Pressterror
David Köhler (known on stage as Pressterror) is a German extratone DJ and producer.[1] His self-proclaimed 'Suizidcore' music genre is characterized with his tracks going from 1000-3600 bpm. Suizidcore is a mixture of terrorcore and extratone mixing hard kicks with 1000BPM beats.
Career[edit]
Köhler started his career 15 years ago in Saarbrücken, Germany. In 2001, he discovered his passion for electronic music from using his first record players. Then, he played various hard dance genres until 2005. Since 2002, he produced his own tracks favouring the styles techno, hardcore and Frenchcore. From 2006–2010 he produced many Speedcore and Splittercore tracks. After discovering Terror and Speedcore, he embarked on creating his own unique style, becoming noisier and more extreme. In 2012, Pressterror was known to become one of the fastest and hardest Speedcore artists worldwide from his aggressive style of performance, his pig mask and his style of sound.
His trademarks involve his bloodied pig mask wrapped in barbed wire and his unconventional live performances. These acts include, but are not limited to: injecting himself with a syringe filled with "DRRRRRR!" (resembling the sound of the fast beats), the simulating of automutulation by sawing into himself with the use of fake blood, and strangling himself.
Controversy[edit]
Pressterror was featured in an episode of Viceland's Big Night Out, where Pressterror is considered as 'public enemy number 1' by a certain Christian group due to his blasphemous and immoral behaviour. The episode also includes an interview with Pressterror himself, quoting his listeners who tell him that "the music is not dancable to, because it's too fast" and that "Pressterror's music drives people insane, makes them wanna jump through the walls and commit suicide".[2][3]
