The first album, HARD TECH for a HARD WORLD, took about 3 years to finish as NOVAkILL took some time off to replace all their instruments with software. You only need to compare the version of SHOkNOVA on the Maschinenwelt III compilation to that on the album to see that it was well worth the effort to make the switch.
During HARD TECH’s long gestation period NOVAkILL continued to write new material and had half an album’s worth of songs almost ready when HARD TECH was finally released in 2003. With the first album out the door they started work on the follow-up, finishing off new songs and whipping a few old ideas into shape.
The result is KILLeveryone which was released in Germany and the USA in May 2005.
To promote the new album, NOVAkILL performed at Wave Gothik Treffen in Leipzig in 2005, stopping off for a show at London’s Slimelight along the way. Since then, NOVAkILL has supported Nitzer Ebb, VNV Nation and Combichrist in various Australian cities.
In 2009 they released "I HATE GOD" on Repo Records, displaying an improved sound and matured songwriting.

Critican Sin Saber.
Solo Dicen Palabras...
Que No Tienen Poder.
Ellos Critican Critican.
Critican Sin Saber.
Solo Dicen Palabras...
Que No Tienen Poder.
Mas Sin Embargo No Les Pongo Atencion...
Y Por Eso A Los Metiches Les Dedico Esta Cancion.
Mas Sin Embargo No Les Pongo Atencion...
Y Por Eso A Los Metiches Les Dedico Esta Cancion.
The lyrics to Novakill's song Pressure are in Spanish and talk about the criticism faced by the artist. The first two lines, "Ellos Critican Critican. Critican Sin Saber," translate to "They criticize, criticize. Criticize without knowing." The artist is possibly referring to how people pass judgments on others without fully understanding their situation or what they are going through. The next two lines, "Solo Dicen Palabras... Que No Tienen Poder," mean "They only say words... that have no power." This could be interpreted as the artist belittling the criticism and implying that it has no effect on them.
The following lines, "Mas Sin Embargo No Les Pongo Atencion... Y Por Eso A Los Metiches Les Dedico Esta Cancion," mean "But I don't pay attention to them... And that's why I dedicate this song to the busybodies." Here, the artist is saying that they choose to ignore the criticism and instead channel their energy into creating a song that addresses their detractors. The repetition of the first four lines and the chorus emphasizes the message of not letting the negative opinions of others bring one down.
Overall, the song's message is about resilience and not allowing others to dictate one's path. The artist acknowledges the criticism but chooses to rise above it and focus on their art.
