Reviews
Go Fight, “Napalm Baby”
Jim Marcus’ GoFight returns with an album of smart, sex-positive industrial funk.
S†▲K3H▲US, self-titled

The Pitch: Velvet Acid Christ, “Calling Ov The Dead”
Alex tries to convince Bruce of the psychedelic charms of some vintage Velvet Acid Christ.
Agent Side Grinder, “Alkimia”
A tight, cohesive, and vaguely sinister stunner of a record from Agent Side Grinder finds the Swedish outfit mining a new and dramatic post-punk vein.
mind.in.a.box, “Memories”
The faithful are rewarded in the latest from the cult act, packing in as many of their signature sounds as possible while going even further down the rabbit hole of the meta-narrative that has spanned their catalogue.

Sturm Café, “Europa!”
Ten years is a long time between LPs, but Sweden’s trad EBM outfit Sturm Café have found new relevance in their own take on old sounds.
iVardensphere, “Fable”
iVardensphere’s fifth (and best) LP is both a homecoming and a departure, with all of the tribal industrial project’s sounds and motifs reuniting fantastically even as it pushes beyond those qualifiers.
