Reviews
FGFC820, “Homeland Insecurity”
The new album from the Queens hard EBM duo stays the course, while engaging some newer and more complex ideas.
MEND, self-titled
Chicago IDM duo release an EP of warm, evocative, and elegant tunes which will no doubt help to whet appetites for their eventual full-length.
And One, “S.T.O.P.”
The first LP from the new/old And One line-up follows the trajectory of their career, for better or for worse.
THYX, “The Way Home”
The new mind.in.a.box side project finds Stefan Poiss in a far more relaxed and free-form mode than ever before, and offers a loose and fun clutch of tunes.
Cenotype, “The Hour Before”
The new EP from New Jersey’s Cenotype is a complete package, both musically and physically.
The Pitch: NKVD’s “Prolog”
Targetting Bruce’s weakness for science fiction concept records, Alex pitches him NKVD’s 1999 album of power noise alien war hymns.
End To End: Kant Kino, “LRSBSS”
Kant Kino return with a fun rave-up of a single which takes a more stripped-down, old-school approach to EBM than we’re accustomed to from the Norwegian duo.
Continues, Self-Titled
The exceptionally meaningful first album of “desire and drum machines” from Babyland’s Dan Gatto fulfills its promise, and more.
Suicide Inside, “Homicide”
The new album from the Ambassador 21 side-project reverse engineers electro-industrial from their more well-established sound.
Portion Control, “Pure Form”
The British electro-punk legends issue another sortie of menacing, beat-heavy fun which balances the strength of their pedigree with utterly modern-sounding elements.
PAKT, “Berlin”
The debut from former And One members Chris Ruiz and Gio Van Oli finds the duo working in an EBM vein with mixed results.
In Conversation: Morbid Angel Remixed
We crack some brews with friend of the site Justin Hagberg of 3 Inches Of Blood and listen to Morbid Angel’s befuddling behemoth of a remix album, and try to make sense of its odd blend of industrial and metal tropes.
