Los Angeles heavy hitters Fatalist return with a punishing new visual statement that drags modern metalcore back into the gutter — and dares you to sit with it.
Released just 14 hours ago, LOWLIFE marks the latest chapter in the evolving sonic identity of Fatalist, a project that continues to blur the lines between nu-core aggression, modern metal brutality, and raw emotional confrontation.
There’s no polish-for-radio here. LOWLIFE hits like a clenched jaw and a swinging fist — intentional, uncomfortable, and unapologetically real.
⚠️ A VIDEO THAT STARES BACK
The official music video for LOWLIFE doesn’t just accompany the track — it amplifies it. Shot with a stripped-down, confrontational visual style, the video places the viewer face-to-face with the band’s raw intensity. Stark lighting, claustrophobic framing, and chaotic performance energy combine to mirror the song’s internal tension.
This isn’t escapism. It’s confrontation.
The visuals feel grounded in the same emotional weight as the music — a reflection of frustration, self-awareness, and the grind of existing at the margins. Every frame reinforces the feeling that LOWLIFE isn’t a character — it’s a mirror.
🔥 LOS ANGELES DNA, NO COMPROMISE
Forged in Los Angeles, California, Fatalist channels the city’s volatile underground energy into a sound that feels both modern and feral. This is music born from concrete, sweat-soaked rooms, and the pressure of a scene that doesn’t hand anything out for free.
LOWLIFE continues the band’s trajectory of releases that prioritize impact over comfort, proving Fatalist isn’t chasing trends — they’re documenting a state of mind shaped by survival, grit, and defiance.
A slow pulse. A frozen loop. A track designed not to move you—but to stop you. spankthenun has officially announced Rigor Mortis, a release that operates less like a traditional song and more like a sustained psychological state.
❄️ A Loop That Refuses to Die
At the core of Rigor Mortis lies a loop that never fully resolves. It pulses steadily, mechanically, as if unearthed rather than written. The beat is slow, deliberate, and unrelenting, while a minimal hook repeats just enough to bypass conscious thought and settle directly into the body. This is repetition as ritual—designed to linger long after the sound stops.
“We unearthed a loop that never stopped pulsing.”
Rather than building toward release or climax, Rigor Mortis traps the listener in suspension. The track doesn’t escalate—it locks in, holding its ground with clinical precision.
🩸 Hypnosis Over Emotion
This is not a song meant to provoke feeling in the traditional sense. Instead, it explores detachment, stillness, and the eerie calm that follows overstimulation. The simplicity is intentional. The restraint is the weapon.
“A slow beat and simple hook hypnotize the body long after the mind has checked out.”
The experience feels physical before it feels emotional—muscle memory responding while the mind drifts elsewhere. It’s industrial minimalism at its most unsettling.
🧊 When Numbness Means It’s Working
Perhaps the most chilling aspect of Rigor Mortis is its mission statement. The track embraces emotional absence as success, leaning into coldness as a final form rather than something to escape.
“If you feel nothing when you hear it, that means it is working.”
There’s no comfort here. No catharsis. Just the slow acceptance of stillness as the beat continues, indifferent to the listener’s response.
⚙️ A Condition, Not a Song
Rigor Mortis feels less like a standalone release and more like a state of activation—something that spreads gradually, tightening its grip over time. It’s built for headphones, isolation, and late-night immersion, where repetition becomes oppressive and silence feels louder than sound.
Industrial provocateurs return to the stage with a transatlantic run backed by scene heavyweights and festival firepower.

⚙️ A Relentless Live Force Returns

Every performance is engineered for impact—aggressive electronics, razor-edged hooks, and constant audience interaction. The 2026 tour continues that tradition, reinforcing the project’s position at the crossroads of industrial, EBM, aggrotech, and dark alternative culture.
This run also brings strategic support and collaborations, reinforcing scene unity while pushing the intensity higher night after night.

Deep Dive into the Universe of Aesthetic Perfection
Shock-rock icon Marilyn Manson has officially extended his ongoing One Assassination Under God Tour, announcing a new run of Spring 2026 U.S. dates with support from Australian death-pop duo VOWWS.
Following a year defined by sold-out performances across the globe, Manson shows no signs of retreat. The newly announced dates continue the campaign behind his critically praised 2024 release One Assassination Under God – Chapter 1, out now via Nuclear Blast Records.
🩸 A RECORD BUILT ON DEFIANCE
One Assassination Under God – Chapter 1 stands as one of the most focused and confrontational statements of Manson’s career. Tracks like “Sacrilegious,” “Raise The Red Flag,” and “As Sick As The Secrets Within” fuse scorched-earth lyrics with industrial weight and ritualistic menace, reinforcing his legacy as a provocateur who thrives in chaos.
This next chapter of the tour continues that narrative on stage — theatrical, abrasive, and unfiltered.

