AD:KEY fire back with a razor-sharp EP that hits straight at the core of classic EBM. If you’re into ORANGE SECTOR, early AND ONE or the militant pulse of NITZER EBB, this release lands right in your strike zone. With “Der Böse Gott”, AD:KEY dive deep into the dark mirror of humanity. Inspired by a surrealist narrative, the title track portrays humankind as a self-made god - rising above nature through technology, only to turn into a destructive, remorseless monster. Chemical, biological, nuclear… every innovation perverted into yet another weapon. Cynical. Brutal. Unstoppable. “Der Böse Gott” is AD:KEY’s philosophical reflection on our reckless relationship with the world and with ourselves. “Der Böse Gott” is a slow, heavy, atmospheric track where AD:KEY step out of pure floor-focus to deliver a dark, surreal reflection on humanity turning itself into a destructive, technology-driven “god.” It’s the spiritual successor to their “Anthropozän” song - tense, brooding, and conceptually loaded, while still unmistakably AD:KEY. To expand the experience, the duo bring in allies like BAGGER 258, WHITE NOISE TV, MC1R and AKTION:FIASKO, each pushing “Der Böse Gott” into new territories — from gritty EBM pressure to driving dark electro reinterpretations. They also open the vault to reveal “No Way Without You”, a late but deeply personal track from the “0609” sessions - melodic, emotional and a perfect contrast to the EP’s darker backbone. The closing “Psalm 121” seals the release with a haunting, cinematic touch. Short, forceful, and designed to hit hard “Der Böse Gott” is AD:KEY at their most focused and impactful.
