive, floor-filling anthems like “Coffin On The Dancefloor” and “Leave The Kids Alone.” Every track offers something fresh, each one daring you to dive deeper into its chaotic yet electrifying world.

And they didn’t get it alone – this album features a lineup of killer collaborations, including Alaskan IDM maestro STATIC LOGIC, Canadian cyberpunk provocateur VIRTUAL TERRORIST, and Lawrie’s own solo project STUDIO-X.

With a grinding bassline, tribal percussion and Gerry’s penchant for in-your-face vocals and lyrics, “Drowning One” marks a very different sound compared to “Wicked Die Alone”. “Drowning One” starts off sounding like an industrial track from the 90’s before it reintroduces itself as a stomping tour de force.

In addition to the original track, four remixes have been curated. ANGEL OF VIOLENCE remixes the track into a cinematic, frantic affair, sounding like a soundtrack to a film not yet made. VISCERA DRIP bring a classic terror EBM flavour to the song, accentuating the club night nature while SINTHETIK MESSIAH and DIRTY K both experiment with more breakbeat style tracks, but go in very different directions.

“Tear Heaven In Half”, coming soon!

With a haunting, frenetic, fast paced beat produced by old friend STATIC LOGIC, tweaked and mixed by Lawrie, furious breakbeat rhythms are backed by Gerry’s sardonic crooning. The intensity flickers between the drums and the vocals, in a desperate conflagration, fighting for supremacy with neither winning out in the end, drowning in the chaos. Evoking a sort of THE PRODIGY on dark industrial acid!

Accentuated by an eclectic collection of remixes, from an intense metal remix by AGAINST I, a downtempo IDM remix by XSRY, a chilling, almost horror movie like remix by ANGEL OF VIOLENCE and a pulse quickening drum n’ bass remix by SOLID STATE, AVARICE IN AUDIO have delivered the perfect introduction to their next album. “Tear Heaven In Half”, coming 2024.

The second single from the newly released 5th AVARICE IN AUDIO album “Our Idols Are Filth” is here. “War Tanz” is a song about breaking the mold of conformity. Lawrie’s scorching production is on full display, featuring oppressive percussion and heavy distorted basslines to rock you to the core! On top of it, Gerry’s sardonic lyrics and screams tell their own story, one of refusing to bend to the powers that be. This is a cut that’s sure to captivate fans of COMBICHRIST, IVARDENSPHERE, FREAKANGEL and VELVET ACID CHRIST.

The title song gets accompanied by an extra 3 tracks, a remix by AVARICE IN AUDIO’s own STUDIO-X, Columbia’s remix killers ALIEN:NATION and an exclusive bonus track “Downer Grooves”, a carrying minimal electro groovy cut…

Rock on and never bend!

From the opener “Wholesome As Hollywood” to the closer “Shock Value”, “Our Idols Are Filth” is two things, a nostalgic love letter to the late 2000’s dark electro scene, and a vicious screed against the modern world. Eschewing the soundscapes of previous material, “Our Idols Are Filth” has been built from the ground up as an album for the clubs. Pulsating basslines, blistering percussion and garage band guitars mixed with the catchy synth work AVARICE IN AUDIO has become synonymous with, “Our Idols Are Filth” is a record for the world reopening after lockdown, to embrace the pain and dance it away all the same. It is a loud, unrelenting and violent assault on the senses from all angles.

Featuring collaborations with the prolific tribal EBM band IVARDENSPHERE and Italian industrial EBM project T-ERROR MACHINEZ, AVARICE IN AUDIO endeavour to bring you a harsh, stompy and aggressive album unapologetically designed for the dance floor. Inspired for your ultimate pleasure by 2000’s era DAWN OF ASHES, TACTICAL SEKT, SUICIDE COMMANDO, GRENDEL & ALIEN VAMPIRES.

The lead single from the forthcoming 5th AVARICE IN AUDIO album, “Our Idols Are Filth” is here. “The Language Of Violence” is as the name implies; a loud, unrelenting, violent assault on the senses from all angles. With Gerry’s familiar screams, Lawrie’s sharp production and alluring female vocals to accentuate the melody, “The Language Of Violence” presents itself as the perfect introduction to this new record. Unapologetically designed for the dance floor, ready to strike across the world, this is a stompy aggressive club track that will conquer all fans of ALIEN VAMPIRES, SUICIDE COMMANDO, GRENDEL and DAWN OF ASHES.

Accompanied by two extra remixes, one by aggrotech stalwarts VISCERA DRIP and the other by AVARICE IN AUDIO’s own Lawrie as STUDIO-X, and an exclusive banging bonus track between the two on top, “The Language Of Violence” shows that AVARICE IN AUDIO are a tour de force to be recognised, and to display what’s in store for the world come October. Countdown.

“I Pray” started out as the very first instrumental made under AVARICE IN AUDIO, and was originally a remix for another band. Undergoing numerous rewrites over the years, with dozens of different styles/takes, it was eventually defined by the chorus, written by Gerry, and performed by Ben alongside the legendary EBM titan, ASSEMBLAGE 23.

Augmented with remixes by Alfa Matrix’s very own SYNAPSYCHE & ELEKTROSTAUB, alongside Australian EBM band ANGEL THEORY and Texan electronica project MAALCAR, this single is one of AVARICE IN AUDIO’s finest offering the perfect balance between melodic future pop and harsh distorted elektro with a modern touch.

“Trojan Horse” is a deeply emotional song penned and performed by AVARICE IN AUDIO’s more sombre vocalist Ben Barwick, aided in production by both Lawrie and Gerry, even featuring some sounds from our own David Chamberlain of ENTRZELLE. The song feels like a goth industrial classic, between the pulsing electronics and Ben’s melancholy-filled vocals, beguiling the listener into a false sense of security before enveloping us in the torture the song has bubbling under the surface.

Completing this teaser for the EP are two different versions of “Trojan Horse” to round it out; the “Achilles Heel” version made by Gerry and Lawrie who have reimagined the song as a Futurepop / EBM dance track, and a remix by German cyberpunks BINARY DIVISION that enforce the isolation of the original and transform it into a dystopian masterpiece. And as an exclusive bonus track, we have “Hellfire Club”, another guaranteed club hit with its aggressive grooves and crossover appeal featuring the STUDIO-X & PROZIUM gang.

This is no ordinary release from AVARICE IN AUDIO, however. Complimenting this one is their first music video, made by performance artist SHARMAN REINKE, filmed in the wilderness of Tasmania, showing the dark undercurrents that AVARICE IN AUDIO have been cultivating for so long. For fans of IMPERATIVE REACTION, AESTHETIC PERFECTION and BLUTENGEL, this release and video will leave you wanting more “From The Rib Of Adam.”