🧨 CRITICAL PRAISE
“A relentless stream of instrumental metal fused with retro computer-game bleeps and aesthetics… technically dazzling, packed with tapping, sweeping, and shredding.” — Rock Flesh
“Loaded and ready to execute. Their sound is crushing, industrial, and punishing — the crowd is fully onboard.” — At The Barrier
💽 HARDWAREZ — THE CODE BEHIND THE CHAOS
MASTER BOOT RECORD tours in support of HARDWAREZ, the 2024 full-length released via Metal Blade Records.
Created by multi-instrumentalist and mastermind Vittorio D’Amore (aka Victor Love), HARDWAREZ explores the duality of technology — power versus dependence, precision versus chaos. The album follows Personal Computer (2022) and Floppy Disk Overdrive (2020), further expanding MBR’s cybernetic mythology.
True to form, HARDWAREZ was composed live via desktop streaming, entirely programmed through MIDI, then reinforced by real guitars, updated drum systems, and a heavier, punchier mix approach developed through intensive touring.
The second single from j:dead, titled “Disgusting,” lands on January 2, 2026, via Infacted Recordings, marking a sharper, more volatile evolution of the project’s sound and intent.
Following the debut single “Pressure,” which centered on emotional strain and resilience, “Disgusting” turns inward with far less restraint. This release confronts the discomfort of self-awareness—those moments when complacency, emotional stagnation, and repetitive personal patterns become impossible to ignore. It’s not reflective for comfort’s sake; it’s reflective because looking away is no longer an option.
A More Aggressive Sonic Identity
Musically, “Disgusting” pushes j:dead further into industrial-rock territory. Distorted synth lines grind against driving rhythms while raw, unfiltered vocals deliver their message with urgency. The track is intentionally abrasive—designed to hit hard in both club environments and alternative live settings, trading subtlety for impact.
A Campaign Built on Progression
This release emphasizes evolution over repetition. Rather than chasing frequency alone, each monthly release exposes a different emotional and sonic dimension of j:dead.
The result is a project unfolding in real time—growing darker, heavier, and more self-aware with every chapter while maintaining a direct connection with listeners.
Out Sunday, December 21st, 2025, New World Disorder – A Tinnitorturous Sampler arrives exactly when the night is longest—released on all major digital music services and free (or pay-what-you-want) in lossless quality on the artists’ Bandcamps. This is more than a compilation. It’s a ritual, a statement, and a reflection of a year that tested resolve across the underground.
🌘 A Solstice Ritual Forged in Sound
Each year, the winter solstice marks the balance point between darkness and the slow return of light. In that spirit, Tinnitorturous returns with a sampler that channels the weight of the times through industrial, EBM, and alternative electronic expression.
Following last year’s uncompromising tribute Shouldn’t Have Done That – A Depeche Mode Tribute (still available for free on Bandcamp 💀), this year’s release goes deeper. Inspired by real-world events and rising global tensions, a select group of Tinnitorturous artists created brand-new, exclusive tracks—raw, confrontational, and unfiltered.
⚙️ Art as Resistance
New World Disorder stands as a response to a year defined by authoritarian aggression, propaganda, and attempts to suppress liberty. Fascism wears many masks—but the message here is clear: question supremacy, reject dictatorship, and never accept manufactured greatness. This EP doesn’t preach—it confronts.
As the light slowly returns, this sampler carries a faint but defiant hope: that 2026 may arrive with less madness, less bloodshed, and more humanity.
Founded in Denmark, Tinnitorturous is an independent label dedicated to industrial, EBM, and alternative electronic underground music, run by scene-veteran musicians who live and breathe the culture.
Daily operations are handled by:
Jens B. Petersen(ManMindMachine, Negant, more)
Tommy B-Kuhlmann(In Absentia, Negant, Body-Banden, more)
The label has steadily built a catalog rooted in sonic defiance, mechanical rhythms, and uncompromising vision.
🧾 Selected Discography Highlights
From early digital singles like Eisenwolf – Krigskøter (2019) to landmark releases such as ManMindMachine – RetroFuturist, Institute for the Criminally Insane – Ferryman’s Bell, and the 2024 sampler Shouldn’t Have Done That – A Depeche Mode Tribute, the label’s trajectory has been relentless.
The journey culminates—so far—with: V.A. – New World Disorder – A Tinnitorturous Sampler Digital EP | TT-DDEP-07 | Out December 21, 2025
Raw. Intimate. Unfiltered. Bloodrunner return with a release that proves thrash metal doesn’t need distortion to hit hard.
A New Chapter, Fully Exposed 🔥 Chicago thrashers BLOODRUNNER are back — but not the way you expect. With the release of Unplugged Live At WZRD, the long-running Midwest metal force peels back the amps, distortion, and aggression to reveal the beating heart beneath their catalog.
“This album represents a new chapter for Bloodrunner: stripped down, intimate and real,” explains founder, vocalist, and guitarist Neal Rodriguez. And that honesty is felt in every note.
