inManifestevil emerges from the shadows once again…
KWS and ENDE Records present:
KILLERWATTS REUNION PARTY 2003-2015
Far from the glitz and pingaz of laser light gabber bro raves, comes a return to the parties that made Sydney’s hardcore scene famous.
Featuring some of the best hardcore destroyers and breakcore pioneers of the early 2000s. Some of these are being dragged out of retirement and will probably never play again after this. Purebred Aussie cheapcore influenced, heavy breakbeat destruction and uncompromising industrial hardcore terrorists.
This is not to be missed. It’s the shit you miss…
…or just missed out on.
NB: Not all members of KWS will be present or will be available to play at this reunion. This party was organised by two people who played with and were friends with KWS at the time they were around. The concept of “reunion” is more a reunion of some KWS members and producers and DJs who played with them often at the time. The intention of the promoters was to reunite some of the players who played in each others pockets – so to speak. Frequently in the early to mid 2000s Sydney underground hardcore scene.
The original KWS roster was:
STOYK
EPO
DIMFIGURE
DISLASYSTEM
MANIFESTEVIL
NIGHTSHADE
THE FILTH
DIABOLIQUE (NOW HATENOISE)

Ende Records review of “Dead, but not buried” by Manifestevil:
(ENDE19) Manifestevil – Dead But Not Buried: Unearthed Relics
Manifestevil is a breakcore/IDM/glitchcore/hardcore/black noise producer and visual artist from Sydney Australia.
Beginning in the early 2000s with live digital and analogue equipment and tracker software. His music is influenced heavily by horror, splatter films, monster movies and Hitchcockian suspense as well as black metal and the occult.
Many producers sample horror but Manifestevil wasn’t just interested in taking sample grabs of famous horror villain quotes. It was the score and the sound work that intrigued him the most. Like a hardcore Argento. He learned to harness distorted breakbeats and noise by juxtaposing it against the impending dread and almost silences used to grip audiences in film. The way orchestras and strings and repetitive single piano notes were used to build suspense and then just as easily create heart pounding terror.
This restrained approach to creating tracks forces punters to not just listen to throwaway breakbeat and cut up samples. But rather short sound creations that have a particular aesthetic. There’s as much Ennio Morricone, Goblin and Bernard Herrmann in his music, as there is Doormouse, Venetian Snares and Shizuo.
Aside from the mystique and craftsmanship of film score and suspense soundtracks. Manifestevil is also a great fan of the schlock and cheap splatter and effects of 70s, 80s and 90s horror films.
Live he would often stalk his equipment while wearing a blood splattered labcoat and homemade mask and brandishing a knife. This often delighted and intrigued Sydney warehouse punters who witnessed this. A great fan of the schlocky side of metal and punk like White Zombie and The Misfits he may also start throwing metal mashups and repeating shrieks and scream loops at punters who think they may have him figured out.
When not producing electronic music. He can also be found playing guitar in metal bands and creating black and white physical artwork or digital horror themed visual creations.
Previously having only released a single track on a Null Recordings compilation in 2008. This is his first collection of some of his best tracks. But probably won’t be the last. Manifestevil is one of the reasons ENDE Records exists. To show the world the Australian underground electronic gems that they may have unintentionally missed…
