Fierce new En Esch featuring Mea Fisher (Lords of Acid)
After the resounding success of the anthemic “Push,” from both critics and fans, En Esch returns with yet another cutting single as he teases his first solo album in seven years.
Featuring Mea Fisher (Lords of Acid), "I'm So Sick" showcases the harder edge of Esch’s sound — which fans of his work in PIG and KMFDM are certain to appreciate — while employing strikingly candid, and heartfelt lyrics. From the sinister stabbing lead synth with which it opens to Fisher’s rasping screams at the song's climax, “I’m So Sick” is tailor-made for industrial fans with passion and a flair for the dramatic.
Collaborative duo DEATHDANCE’s menacing bonus “God Have Mercy” mix might cut the rhythm to half-time, but the additional vocals and live instrumentation set a gorgeous and complimentary bleak tone.
Artist's Statement
"This awesome track about obsession, love and addiction has an eerie and sinister quality. I co-wrote it with Mea Fisher aka DJ Mea who I met on the Lords of Acid Sextreme Fest 2017 Tour with Combichrist and Christian Death. Her voice and hardworking attitude as frontwoman of LOA on that tour impressed me. We made a plan to collaborate on music after the tour finished, so I made a few trips from Germany to the US and we worked on some interesting and so far unreleased material. "I'm So Sick" is the first track we came up with and I'm happy to present it to you now. Enjoy!"
-En Esch
"Full of emotion with a maturity and focus I hadn’t heard before. Recommended if you’ve finally decided to fully take the reins of your own goddamn life and break away from the you that was holding you back!" -Barb Abney, The Current
"Mona Mur is a musical legend...she can take oppressive retro beats and nihilistic lyrics and turn them into something that could make the shadows dance. I wear black because that is what she decrees. Worship her." -Bluesbunny
