Schkeuditzer Kreuz Announces Third Album + Europe / UK Tour

Industrial Synth Crust’ outfit Schkeuditzer Kreuz AKA Kieren Hills is about to embark on the second Schkeuditzer Kreuz tour across Europe, from September to October 2025, in support of the third album, Swan Grinder. Tour dates are currently booked through Central Europe, South Caucasus, Spain, and UK, with more to be confirmed (more dates and details listed further below). Kieren says:

“It’s always great to go back to a place –playing new cities or countries and introducing myself and what I do is a lot of fun but getting back there again, building on that, and showing my own growth and seeing people return to see me play, this time bringing their friends along –that is what it is all about.”

Released next month (30 August 2025), Bandcamp presales for the forthcoming Swan Grinder album are available now, and all presale orders will come with a bonus remix CD and denim patch. Kieren says of the new album:

“With every recording I do, every song I write, I like to think I have learned and developed the sound from the last one.  Learned more about recording but also more about how to express what’s in my head.  This album is heavier and has more layers of sound than what I have done previously, and probably a wider range of musical styles as well, while at the same time remaining harsh, distorted, and ugly – it is still me screaming about all the shit in my head, it is just articulated better.”
