Bleak Monday releases video for ‘Shelter’
German industrial death-wave trio Bleak Monday has released a new video for “Shelter”, a track pulled from their upcoming debut album.
Karlsruhe, Germany industrial death-wave trio Bleak Monday has released a video for Shelter, a single issued on Bandcamp on July 31, 2026. The track is drawn from Bleak Monday’s upcoming debut album, “Bad Music”, which does not yet have a confirmed release date.
The video for “Shelter” was directed by Natascha Gaballo. It is the latest visual release from the band, which has built its catalogue independently since forming in December 2022.
“Shelter” follows Bleak Monday’s 2024 single “Human Needs”, released December 13, 2024, and the band’s earlier EP “flies”. The new track continues the project’s industrial death-wave sound, pairing distorted guitar and synth textures with vocalist Kim Ryder’s delivery.

Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil. Besides music I’m also an SEO and AI content flow specialist and have an interest in everything finance from stocks to crypto. There is music in everything!
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
