execunit
execunit‘s “Humanicide” is the new two-track single from the Swedish electronic project that blends industrial synthpop with krautrock-inspired electronics. The single is out now through Town And Towers Records and is available across streaming services.
The project is the work of Andreas Rimheden, who writes, performs and produces the music without the use of AI. The project takes its cues from the robotic music of Kraftwerk, the soundtrack work of John Carpenter, and early industrial and German krautrock, aiming for a sound built around electronics and rusted metal.
The single is available to stream and download across major platforms.
“Humanicide” follows execunit’s debut single “Rust”, which Side-Line covered in Execunit returns with ‘Rust’ single in March 2024, also released through Town And Towers Records. The project’s debut album “Prophecy” is on streaming services, and Town And Towers Records opens CD pre-orders for the new album on 8 July 2026.
About execunit
execunit is a Swedish electronic act based in Malmö and is the project of Andreas Rimheden, who also records as Eternity Range and was a member of the 1990s Swedish dark electronic group Morticians. Rimheden initialized execunit in 2022 to realize a long-held idea: a project that sounds as if it were made by machines, for machines, with a machine-like priest or prophet as its only voice.
The project signed to the Danish label Town And Towers Records and issued its first single, “Rust”, on 15 March 2024. Its lead vocals are mechanical and artificial, narrating a coming singularity in which machines become sentient and turn against their creators. The two-track single “Humanicide” continues that narrative and marks execunit’s move toward a darker, more club-focused sound ahead of the CD edition of the debut album “Prophecy”.
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.
