Electro gothic metallers JILUKA have released the video for ‘S4VAGE’, the hotly anticipated follow-up to their September 2023 electronicore face-melter ‘VENΦM’. The track is scheduled to release digitally sometime in June, with the exact date yet to be confirmed.
‘S4VAGE’ is a 4 and a half minute whirlwind, with dubstep and rap elements, as well as JILUKA’s usual djent filled metal. Guitarist Sena gets the chance to show off his rapping prowess again, while Ricko’s screams and growls reach a new level of heavy. Boogie and Zyean both have their chance to shine here too, with deep, heavy bass, and blistering drums. The track is an absolute sonic onslaught, sure to whip the crowd into a frenzy on their upcoming world tour. The band themselves have said “JILUKA conquers the world with the 4th Force of Electro Gothic Metal!!”.

Renowned metal producer Jeff Dunne, who has worked with JILUKA since 2022 and collaborated with bands like Knocked Loose, Motionless in White, Crossfaith, and Crystal Lake, also contributed to the production of ‘S4VAGE’.
In a comment from the band, JILUKA noted their intentions to take on the world:
“A ferocious song worthy of shocking the world once again has been completed. Behold, the four ferocious monsters that are about to attack the world.”
The MV is a flashy and stylish affair; the band decked out in their new looks, lasers and lights flashing, and flames eventually engulfing the video.
In March the group went independent and founded their own music label FAIZH MUSIC LLC, named after their 2016 single ‘Faizh’.
The band have also finalised dates for the end of their first world tour, as well as announcing a special one-man birthday live for Sena titled ‘JILUKA presents H.B.S EXTRA-ONEMAN LIVE S birthday festival 2024’.
