Damage Control bring precision and force, while Leæther Strip injects a signature intensity that reinforces the track’s raw, uncompromising edge.

🎧 STAHLGEIST’s “Justice”: A Crash Course in EBM Mayhem (Out June 13th, 2025 – Detention Recommended!) 🎧 – 💀

Hailing from the heart of Hungary and wielding powerful rhythms comes STAHLGEIST, the nation’s prime purveyors of Electronic Body Music. Their latest decree, “Justice,” isn’t just an album; it’s a 13-track sonic sentencing that proves their recent “Silence” EP was merely a polite cough before a full-throated roar. The masterminds behind this auditory arraignment are István Gazdag (also known for FIRST AID 4 SOULS and FIRST AID TECH) and the vocal prosecutor Tamás Bank (of WORKER MUNKAS and INTERZONE INC.). Together, they’ve crafted their most rigorously engineered and brutally effective record to date – a dance floor demolition expertly produced and as shadowy as an oil slick in a moonless night.

Prepare for a journey that begins with the wailing sirens of the opening track, “Justice,” navigates the darkly melodic highways of “Bad Galaxy,” slams you with the percussive force of the club hit “Boots On The Ground,” and finally leaves you in the stark quietude of “Silence.” This album cleverly synthesizes the militant drive of vintage NITZER EBB, the catchy synth lines of AND ONE, the sonic venom of LEAETHER STRIP, and the precise impact of FRONT LINE ASSEMBLY, all while retaining STAHLGEIST’s distinct Central European edge. Gazdag’s production achieves a crystalline clarity within a darkly textured soundscape, while Bank’s vocals deliver biting accusations against societal ills, urban decay, and even divine comeuppance.

Forged over three years, “Justice” stands as STAHLGEIST’s artistic creed: no backing down, no leniency, just pure power channeled through compelling beats. If your musical tastes align with the classic sounds of FRONT 242 (circa 1985), the relentless intensity of :WUMPSCUT:, the early melodicism of AND ONE, or the stark aggression of NITZER EBB, then prepare to have your speakers thoroughly interrogated.

The final verdict? Unquestionably guilty of inciting total dance floor pandemonium. Initiate playback and feel the sonic gavel fall!

🔗 Leaether Strip’s Electrifying “Thank You America” (Cabaret Voltaire Cover) Finally Unleashed! Plug In Here! 🎧🖤

The legendary Claus Larsen, the mastermind behind the iconic industrial project Leaether Strip, has just dropped a potent and long-shelved cover of Cabaret Voltaire’s seminal track, “Thank You America”! This electrifying rendition is now available for your listening pleasure, directly from the source.

In a candid message to fans, Claus explained the track’s delayed release: “Dear Friends! I recorded this Cabaret Voltaire cover a few years ago, but ‘some’ label people thought it would be a bad idea to release. Oh well, you all know I love America and playing there and music that isn´t listened to is nonexistent, and we can´t have that. Thank you Cabaret Voltaire for making me become a better songwriter! If you are offended, just don´t listen, it’s very easy 🙂 Thank You America! Love Claus.” This personal note underscores Claus’s passion for both the original track and his connection with his American fanbase.

Leaether Strip’s take on Cabaret Voltaire’s “Thank You America” promises to be a powerful fusion of classic industrial grit and Claus Larsen’s signature sonic intensity. Known for his raw vocals, hard-hitting beats, and often politically charged lyrics, Leaether Strip is likely to inject this cover with a contemporary edge while honoring the groundbreaking spirit of the original. Cabaret Voltaire, pioneers of industrial and electronic music, released “Thank You America” in 1981, a track known for its stark soundscapes and critical commentary. Leaether Strip revisiting this influential piece is a significant nod to the genre’s roots.

For longtime fans of both Leaether Strip and Cabaret Voltaire, this release is a must-hear. It’s a unique opportunity to witness a legendary industrial artist paying homage to another pivotal force in electronic music history. Claus’s personal investment in the track and his dedication to his audience make this release all the more compelling.

Don’t let this powerful cover remain nonexistent! Plug in, turn up the volume, and experience Leaether Strip’s electrifying “Thank You America.”

🌃 CHICAGO’S COMASOFT Return with Triumphant New EP “Gather at the End”! 🎸

Chicago’s electro-rock quartet, Comasoft, have made a triumphant return with their brand new EP, “Gather at the End,” released on April 25th via Moth in a Flame! The EP features five fresh tracks, including the previously released singles “Numbing” and “Firebomb.”

Produced at BLVM3 Studios in Chicago, “Gather at the End” features founding member Tomasz Banach alongside Ramirez, Christopher Lee, and Chris Cambell. This marks Comasoft’s first new music since 2023’s “Finis Temporis” and 2015’s “Let’s go All the Way” EP.

This new EP is particularly significant as it celebrates the 20th anniversary of their self-titled debut release on Moth in a Flame Records. Over two decades, the band has released two full-length albums, four EPs, and numerous singles, including their college radio hit “10volt.” While band members have evolved, Comasoft continues to deliver a sound that feels both fresh and reminiscent of iconic bands like The Cure, Placebo, and Gary Numan, all wrapped in an 80s neon aesthetic. Ramirez’s new romantic vocals blend seamlessly with powerful synthesizers and sharp guitars.

Gather at the End Tracklisting:

  1. Fire Bomb
  2. Restless Life
  3. Numbing (Perchance)
  4. Deprive
  5. Trapped in a Vial

For those who came of age in Chicago between Generation X and Millennial, Comasoft was a familiar face in the city’s dark, fog-filled clubs, sharing stages with electro-glam contemporaries and supporting major acts like Madina Lake, Hawthorne Heights, Breathe Carolina, The Presets, and Kill Hannah, as well as dark electronic artists such as IAMX, Apoptygma Berzerk, and Stabbing Westward.

Comasoft made their long-awaited return to the stage this past November, opening for a sold-out hometown show with Stabbing Westward. Riding high on the energy of that performance, Jay Ramirez and Comasoft focused on completing their new EP and booking more shows in 2025. Upcoming dates include a headlining show at Cobra Lounge in Chicago on April 25th and supporting EBM legends Leaether Strip in Columbus, Ohio on July 11th. More dates for 2025 are expected to be announced soon.

COMASOFT LIVE DATES 2025:

4/25/2025 Cobra Lounge, Chicago w/ BA Sisters and DJ Leo

7/11/2025 Black Swan Bar and Grill, Columbus w/Leaether Strip and the Stigmas
