A subgenre of ‘electro’ that combines the electronic beat driven tech-house style of bands such as Justice, Daft Punk etc with moodier themes and lyrically driven songs ( many with less traditional lyrical themes and recurring conceps of mortality, sin, religion etc ). In terms of genre placement, Death Electro draws it’s inspiration primarily from French Electro, Industrial, Synth-pop, 80’s pop, Indie Rock, Post-Punk, New Wave, New Romantic and EBM, with lesser ( but noticeable ) nods to Blues, Outlaw Country and Hip Hop. Bands such as Goteki, Presets, I AM X, Neon Neon, DJ Hell, The Knife could all be described as Death Electro bands.
