Reviews
Autodafeh, “Act of Faith”
On their third album Autodafeh continue to pay tribute to Front 242 while slowing expanding their sound into new territory.
R.I.P. (Roppongi Inc. Project), “Temporary Evacuation 27.04.86”
Russian duo Roppongi Inc. Project’s new EP of solid techno-EBM draws inspiration from the 25th anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster.
The Danse Society, “Change Of Skin”
As a modern goth record, Change Of Skin is perfectly decent. As a reunion LP released under the Danse Society name, it’s utterly bizarre.
Erode, “Horizon”
Debut IDM LP from German metaller Alexander Dietz offers some pleasant changes of pace.
The Unquiet Grave: Die Laughing
We put on our best rictus grin and stroll through the history of UK goth legends Die Laughing.
Santa Hates You, “Jolly Roger”
The lamentably named side-project of Project Pitchfork’s Peter Spilles is a good bit of cheeky fun.
Jäger 90, “Fleisch Macht Böse”
The Anhalt devotees make room to explore the possibilities of their D.A.F. inspired sound on their new album for Out of Line.
Infiltrator, “Black Light Therapy”
An intriguing and rewarding noise record which succeeds on the bases of both composition and extremity.
Eisenfunk, “Pentafunk”
The new album of bouncy industrial-rave from the Bavarian trio is short on substance, long on anthems for people to dance to on Youtube.
199X: Whatever Happened to the Laserdisc?
Cap off your week with a trip back to 90s! This installment we visit with Penal Colony, Circle of Dust, Iron Lung Corp, Yeht Mae, and Diatribe.
The Unquiet Grave: The Merry Thoughts
In this installment of The Unquiet Grave we take a closer look at goth’s most accomplished Sisters of Mercy clones, The Merry Thoughts.
Principe Valiente, self-titled
An ambitious debut which uses a familiar post-punk template to field-test a variety of moods.
