With over 25 years of sonic rebellion under their belt, Godkomplex (GK) returns in 2025 with “Race-4-Power” a blistering, unrelenting industrial anthem that proves the band hasn’t lost an ounce of their edge.
From the moment the track launches, GK’s signature fusion of power noise, drum & bass, and coldwave rips through the speakers like a warning siren from the future. Vocalist Mr. Panik spits fire with commanding urgency, while co-founder Download lays down a punishing bed of glitching beats and warped synths that recall the golden era of industrial while pushing into a new digital dystopia.
Thematically, “Race-4-Power” is a sharp critique of the unrelenting thirst for control and dominance that defines modern society. It’s a track made for dark dancefloors and angry minds a fitting entry in the lead-up to the band’s much-anticipated Best Of collection slated for later this year.
Longtime fans will hear echoes of GK’s 2000 debut World Below and their 2006 release Audial Apostasy, but Race-4-Power feels like a rebirth grittier, louder, and more unapologetic than ever. For anyone who still believes industrial music should provoke as much as it pounds, Godkomplex delivers a deafening reminder.
