NOVAkILL unveil 2025 album ‘BeLIEve’ via Repo Records
NOVAkILL unveil new album "BeLIEve" via Repo Records
Australian electro-industrial duo NOVAkILL release their seventh album “BeLIEve” as a digital-only set via Repo Records on 21 November 2025. The 12-track album follows 2024’s “Artifice” and features the band’s trademark mix of dark EBM and cyber-influenced electronics, straight from their base in Sydney, Australia.
“BeLIEve” holds 12 songs. The album track “Fight!” already appeared as a three-track digital single via Repo Records, pairing different versions of the song with a cover of Ultravox’s “The Man Who Dies Every Day”. That single was introduced earlier in November as a lead-in to the album “BeLIEve”.
You can pre-save the album already.
About NOVAkILL
The band formed in Sydney, Australia, in 1996 when Warren “Bones” (earlier active as Deathly Quiet!) teamed up with Craig L. Saunders (SiK). The pair also set up the local industrial club night Virus before concentrating on studio work and live activity under the NOVAkILL name.
In the late 1990s the duo contributed tracks to local and international compilations, which led to work on their debut album “Hard Tech for a Hard World”. That album appeared in 2003 and was handled in North America by Metropolis Records, establishing NOVAkILL in the international electro-industrial and EBM circuit.
Their second full-length “Kill Everyone” followed in 2005, again in collaboration with Repo Records, blending EBM rhythms with harsh electronics. “I Hate God” arrived in 2009, extending this approach across a longer tracklist.
After a break from album formats, the duo returned with “(D)anger” in 2016, released on Repo Records. This period also saw the digital EP “Head On“.
In 2020 the band issued the 17-track album “Iconoclast” on Repo Records. The band’s sixth full-length “Artifice” arrived in 2024. Alongside the albums, NOVAkILL released the EP “Therapy I: Aversion” in 2022 as a Bandcamp-exclusive title, later followed it with “Therapy II: Diversion”.
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.
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.