Recorded during the summer of 2025 at Northeastern University’s legendary radio station WZRD, the live session captures Bloodrunner in a raw acoustic setting while simultaneously introducing a new lineup — a bold move for a band that has never been afraid of reinvention.
Thrash Roots, Reinvented ⚡ Formed in 2004 by Neal Rodriguez, Bloodrunner have been a persistent force in the Chicago metal underground for over two decades. From their debut full-length Total Annihilation (2007, remastered and reissued in 2025) to the self-titled EP released in 2023, the band has continually evolved while staying true to their thrash foundation.
Now joined by Tito (bass) and Jeff (drums), Bloodrunner reimagine their songs in an unplugged format — proving that powerful songwriting and emotional weight don’t rely on volume alone. The absence of distortion doesn’t soften the impact; instead, it sharpens it.
“These songs have always had a heart,” Neal shares. “Playing them unplugged lets that shine through in a new way. It’s exciting to share this chapter with our fans.”
Survival, Reinvention, and Relentless Drive 🖤 Bloodrunner’s history is one of persistence. Lineup changes, industry shifts, and long gaps between releases never stopped the project from moving forward. After periods of activity with other bands — including The Upsets — Neal reactivated Bloodrunner in 2020, releasing new material despite setbacks and continued lineup changes.
By 2024, the vision became clear: revisit the past through a new lens. That vision led directly to the unplugged era, with Unplugged Live At WZRD serving as both a statement and a bridge toward the upcoming Bloodrunner Unplugged EP, scheduled for CD release in 2026.
This isn’t nostalgia. It’s survival through reinvention.
After years of silence and anticipation, Unter Null continues her long-awaited resurgence with the official music video for “Coming Up To Breathe,” translating raw emotion into a powerful visual statement that cuts straight to the core.
A Visual Reckoning 🖤 “Coming Up To Breathe” has already resonated deeply as a comeback track—equal parts defiance, vulnerability, and survival. With the release of its official music video, Unter Null elevates the song into a cinematic experience, pairing stark imagery with the relentless emotional weight that defined her earlier legacy while signaling a sharpened, more intentional evolution.
Rather than relying on excess or spectacle, the video leans into atmosphere and tension. Every frame reinforces the song’s central theme: the fight to reclaim identity and breath after prolonged suffocation—personal, creative, and societal. It’s not nostalgia. It’s confrontation.
A Milestone Moment in the Unter Null Revival 🔥 This release marks a significant chapter in Unter Null’s return to the industrial landscape. Long regarded as a defining voice in the aggrotech and dark electro movement, her re-emergence has been measured, deliberate, and uncompromising. The video for “Coming Up To Breathe” stands as both a statement and a promise: this era is not about revisiting the past—it’s about finishing unfinished business.
For longtime followers, it’s a powerful reminder of why Unter Null mattered then. For new listeners, it’s an invitation into a universe built on truth, pressure, and release.
The Browning have officially announced Burn This World [EVOLVED], a reengineered and weaponized evolution of one of their most defining tracks. This isn’t a simple remix or reissue—it’s a full-scale reconstruction designed to hit harder, move faster, and reflect just how far the band’s cyber-metal assault has progressed.
Known for fusing extreme metal brutality with relentless electronic programming, The Browning use [EVOLVED] as both a statement and a warning. The track revisits familiar foundations while amplifying everything—heavier drops, sharper synth architecture, and a modernized sonic core built for today’s dystopian landscape. It’s the sound of a band refusing stagnation, constantly rewriting their own rulebook.
“Burn This World [EVOLVED]” stands as proof that The Browning are not content to live in past victories. Instead, they continue to adapt, mutate, and push their hybrid sound into more aggressive and future-forward territory—where metal, electronics, and chaos collide at full force.
This evolution isn’t about nostalgia. It’s about dominance.
A raw transmission from the inner machinery of the self, “Behind My Eyes” marks a defining moment in the evolution of DarkHeart Syndicate.
DarkHeart Syndicate have officially released their new single Behind My Eyes, delivering a stark, emotionally charged entry into their growing catalog of dark electronic and industrial-infused soundscapes. The track arrives as both a confession and a confrontation—an unfiltered look at the internal battles that rage beneath the surface.
A Glimpse Beneath the Surface
“Behind My Eyes” leans heavily into atmosphere and tension, pairing brooding electronics with a sense of restrained aggression. Rather than relying solely on brute force, the song builds its impact through mood, pacing, and lyrical introspection. It feels claustrophobic by design—pulling the listener inward, into a mental space shaped by isolation, perception, and unresolved conflict.
There’s a deliberate contrast at play: cold, mechanical textures collide with deeply human emotion. The result is a track that doesn’t just play—it lingers, echoing long after the final note fades.
Soundtrack for the Inner War
At its core, “Behind My Eyes” explores the divide between what is shown to the world and what remains hidden. It speaks to survival, endurance, and the quiet strength required to carry unseen weight. This is not a song engineered for surface-level consumption; it’s meant for listeners who resonate with darkness not as spectacle, but as truth.
