Natalia Avelon Add to My Profile | More VideosAlec Empire - On Fire Add to My Profile | More Videos This profile was edited with brains Alec Wikipedia“My music takes people to places where they’ve never been before. Some never return, and those who did are scared to go back.” - Alec Empire, September 2001 "I've come to destroy what's accepted and no longer questioned" - Terror Alert: High! (2005) THE GOLDEN FORETASTE OF HEAVEN (2008) Alec Empire has been in the music business for a long time. His first record was released while he was still at school. At the age of fourteen he formed his English-speaking band, Die Kinder (The Children), supporting bands like Die Toten Hosen. With his last band, Atari Teenage Riot, he incited rebellion, battled as a DJ with Q-Bert and Mixmaster Mike, and made more remixes than most people can take drugs (or have had hot dinners!). In a 2002 edition of Kerrang Dave Grohl stated: “He’s Alec’s number one fan...Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) met Alec backstage at a gig in Australia and declared: ‘You inspired me!’” (...and we have the witnesses to prove it!) Empire’s first post-ATR solo album, Intelligence and Sacrifice (2002), on Digital Hardcore Recordings lead to the English press calling him a rock god. Photos from a Japanese show of this era feature 20,000 kids enraptured as Alec, Charlie Clouser (Nine Inch Nails), Nic Endo (Atari Teenage Riot) and two drummers give it their all. Intelligence and Sacrifice went on to sell impressive numbers and won a Kerrang award. After great success during his time in London, including the creation of the genre-defining label Digital Hardcore Recordings, Alec decided to return to Berlin and start afresh. What happened? Alec: “I wanted to reorient myself completely. I had the feeling I needed to drive my music in another direction.” For a time Empire played only very select electro shows; just man and machine alone on stage. Then followed the recording of Futurist with Nic Endo and band, an art side project on which he played electric guitar displaying a more rock/punk influence. Empire played with different live line-ups and toured in primarily underground and independent venues. And next… Alec: “I remember very clearly how we began ‘The Golden Foretaste of Heaven’ after ‘Futurist’. It happened very quickly. I saw it mapped out before me. England at the edge of Europe - I mean, how often do I have to read about the Beatles' Revolver album? I suddenly found everything from Berlin eastward far more intriguing and exciting. I bought a Russian synthesiser and Nic Endo and I devised a new direction which we're now moving in.” The Golden Foretaste of Heaven is an album which cannot easily be pigeon-holed, exactly like Alec’s fanbase. His accelerated fusion of punk distortion with breakbeat kinetics launched a new genre and record label - Digital Hardcore, his solo projects have embraced sources as diverse as electronic noise, musique concrete, hypervelocity techno and guitar mayhem, while the superheated anarcho-punk assaults of Atari Teenage Riot were possibly the noisiest recipients of a gold disc in the States.Alec Empire Member of Atari Teenage Riot Alec Empire live with ATR on Canal Plus TV in Paris |
