Unter Null: Final Album Finished 2009-10-23 by Trey STAFF | 6 Comments | Erica Dunham, sole mastermind of industrial band Unter Null, is set to release what could potentially be her last album under the Unter Null moniker. The album was finished over the summer of 2009 and was first previewed for audiences on July 23, 2009. The album is going to be called “Moving On” and should be released early 2010 through Alfa-Matrix records.
Last October Erica Dunham released the following statement regarding the future of Unter Null:
I’ve decided that with this next Unter Null album, it will be my last foray into ebm/industrial/whatever (you may call it) music. 2009 is going to be the year of massive experimentation, and not letting problems like, oh, not having an orchestra at immediate hand, not having a multi-million dollar studio, not having an actual "band" but being a solo musician, hold things back.
I’ve sorely wanted to get away from this genre and scene for a while now. I support my friends' bands, and there are a few bands I really really like in the industrial (umbrella term) genre, but it's not the kind of music I listen to anymore or have for a long time. I don't go to the clubs, not interested in club culture, and while a close-knit community can have its benefits, I am not enthused by the back-stabbing and horrendous "it's a small world" of it all.
While Unter Null has been my main project for over 10 years, I’m definitely not quitting it, however my desire it to tread new grounds and explore new sounds and ways of creation.
My latest release with Stray has also noted a change in my desire for evolution and change. With the current production of the next Unter Null album, I’ve been finding it increasingly harder to maintain separation between the two projects because I’ve been finding myself drifting more towards “Stray”-like tracks – heavy on the melody and instrumentation, and less interested in the distorted 4/4 kicks and rahrah vocals.
Being my background is originally in classical music, I feel these days I’m somewhat losing touch with that and while music has always been grounds for catharsis for me, where I am at now is just not cutting it for me.
So, this is meant in no offense to any of my friends, to fellow musicians, or to my awesome fans. It’s just time to be moving on… to start the sound that has begun.

I'm glad she rebounded from the fire (this album was finished over a year ago and then her place burned to the ground and she lost it all).
| | | Same here. Martyr, Sick Fuck and Destroy me are such good tunes. Cant wait to hear this.
