Reviews
M‡яc▲ll▲ + V▲LH▲LL, “Malleus Maleficarum”
M‡яc▲ll▲ and V▲LH▲LL release another split release of woozy darkness, and demonstrate the different directions each band’s progression has taken.
THYX, “Below the City”
The sophomore release from mind.in.a.box’s Stefan Poiss is a showcase for not only his production acumen, but his personality as a performer.
Gnome & Spybey, “Three”
The third record from the Gnome & Spybey ambient collaboration is perhaps more minimal than its predecessors, but no less evocative.
Kite, “V”
The Swedish electropop duo seal the deal with their fifth EP of beautiful, emotive electropop.
In Conversation: Nine Inch Nails, The Broken Movie
On the occasion of its reemergence, we discuss Nine Inch Nails’ infamous “Broken” film, it’s place within NIN’s history, and its relevance in the modern era.
Suicide Commando, “When Evil Speaks”
The latest from Belgium’s harsh EBM pioneer occasionally hearkens back to the simpler style of his 90s material.
Blank, “Dark Retreat”
Blank branch away from the past decade of dark electronic’s trajectory, and offer a fun and well-programmed alternate history of futurepop.
Snog, “Babes in Consumerland”
We listen to the new album from Australia’s Snog, positioning it within the greater context of their catalogue.
Sleetgrout, “We Had a Carnival”
We check out the domestic release of the well-regarded 2012 album from the Russian harsh EBM act.
Vestigial, “Solar/Aeon”
We listen to the reissue of the first two EPs of dark ambient, death industrial and noise from Italy’s Vestigial
Torul, “Tonight We Dream Fiercely”
Third offering from Torul is an uneven but fantastically produced mix of synthpop bounce and more dramatic pieces.
Hypnoskull, “Electronic Music Means War To Us 2”
Long-running Belgian power noise project returns with a sequel to one of their classic early 2000s albums.
