Since their debut release in 2010, Australian electro-industrial act SHIV-R have made an impact on the international dark alternative music scene and set themselves apart with a uniquely hard-hitting - yet elegant - sonic aesthetic. The group toured extensively throughout over 20 countries, including festivals in Europe and North America and received heavy rotation on industrial dancefloors worldwide with their releases, hitting number 1 on the DAC (German Alternative Charts) and top 10 in the GEWC (German Electronic Web Charts).
SHIV-R now present their fourth full-length album "Requiem for the Hyperreal", which weaves a dark, dynamic tapestry - varying from the heavy electronic drive of “Malediction” to the haunting desolation of “Milk and Honey". SHIV-R's members Pete Crane (vocals & music) and Ben Bulig (music) continue to push for musical evolution and self-expression, presenting their project with a provocatively dark, lace-filtered visual style, to create a result that is altogether monstrously seductive.
