Aesthetic Perfection is the industrial pop project of Los Angeles-born, Austria-based singer-songwriter-producer Daniel Graves. For over 26 years, the project has pushed the boundaries of dark electro, fusing industrial aggression with pop precision, goth atmospherics, and forward-thinking production across seven full-length albums, numerous singles, and a visually striking catalog of music videos. Though never beholden to mainstream trends, Aesthetic Perfection has cultivated a fiercely loyal global audience, selling out headlining tours throughout Europe and North America. Renowned for their relentless drive and explosive live performances, the project has earned slots on some of the world’s largest stages, including multiple arena tours supporting Till Lindemann (Rammstein) across Europe and North America.
Beyond the stage, Aesthetic Perfection has built an extensive network of high-profile collaborations, working with Richard Z. Kruspe (Rammstein), Sean Beavan (Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, Guns N’ Roses), SINIZTER, Jinxx (Black Veil Brides), Rhys Fulber (Fear Factory / Frontline Assembly), Celldweller, Nikki Misery (New Year’s Day), and Sebastian Svalland (Pain / Katatonia / Lindemann). The band’s music has also appeared in Netflix original programming and on the Underworld: Awakening soundtrack, further cementing its presence within alternative culture. Following the success of the 2019 self-released album Into the Black, Graves launched one of his most ambitious undertakings to date: the “12 Singles in 12 Months” project, writing and releasing a new track every month throughout 2021. The campaign produced the project’s biggest hit, “S E X,” and multiple international chart placements, culminating in the 2022 compilation MMXXI.
While touring North America with Till Lindemann in 2024, Graves unveiled his most sonically aggressive release yet: The Bad Vibes EP. Revolver Magazine described it as “a Nineties-era, retro-futuristic slam of crunch-dustrial guitar chordage, mechanically-manned marching rhythms, and mega-screams from bandleader Daniel Graves.
In 2025, marking the 20th anniversary of his debut album Close to Human, Graves released Closer to Human—a re-recorded and re-envisioned interpretation of the album that launched his career. The anniversary was celebrated with select performances across the U.S. and Europe honoring the project’s formative years, followed by a major European arena run alongside Till Lindemann on the Meine Welt tour. Now, in 2026, with a new studio album in progress and a renewed partnership with Out of Line Music, Aesthetic Perfection shows no signs of slowing down, continuing to expand its industrial pop legacy with uncompromising intensity.
