Elektrikill invites listeners into a celebration where the witching hour never ends, transforming Halloween horror into a relentless collision of industrial rhythms, dark electronics, monsters, and macabre humor.
The Macabre Masquerade Begins at Midnight
New Jersey industrial project Elektrikill, led by musician and producer Steve Vil, has officially released Macabre Masquerade through Evol Music Group. Released September 1, 2026, the 13-track Halloween album is constructed as a continuous celebration of everything lurking in the dark.
The album combines brand-new material with reworked Elektrikill songs, terrifying interludes, and remixes from Kill Vector, Kontrol Phreak, and SPKTR. Rather than simply assembling a collection of horror-themed tracks, Elektrikill sequences the album like one long infernal party—complete with vampires, demons, werewolves, parasites, restless ghosts, and enough industrial machinery to wake the dead.
Throughout Macabre Masquerade, Elektrikill moves between pounding EBM, darkwave atmosphere, industrial-rock aggression, electronic dance rhythms, and cinematic horror. The result is sinister without becoming joyless, balancing menace with enough twisted humor and dancefloor energy to keep the party moving long after the cemetery gates have closed.

Reviews For “Macabre Masquerade”:
Bog Stenchmare:
The first thing we need to say is that ELEKTRIKILL experiments with and utilizes many approaches in a wide-ranging musical palette. Bog has tried to share this and what he heard, which made for an interesting breakdown. There are high-energy stomps and booms; mid-paced tracks where you need to pull your boots up a little so you can check they are still attached to your feet for bass-dancing; and slow, dark, sinister, horror-fueled tracks that carry an energy about them. But also, for those who appreciate slow, moody, ballad-oriented goth feels, those elements are there, too.
In Track 10, “You Are The Love of My Death,” Bog could even hear the swampy, death-blues vibe shine through. So, although the album is horror-themed, it has drawn from multiple backgrounds.
Hard labor has gone into this album, and it is not just a casual, “Okay, that will do, yep, okay, next”. No, there is much more care and time invested here.
Bog enjoyed Macabre Masquerade. Okay, there were a few tracks he didn’t quite vibe with, but there weren’t many, nor did he hate them.
This is a fun, thrilling ride of stomps, bass, sinister lines, memorable choruses, and just solid music with different elements to present dark beats within a gritty, industrial world.