A Statement Release
With this release, DarkHeart Syndicate continues to sharpen its identity—blending dystopian aesthetics, emotional realism, and a cinematic sense of scale. “Behind My Eyes” feels less like a standalone single and more like a mission statement, signaling deeper narratives and heavier transmissions yet to come.
Fans of industrial, dark electronic, and emotionally driven alternative music will find plenty to dissect here—both sonically and thematically.
This isn’t about fitting into the system or playing along with its rules—it’s about reshaping the landscape entirely and claiming what was never meant to be given.
Deep Dive into the Universe of DarkHeart Syndicate
Time to wake up and smell the dystopia. Twisted Flesh Recordings has just unleashed Redacted, the latest sonic assault from Terrorbit—and it hits like a corrupted data stream ripping through the last illusions of comfort.
Built on crushing industrial rhythms, distorted electronics, and a cold, confrontational atmosphere, Redacted feels engineered for a world drowning in surveillance, misinformation, and systemic decay. Terrorbit doesn’t whisper warnings—they broadcast them at full volume, dragging listeners into a fractured future where truth is fragmented and control is constant.
True to the Twisted Flesh Recordings ethos, this release thrives in the shadows between aggression and precision. Every beat feels intentional. Every texture feels weaponized. Redacted isn’t just a release—it’s a signal flare for those already awake, and a rude awakening for those still asleep.
If you crave dark electronic music that reflects the unease of modern existence without compromise, Redacted delivers exactly that—raw, relentless, and unapologetically dystopian.
KMFDM are back in full combat mode. The legendary industrial rock architects have unleashed “OUBLIETTE”, the first single from their upcoming 24th studio album, ENEMY—a release that reaffirms their role as permanent agitators in a world spiraling toward controlled amnesia and authoritarian comfort.
Released on December 12, 2025 via Metropolis Records, “OUBLIETTE” is available in WAV, MP3, streaming formats, and on Bandcamp, and serves as the opening salvo for what promises to be one of the band’s most confrontational chapters yet.
“OUBLIETTE”: A Place to Be Forgotten 🩸
Derived from the French word oublier (“to forget”), an oubliette is a dungeon accessible only through a trapdoor above—designed to erase its victims from memory entirely. From KMFDM’s perspective, it’s a perfect metaphor.
“A place to be forgotten. What nobody sees, nobody knows.”
Musically, “OUBLIETTE” balances dance-rock propulsion with razor-edged industrial force, setting the tone for ENEMY’s themes of erasure, control, and resistance in an age where truth is buried on purpose.
ENEMY: 42 Years of Defiance, Sharpened 🔥
Set for release on February 6, 2026, ENEMY arrives just weeks before KMFDM launch a previously announced and nearly sold-out European tour. The album is available as 2xLP, CD, and digital, with Bandcamp pre-orders live now.
Society may be unraveling, but KMFDM remain resolute. Forty-two years deep into their legacy, the Ultra Heavy Beat still rises to confront fascism, hypocrisy, and systemic decay—louder and more dangerous than ever.
Lineup: Power, Precision, and New Blood ⚙️
Still commanded by Sascha “Käpt’n K” Konietzko (songwriting, vocals) and Lucia Cifarelli (vocals, songwriting), KMFDM continue their sonic assault with the percussive force of Andy Selway. The current incarnation is further energized by Tidor Nieddu, a London-based guitarist injecting bold new textures and bite.
Following her standout performance of “Professional Killer” during the 40th anniversary tour, Annabella Konietzko makes a powerful return on the explosive track “YOÜ”, marking her official songwriting debut with the band.
A Brutal, Uncompromising Album Statement 💀
Never content with repetition, ENEMY stands among KMFDM’s most stylistically daring and politically scathing releases:
The dance-rock menace of “OUBLIETTE”
The shadowed grooves of “CATCH & KILL”
The satirical thrash of “OUTERNATIONAL INTERVENTION”
The vicious industrial metal of “L’ETAT”
The dark funk pulse of “VAMPYR”
The sly dub swagger of “STRAY BULLET 2.0”
KMFDM don’t retreat—they advance, roaring against a culture that demands silence and submission. The message is clear: join the Ultra Heavy Beat, or become the ENEMY.
Alfa Matrix has officially unleashed “Failure (Bonus Edition)”, the long-awaited full-length statement from American industrial agitators FRONTAL BOUNDARY — and it’s nothing short of a relentless psychological onslaught. Following the bile-drenched fury of Hate and the suffocating intensity of Faith, the trio return with a release that stares straight into collapse, rage, despair, and the fragile glimmer of hope that survives the wreckage.
A Brutal Core of 12 Tracks 🩸
At its heart, Failure is a merciless examination of the human condition. Across 12 devastating tracks, FRONTAL BOUNDARY tear open themes of anger, self-destruction, disillusionment, and emotional fracture, channeling them through crushing rhythms, corrosive textures, and an atmosphere that feels both intimate and apocalyptic. This is industrial music at its most confrontational — cold, punishing, and unapologetically honest.
