Alfa Matrix proudly resurrects one of the most iconic and uncompromising forces of the dark electro / industrial scene: UNTER NULL.

“The Rise From Ruin [and the Ritual of Becoming]” is an exclusive limited edition double-CD digipak featuring an extended booklet and a carefully curated selection of the material that defined a generation of harsh electronic music taken from releases that have been sold out for years and remain highly sought-after by fans.

At its core stands the legendary debut album “The Failure Epiphany” – a raw and visceral manifesto that unleashed cult anthems like “Your Nightmare” and “Sick Fuck”, and established Erica Dunham as a singular, confrontational voice in a male-dominated EBM scene. Distorted vocals, relentless beats and suffocating atmospheres made UNTER NULL an instant reference in the dark elektro/industrial genre.

The second disc dives deeper into the project’s early era, compiling essential and long-deleted tracks from the “Sick Fuck”, “Sacrament” and “Absolution” Eps. A series of powerful remixes by artists such as Noisuf-X vs. X-Fusion, Grendel, Aslan Faction, KiEw and others complete this retrospective journey into controlled chaos.

More than a re-release, this double album captures the essence and intensity of UNTER NULL’s origins – uncompromising, obsessive, and brutally honest.

Following her recent return to the scene with new material, this release offers the perfect bridge – giving fans a chance to (re)discover these long unavailable works while waiting for the next chapter to unfold.

A cult legacy.

A necessary resurrection.

A ritual already in motion.

Fueled by raw emotion and cutting honesty, the title track is a devastating dark elektro anthem built from real-life scars. It drags narcissistic abuse and its enablers into the harsh light, pulling no punches: “You knew what he did / You knew of his lies / You gave up your morals for your motherfucking pride.” This is not a song of defeat – it’s a battle cry. A reclaiming of power. A voice for the erased.

“I wrote this because I was tired of being erased”, says Erica. “It’s for anyone who has screamed the truth into a void while everyone else nodded along with the abuser”.

Also featured is the haunting yet defiant “Coming Up To Breathe”, reimagined as well in three powerful remixes: C-LEKKTOR brings his signature dark pulse, LEAETHER STRIP injects classic EBM fire with a melodic touch, and rising force FRONTAL BOUNDARY adds a fierce modern twist.

“You Made A Monster” is not just an EP. It’s a statement. It’s UNTER NULL – louder, stronger, and more intentional than ever.

Play it loud. Feel every word. And never be silent again.

After 20 years since her explosive debut “The Failure Epiphany” and over a decade of silence, Erica Dunham resurrects UNTER NULL with a brand-new song: “Coming Up to Breathe”. More than just a track – it’s a statement. A bold declaration of renewal, strength, and creative rebirth.

“This song marks the end of a long period of reflection,” says Erica. “It’s about reclaiming my voice, stepping into a new chapter, and unlocking the full energy of UNTER NULL once again.”

With a new live band, new collaborations, and big plans for 2025, the beast is unchained and ready to roar. And as a special thank-you to the fans, this first release will be available for FREE (pay as you wish) via Alfa Matrix’s official Bandcamp page.

The wait is over: UNTER NULL is back. Louder, stronger, and more intentional than ever. Are you ready?

“Letting Go” is a lot darker in content, confirming to us that STRAY was neither meant to be a ‘light’ project, nor was it meant to be ‘happy’ because Erica’s main band UNTER NULL is actually quite angry and pissed off. STRAY kind of reflects the feelings of despair and sadness when that anger wears off. This album is actually a great departure from any of her previous works, it’s a lot more polished and full of layered and lush-sounding tracks. Emotional piano tunes echo with melodic electronic sequences and get accelerated by pulsing beats and vibrating bass lines led by Erica’s half-sung half-spoken poignant vocals. The material is melancholy, bittersweet, and a lot of yearning, needing, wanting, and desiring is involved. It’s about feeling disconnected from the rest of the world, from society, from your peers, from your friends, your loved ones, and your family. A track like “Out of Place” kind of sums up that feeling quite well in so many words. Other tracks, such as “No Vacancy”, “Let Me Go”, are sincere with the idea of not understanding peoples’ actions and words, and feeling frustrated without necessary closure. 

We will also notice the exciting remake of UNTER NULL’s “Failure Epiphany” or yet an open reinterpretation of The Flashbulb’s “Passage D”… The album is also available as a deluxe 2CD carton box with a bonus disc including 3 exclusive bonus tracks and remixes by Marc Hurtado / SOL IXENT, KANT KINO, GRENDEL, IVARDENSPHERE, METROLAND, INTERFACE, AESTHETISCHE, KEEF BAKER, MARI CHROME, etc.

Next to this, online orders at www.alfa-matrix.com get the “Holding On” (carton sleeve) bonus album as an extra. This 3rd disc is limited to 99 copies.

STRAY’s sound is identified more by the reverent side of the human spirit, and once viewed through her heart, one can perceive hope and light at the end of this trancey tunnel of melancholy, melodies carrying clear sequences, bittersweet words and mesmerising atmospheres. There is the hope of life even in the darkest of valleys and nature has progressively started taking over again.

Erica unveils with this project an unexpected coiled side of her enigmatic persona and colours her unique intricate song-writing style with a lighter 80’stainted tone. STRAY has a big heart and an open soul yet still has so much more to share. Embrace it.

The deluxe 2CD carton box comes with a bonus disc including several exclusive bonus tracks and remixes.
