Aesthetic Perfection is an American-Austrian electronic musical project created by Daniel Graves in 2000.[2] It was formed in Los Angeles, California before moving to Linz, Austria.
Biography
Aesthetic Perfection was formerly signed directly to Metropolis Records in the United States and Out of Line Records in Europe, until Graves decided to run it on his independent label Close to Human Records. Additionally, the band was licensed to Gravitator Records[3] in Russia and Death Watch Asia[4] in Japan.
The band's third album, All Beauty Destroyed, was released on November 4, 2011, in Europe and November 8, 2011, in the United States.[5]
On March 29, 2019, Aesthetic Perfection released its sixth album, Into the Black.[6] Unlike previous albums which were released by labels, Into the Black was self-released. According to Graves, this was an intentional move towards running the band free of label intervention, due to a belief that the label industry model was "dying".[7]
