Stand by the Innovators.

news from THE HORRORIST
New studio. New Music.

Recording in Berlin, a new album and remixes.

Metal doors, security locks, alarm system, soundproofing and sound treatment were installed last week at Oliver Chesler's new recording studio in Berlin, Germany. Now he sets off in finishing the last remaining songs on his next album: Attack Decay. "I wanted to finish this in Berlin with new inspiration and new space" says Chesler. So what will the new album sound like? "Think EBM (Electronic Body Music), "Synthpunk", even New Wave. I'm working to reach a balance between music that sounds great on your iPod but also works perfectly live."

What else are you working on? "I have a string of projects coming up with other people including records with John Selway, The Hacker (ed. and other big name french acts!), Swiss visual artist Elena Montesions, Mark Hawkins (Tresor) and some others I can't tell you about yet".

The Horrorist Interview with Skruff Magazine.

Jonty Skruff talks with Oliver Chesler.

The London based politcal techno newsletter Skruff is quite popular and sometimes hilarous. Here is a recent chat with The Horrorist that appeared in last weeks edition:
The Horrorist Defends Zombie Ravers To The Grave

US zombie rave icon The Horrorist (aka Oliver Chessler) this week condemned cops who busted seven ravers for possessing 'simulated weapons of mass destruction' recently, after the revellers danced around portable stereos on a Minneapolis street corner.

"I actually like to call them 'Gravers' and sometimes I admit I'm one too," said Oliver, "The police who arrested the freaks just didn't like the loud music. I really miss the days of the boom-box. People need to hear what artists are saying whether they like it or not," he said.

The American star also spoke out about zombie raver psycho killer Kyle Huff who shot six revellers dead in Seattle last March, before turning his gun on himself.

"As far as Kyle Huff is concerned, I've got two things to say," he declared. "Firstly, he was from Montana and as we all know they are all murderers there. And secondly he was a drummer so either he thought the drum machine was taking jobs from him or he's like all drummers... a douche bag," he scoffed.

Oliver, who recently moved to Germany from New York, said he feels considerably safer in his new home, explaining 'its always dangerous to stand out and look different, but living in Berlin is cool because this place is filled with goths and lots of older ladies have green or blue hair."

He also welcomed the Sunday Times' prediction this week that Gothic eye make-up is 'set for a big Autumn comeback', declaring 'I'm so into it- Let the darkness enter, everyone in black."

The return of Goth was first predicted by indie uber-hipster Steve Mason of the now disbanded Beta Band who in 2004 admitted to being secretly impressed by the flamboyant misfits.