Bonus Edition: Total System Overdrive 🔥
The experience doesn’t stop with the main album. The limited 2CD digipak edition pushes Failure far beyond its breaking point, adding 12 exclusive bonus tracks and remixes that reforge the album into new, club-annihilating forms.
A devastating roster of collaborators — including UNTER NULL, VISCERA DRIP, PYGMY CHILDREN, MISERIA ULTIMA, HER OWN WORLD, FACT PATTERN, BLAKLIGHT, DREAD RISKS, CONTRACULT, and LIVERNOIS — tear into FRONTAL BOUNDARY’s material, mutating it into fresh weapons of sonic destruction. The band themselves also return with their own punishing reworks, ensuring the bonus disc hits just as hard as the original.
Live at Dark Force Fest 2026 🖤
FRONTAL BOUNDARY are also gearing up to bring the Failure experience to a live stage this spring with a **scheduled appearance at **Dark Force Fest 2026 — the three-day goth/industrial music festival running from May 1–3, 2026, at the Sheraton Parsippany in New Jersey. This event gathers underground dark wave, industrial, and alternative acts from around the world for performances, club events, vendors, panels, and more. Dark Force Fest+1
Expect FRONTAL BOUNDARY to deliver their crushing new material live, surrounded by fellow heavy hitters in the scene and a weekend of immersive industrial energy.
Industrial Collapse, Perfected 💀
Failure (Bonus Edition) isn’t just an expansion — it’s an escalation. A deeper plunge into darkness, sharper edges, and a clear declaration that FRONTAL BOUNDARY are operating at full destructive capacity.
Till Lindemann, the unmistakable voice and provocateur behind Rammstein, has once again stepped beyond the boundaries of comfort with the release of his latest solo single, “Alles Ändert Sich…Ich Nicht” (“Everything Changes…Not Me”). Accompanied by an unsettling and visually intense music video, the track continues Lindemann’s uncompromising exploration of identity, decay, and defiance in a world obsessed with transformation.
A Defiant Statement Against Change 🩸
The title alone sets the tone: while the world shifts, mutates, and reinvents itself, Lindemann stands immovable. The song leans heavily into themes of personal stagnation versus societal evolution, delivered with his signature baritone that feels both confrontational and eerily introspective. It’s not nostalgia—it’s resistance.
A Video Designed to Disturb ⚙️
True to form, the accompanying video is deliberately provocative. Stark imagery, unsettling symbolism, and a cold, industrial atmosphere collide to create a visual experience that feels more like a psychological endurance test than a traditional music video. Lindemann doesn’t aim to shock for novelty’s sake—every frame reinforces the song’s core message: discomfort is the point.
Till Lindemann Unfiltered 💀
As with his previous solo work, Lindemann uses this project to push further into raw, controversial territory than Rammstein typically allows. Free from band consensus, his solo output feels more personal, more grotesque, and more confrontational—an unfiltered glimpse into the artist’s darker creative impulses.
“Alles Ändert Sich…Ich Nicht” isn’t just a song; it’s a declaration. Lindemann remains exactly where he wants to be—unapologetic, immovable, and utterly indifferent to expectations.
Industrial discipline meets unrelenting force as one of the genre’s architects strikes again.
⚙️ A New Release Forged in Steel
Dependent has officially released “Will nicht – MUSS! / On Collision Course” by DIE KRUPPS, delivering a dual-track statement rooted in precision, power, and confrontation. This release reinforces the band’s legacy of merging mechanical rhythm with militant intent—no excess, no retreat.
🔥 Collision Is Inevitable
From the defiant German-language command of “Will nicht – MUSS!” to the forward-driving pressure of “On Collision Course,” DIE KRUPPS sound focused, hardened, and unapologetic. These tracks feel engineered for impact—march-ready electronics, rigid structure, and an undercurrent of resistance that refuses to yield.
HIGHSOCIETY & Micah Martin collide with Zardonic’s bass-fueled chaos for a remix built to detonate speakers.
⚡ A New Single Rewired for Maximum Impact
FiXT has officially released “Going Under (Zardonic Remix)”, transforming the original HIGHSOCIETY & Micah Martin collaboration into a relentless hybrid of rock, electronic aggression, and cyberpunk energy. Zardonic injects his unmistakable style—razor-edged synths, crushing low end, and pulse-racing momentum—into a track that thrives in both the pit and the club.
🔊 Where Rock Meets Electronic Warfare
Micah Martin’s powerful vocal delivery remains front and center, now surrounded by Zardonic’s high-octane production that amplifies the tension and intensity. The result is a remix that doesn’t just reinterpret the song—it weaponizes it.
No album cycle. No compromises. Just raw, confrontational energy aimed straight at the dancefloor.
🔥 A New Single—And It Stands Alone
MIKROMETRIK has officially unleashed “Ashes of God [Club Mix]”, a standalone release forged to exist outside the upcoming album’s narrative. This isn’t a teaser or a leftover—this track is its own entity, built to hit harder, darker, and more aggressively than anything before it.
