Joy is the infectious and stomping new song from Schkeuditzer Kreuz: expat New Zealand DIY punk veteran, Kieren Hills, who now creates abrasive, dark, apocalyptic post-industrial music in a cabin that he built in the forested Blue Mountains of New South Wales, Australia. Premiering via Side-Line.com in Europe on Tuesday (30 May 2023), with a video created by Jason Fuller of Goatsound in Melbourne, Joy is the first new track shared from Schkeuditzer Kreuz’s forthcoming second album, No Life Left, and can be downloaded Free from Bandcamp now.

On the subject of Joy, Kieren told Side-Line:

“Joy is the end – unbridled ecstatic destruction – the warming glow of smashing glass, the satisfaction of a hammer through a wall. Break what breaks you –find the structure that’s keeping you under, and tear it apart, raze it to the fucking ground.”

The full album No Life Left releases on vinyl LP, cassette, and digital formats in August 2023, through Bad Habit Records in Australia. No Life Left by Schkeuditzer Kreuz will be distributed in the US through Sorry State Records, and supported in the UK and Europe by live tour dates spanning September and October.
