Schkeuditzer Kreuz is self-described as “one human and some machines, making noise, in the face of it all.” The second, full-length Schkeuditzer Kreuz LP, No Life Left, is scheduled for release in August 2023, supported by UK and European tour dates during September and October.

Based in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales, Australia, expat New Zealand punk veteran Kieren Hills has played in punk, deathrock, hardcore, crust, grind, and d-beat bands and projects from Australia, New Zealand, and Germany since the late 1980s. As Schkeuditzer Kreuz, Kieren now creates harsh, dark, confronting and apocalyptic post-industrial music from a cabin that he built in the woods. The name Schkeuditzer Kreuz is meanwhile a personal symbol of movement and transition: taken from a motorway intersection between the A9 and the A14 in Sachsen, Germany; the sign for which was “glimpsed out the back of a moving vehicle while escaping Leipzig, many years ago.”