⚙️ Harsh Energy. Relentless Intent.
Driven by punishing EBM rhythms and aggrotech ferocity, “Ashes of God” channels unfiltered anti-religion fury into a club-ready assault. It’s confrontational, uncompromising, and designed to burn everything in its path. Expect zero mercy—only impact.
After weeks of anticipation, the rollout has officially begun. KING 810 LIVE! has landed on SAMHAIN 2—and this is only the opening strike.

Prefer sound over sight? The LIVE CD captures the full performance experience in raw audio form.
As winter descends across alien terrain, Celldweller opens a shimmering portal between galaxies, holiday nostalgia, and the next era of his sonic universe.
A Holiday Broadcast from the U.S.S. Solaris ❄️🚀
Hovering above the frozen Atirian plains, Celldweller reflects on how a fresh coat of crystalline snowfall can soften even the harshest landscape. From Command Control aboard the U.S.S. Solaris, he uses this rare serenity to deliver a gift to his interstellar listeners: the first two tracks from his growing Offworld Christmas collection.
His blistering, atmospheric renditions of “Silent Night” and “What Child Is This?”—now available everywhere—mark the beginning of a long-term plan to craft a full offworld holiday album, one song at a time. No luck required—just relentless cosmic craftsmanship.
Millions of Streams & A Year of Gratitude 🌌
With 2025 approaching its final checkpoint, Celldweller turns his attention back to you—the listeners who helped push his music into the millions upon millions of streams. Every play, every share, every deep-dive into his sonic architecture fuels the engine behind his galaxy-sized creativity.
New Worlds, New Scores, New Sagas 🎮🔥
The year ahead marks a major turning point. Celldweller now confirms two full game scores have been completed:
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver – The Dead Shall Rise
A second, yet-unannounced score dropping in early-to-mid 2026
Whether you’re a fan of the franchises or simply a devotee of dark, cinematic audio, he promises these compositions stand on their own as massive pieces of the Celldweller mythos.
God Mode: The Next Celldweller EP 💀⚡
The next chapter begins with God Mode, a brutal, high-energy EP already pulsing with momentum. The first single “Fakebreaker”—featuring SWARM and REEBZ—has already rocketed to 1.6 million views on YouTube in a single month.
Next up: “Respawn,” now in the final phase of production, vocals locked, arrangements nearly perfected. With luck (or determination), it should reach listeners in early 2026.
Even further down the pipeline is a new track tentatively titled “No Damage,” along with sketches for additional songs. Celldweller assures fans: God Mode is very real—and very imminent.
Scandroid Reawakens 🟥🟦
On the synthwave frontier, the Scandroid universe has been quietly expanding in the shadows. A full album already exists in demo form, with several tracks fully mixed and awaiting deployment.
This era promises the most elaborate world-building ever attempted under the Scandroid banner—an immersive retro-futuristic odyssey set to unfold once God Mode clears its final checkpoints.
Upgrading the Arsenal: Canon R6 mkIII & New Creative Tools 📸✨
After an agonizing internal battle between Canon and Sony, Celldweller made his choice: the Canon R6 mkIII now joins his offworld toolkit.
This means sharper studio content, more detailed behind-the-scenes glimpses, and perhaps… short films. Ambitious? Absolutely. Off the table? Never.
And if you’ve got unused photography or videography gear gathering stardust in storage? Send it into orbit—he’ll put it to work.
Holiday Warmth from the Cold Atirian Surface 🎁🌲
As moonflare pines glow against a bleak alien horizon, Celldweller reminds fans that warm vibes—and holiday sales—await at the FiXT Store.

Toward 2026 and Beyond 🌠
Celldweller closes his transmission with hope: wherever you roam—Earth, Atiria, or any orbit in between—pause to embrace whatever peace your world can offer. Spend time with family, friends, or your favorite Outland Industries Companion Bot (Series 9 recommended for optimal conversation).
He’ll see you back on Earth in 2026. Until then… sleep in heavenly peace.
From the depths of the Dark Lands comes a new mutation: Collected: Into The Dark Lands – Chronicles of the Pale Wanderer: The Remixes, a collaboration forged by the ever-expanding Dark. Descent. collective — now available for descent, distortion, and ritual consumption.
The Pale Wanderer Returns… in New and Distorted Forms 🖤
The Pale Wanderer does not fade. Instead, its shadow stretches longer, darker, and more disfigured as familiar themes twist into unfamiliar shapes. This remix companion pushes the mythology of Chronicles of the Pale Wanderer further into the abyss, reshaping past echoes into something far more vicious, more cryptic, and more ritualized.
Each remix channels a different vein of the Wanderer’s essence, expanding the lore with fresh scars and spectral interpretations. What once was known is now reborn — warped, sharpened, and spiritually unhinged.
