Gradual Hate

The Spanish dark electro / industrial project Gradual Hate was originally created as a solo outlet for Miguel LS, who had already explored experimental and neo-classical music in such projects as The Lietech Project and Woman's Broken Hands, to take on the dark electronic scene. Inspired less by the synthpop crossover acts of the current scene than by old-school European artists like Leæther Strip and The Invincible Spirit, the project was joined by keyboardist and multimedia artist Avencio DM. Signing to Hypervoxx Recordings, the group released their debut album Asphyxiated World in late 2007, which also features "Reptilian Control," a collaboration with Japanese experimental author Kenji Siratori.
