What began as a viral sensation on TikTok &#8211; with a grotesquely seductive metal version of Lady Gaga&#8217;s &#8220;Paparazzi&#8221; &#8211; has developed into one of the most exciting sound experiments in modern heavy music. Behind the name is the Australian musician Samuel Wellings, who shuffles back and forth between industrial, metalcore, jazz fragments and pop madness with surgical precision, as if he wanted to dissect the genre and reassemble it.  <\/p>\n<p>KIM DRACULA is not a classic band project &#8211; rather an audiovisual manifesto. Live, this is transformed into a feverish mixture of performance art and controlled chaos: brute breakdowns collide with theatrical gestures, grotesque masks and dazzling irony. <\/p>\n<p>With <em>A Gradual Decline in Morale<\/em> (2023), KIM DRACULA has already shown how far extremes can be pushed without losing the common thread &#8211; and who knows what sound mutation will be added by 2026. That&#8217;s when KIM DRACULA will take to our stage for the first time &#8211; with a crazy set that asks more questions than it answers. Between industrial force and avant-garde deconstruction, this sound is like a distorted mirror of our time: angry, playful, intelligent &#8211; and mercilessly entertaining.  <\/p>\n<p>Those who rely on musical pigeonholes should dress warmly. Everyone else can look forward to a performance that lies somewhere between madness and enlightenment. <\/p>\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-192947485 {\n  font-size: 1.25rem;\n  line-height: 1.35;\n  text-align: left;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<div class=\"social-icons follow-icons artist-single-social-icons\" style=\"font-size:147%\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/KimDrac\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-label=\"Facebook\" class=\"icon button circle is-outline facebook tooltip\" title=\"Follow on Facebook\" aria-label=\"Follow on Facebook\" ><i class=\"icon-facebook\" ><\/i><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/kimdrac\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-label=\"Instagram\" class=\"icon button circle is-outline instagram tooltip\" title=\"Follow on Instagram\" aria-label=\"Follow on Instagram\" ><i class=\"icon-instagram\" ><\/i><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kimdracula.com\/\" data-label=\"Website\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"icon button circle is-outline website tooltip\" title=\"https:\/\/www.kimdracula.com\/\" aria-label=\"https:\/\/www.kimdracula.com\/\" ><i class=\"icon-website\" ><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/rf-cf-test.held.wtf\/en\/bands\" target=\"_self\" class=\"button primary is-xxlarge artist-single-all-bands-btn show-for-small\"  style=\"padding:3px 25px 0px 25px;\">\n  <i class=\"icon-angle-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\" ><\/i>  <span>All bands<\/span>\n  <\/a>\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_203656998 {\n  padding-top: 0px;\n  padding-bottom: 0px;\n  margin-bottom: 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8038,"parent":6448,"menu_order":72,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-8054","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rf-cf-test.held.wtf\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8054","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rf-cf-test.held.wtf\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rf-cf-test.held.wtf\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rf-cf-test.held.wtf\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rf-cf-test.held.wtf\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8054"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/rf-cf-test.held.wtf\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8054\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8299,"href":"https:\/\/rf-cf-test.held.wtf\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8054\/revisions\/8299"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rf-cf-test.held.wtf\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6448"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rf-cf-test.held.wtf\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8038"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rf-cf-test.held.wtf\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8054"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