A Family of Shadows Reworking the Bloodline ⚔️
In true Dark. Descent. fashion, the artists themselves confront each other: Paired at random, members of the D.D. family were tasked with reimagining one another’s work, tearing apart familiar sonic DNA and rebuilding it into four axes of darkness.
The result? A convergence of minds, a communion of blackened creativity, and a shared frequency that vibrates between myth, memory, and metamorphosis.
Industrial chaos architect CAUSTIC tears open the vault once again, resurrecting the long-buried This Is Jizzcore: PreJizz EPs (2008) — a relic from an era before streaming swallowed the underground.
A Blast From the Filthy Past 🩸
Originally dropped as free downloads on the legendary VampireFreaks platform in late 2008, these early EPs were the feral warm-up before CAUSTIC released the full-length This Is Jizzcore the following year.
For years, these tracks were buried in the digital graveyard, unheard and untouched. Now, they crawl back into the light — unrestored, unfiltered, and unapologetically chaotic.
A Who’s Who of Industrial Mayhem ⚙️
The release features a stacked lineup of remixers from the golden age of online industrial culture, including:
UBERBYTE (RIP Richard)
SKINJOB (RIP Fitz)
UNWOMAN
[SYNDIKA_ZERO]
BETA VIRUS
ALTER DER RUINE
…and more resurrected audio degeneracy
This EP set is more than a release — it’s a digital artifact from a subculture that thrived before algorithms, playlists, and “skip” buttons. A preserved snapshot of industrial’s DIY heartbeat, soaked in noise, humor, and absolute audacity.
MORTAL REALM Invokes Digital Decay with New Single “ROT (And Decompose)” 💀
US industrial force MORTAL REALM returns with a corrosive new offering, releasing “ROT (And Decompose)” on December 5th via Negative Gain — a track that drags listeners deeper into the project’s expanding world of dread-soaked electronic ritual.
A Descent Into Beautiful Corruption 🖤
“ROT (And Decompose)” is a slow, shadow-breathing anthem of erosion and emotional collapse. Built on heavy mechanical pulses, haunted atmospheres, and MORTAL REALM’s signature sonic corrosion, the track feels like a living machine rotting from within — and inviting you to witness every moment of its decay.
The single’s design is intentionally claustrophobic, textured, and immersive, pulling from the raw power of industrial grit while weaving in melodic undertones that linger like ghosts in rusted hallways.
The Mind Behind the Machine: Adam V. Jones ⚙️
MORTAL REALM is the multi-genre, industrial-driven creation of Adam V. Jones, known for his impactful work in Haex and Sterling Silicon.
After carving open a new era of dark electronics with the 2024 debut album Stab in the Dark on Negative Gain Productions, the project has continued expanding its sonic palette — fusing heavy electronics, melodic textures, and esoteric atmospheres into a style that feels both ritualistic and futuristic.
“ROT (And Decompose)” marks one of two new singles arriving in Fall 2025, alongside the emotionally crushing “With a Heavy Heart,” signaling a new chapter of evolution in Jones’s expanding world of digital sorrow and industrial chaos.
Negative Gain’s Arsenal Grows Stronger ⚔️
With each release, MORTAL REALM becomes a sharper weapon in Negative Gain’s dark sonic arsenal. This new single is crafted for fans who crave immersive industrial soundscapes, post-apocalyptic electronics, and emotionally charged decay — a track meant to burrow under the skin and stay there.
Symphonic metal powerhouse Beyond the Black return with a soaring, deeply emotional new single, “Ravens,” the fifth preview from their upcoming studio album Break The Silence — arriving January 9th, 2026 via Nuclear Blast Records.
“Ravens” is a tribute to unity, loyalty, and shared resilience — rising together through darkness like the birds that give the song its name. The single and its accompanying video feature contributions from Beyond the Black fans themselves, embodying the album’s central theme: breaking communication barriers and forging connection in a divided world.
Frontwoman Jennifer Haben describes it perfectly:
“‘Ravens’ is about belonging — about finding light in others when everything feels disconnected. Hearing our fans’ voices on this song made that message real in the most beautiful way.”
The band adds a heartfelt message to their community:
“This song was created with our fans at its heart. Thank you, our RAVENS, for helping us bring it to life.”
🎶 Listen Now: /shortcode
The upcoming sixth album, Break The Silence, expands Beyond the Black’s signature melodic metal into a cinematic concept record blending ethno influences and emotional depth. Tracks such as “Let There Be Rain,” “(La Vie Est Un) Cinéma,” “Ravens,” and “The Flood” explore how communication — or the lack of it — shapes relationships, identity, and resilience. It’s a multilayered journey reflecting the complexities of the modern world.
French synthwave titan Carpenter Brut has returned, tearing open the next chapter of his dark cinematic universe with the release of “Leather Temple,” the first single from the third and final installment of his legendary Leather trilogy, arriving in 2026. Brut’s newest offering is a serrated collision of abrasive beats, metallic tension, and dystopian world-building—his most ambitious vision yet.
