Aesthetic Perfection is the industrial pop project of Los Angeles-born, Austria-based producer Daniel Graves. For over 25 years, he has fused industrial aggression with pop precision and dark electro atmospherics, building a catalog that spans seven full-length albums and a steady stream of singles.
Known for explosive live performances and a relentless release schedule, Aesthetic Perfection has sold out headlining tours across Europe and North America and supported Till Lindemann (Rammstein) on multiple arena runs.
Following the self-released Into the Black, Graves launched his ambitious “12 Singles in 12 Months” campaign in 2021, producing the project’s biggest hit, “S E X,” and culminating in the 2022 compilation MMXXI. In 2025, he marked the 20th anniversary of his debut album with Closer to Human, a reimagined return to his roots.
With new material underway and a renewed partnership with Out of Line Music, Aesthetic Perfection continues to evolve—pushing industrial pop forward with precision and intensity.
A Killer’s Confession
Waylon Reavis, the voice and vision behind A Killer’s Confession, continues his exploration of light and darkness through the Victim trilogy—his most ambitious work yet. Victim 2 (MNRK Heavy) dives into the mind of a vigilante who punishes evil, only to become what he hates. Inspired by the cult film Frailty, it’s a psychological and sonic descent filled with questions of morality, justice, and control.
Tracks like “Hopeless Grey,” “In Case of Emergency,” and “Hollow” push modern metal’s limits, fusing aggression with melody, electronics, and atmosphere. Known for his mask and commanding presence since his Mushroomhead days, Reavis uses imagery as reflection, not disguise. Beneath the horror lies empathy, shaped by his work with victims and survivors. Victim 2 is A Killer’s Confession at its boldest—a record that dares to stare into the darkness and see itself.