Directed by Dehn Sora, the accompanying video introduces Midwichpolis, a scorched post-nuclear metropolis reborn from the ashes of 2077. This sprawling nightmare city forms the narrative backbone of the new album.
At its core stands the monolithic Temple, a blackened tower piercing the skyline like a ceremonial blade. It serves as the throne of Iron Tusk, the brutal ruler whose empire thrives on fear, propaganda, and decadence. While the upper sectors—known as the City of Light—bathe in neon excess, holographic glamour, and grotesque luxury, the truth is far more rotten. Below the shimmering facade stretch the Midwich Slums, a labyrinth of ruin, poverty, and perpetual surveillance. Here, rebellion simmers. Here, the shadows swallow the innocent whole.
“Leather Temple” channels this tension directly into sound. Its steel-sharpened beats and heavy metal-kissed riffs echo the rage of the oppressed, while blistering neon synths reflect the glowing corruption above. Saturated in 90s electro grit and soaked in dystopian atmosphere, the track stomps forward with distorted aggression and relentless propulsion—classic Carpenter Brut, but fiercer, darker, and even more cinematic.
Since erupting onto the scene in 2012, Carpenter Brut has fused metal, dark electronic music, and ‘80s pop culture into his own unmistakable universe—equal parts John Carpenter, Dario Argento, Slayer, and Justice. The Leather trilogy has become a modern mythos: • Leather Teeth (2018) — a glam-rock-infused neon nightmare • Leather Terror (2022) — a brutal slasher odyssey following anti-hero Brett Halford • The forthcoming final chapter — the ultimate crescendo of this filmic saga
Carpenter Brut’s live spectacle continues to evolve alongside the narrative, and he has announced extensive European and U.S. dates for March 2026, including a massive North American co-headline run with HEALTH.
UK industrial/electronic force j:dead has launched a massive year-long campaign—12 singles in 12 months—and the first strike has already landed with devastating impact. “Pressure”, released today via Infacted Recordings (DE), arrives as both a mission statement and a warning: expect zero restraint from here on out.
Built on urgency, tension, and raw emotional voltage, Pressure captures everything this campaign intends to deliver. The track radiates immediacy—dark electronics, visceral vocals, and a production style sharpened for both the introspective listener and the dancefloor addict.
The single moves like a psychological collapse in two acts: the first half drifts in with melancholic isolation, quiet tragedy, and emotional fragility… before detonation. The second half hits hard—percussive, aggressive, club-driven, and cathartic. It mirrors the human breaking point: sometimes shattering us, sometimes transforming us.
Musically, Pressure continues j:dead’s evolution toward bigger hooks, darker atmospheres, and increasingly cinematic storytelling. The vocals cut deep while the electronics pulse with a near-mechanical inevitability. It’s a powerful opening salvo for the 12-month series, setting a high bar for what’s ahead.
With performances at Amphi Festival, Wave Gotik Treffen, Plage Noire, and other major European dark-electronic events, j:dead is quickly embedding himself into the fabric of the modern industrial scene. His refreshed sound is wired for live impact, ensuring every upcoming single will land heavy in club sets across the world.
The underground just rumbled — MATT HART has announced his newest descent into dystopian darkness: TALES FROM THE BELOW.
Known for fusing industrial grit, cybernetic atmosphere, and post-apocalyptic storytelling, Hart’s latest chapter promises a heavier, deeper excavation of the world beneath the wasteland. Tales From the Below feels less like a simple announcement and more like a transmission — a warning flare fired upward from the dark.
Expect pounding machines, metallic tension, and narrative shadows that refuse to let go. This is MATT HART at his most expansive and mythic yet.
Check it out now and step into the underworld he’s building.
Confusion Inc. closes 2025 with a final shockwave as Slighter drops a brand-new reimagining of the In Ruins standout: “WORMS (DJ Dub).”
This version hits different — stripped, sharpened, and rebuilt for maximum club damage. Slighter leans into a laser-focused, beat-driven architecture that transforms the original into a venomous dancefloor weapon. It’s darker, tighter, and engineered to move bodies through smoke and strobe.
And for a limited time, Slighter is handing this one out like a holiday hex: FREE to download by entering 0 at checkout. A perfect year-end gift before the project storms into 2026.
Twisted Flesh Recordings cracks open a new abyss today as Against I erupt with their latest sonic offering, Darkness Within — a release carved straight from the marrow of industrial aggression and shadow-drenched atmosphere. This is not just another drop… it’s an invocation. A pulse. A descent.
From the first hit, Darkness Within coils around the listener like barbed wire in slow motion, fusing dark electronics, punishing rhythms, and a sense of dread that feels almost ceremonial. Against I sharpen their sound here — tighter, heavier, more unrelenting — proving once again why they remain a force inside the darker corners of alternative music.
This release is engineered for dim rooms, heavy nights, and those who find comfort where the light refuses to go.
Check out Darkness Within now and experience the fracture point between power, pain, and purpose.
