ASSEMBLAGE 23 Ignites Hope with New Single “Believe” 💿

Electro-industrial and synth-pop icon Assemblage 23 — the project of Tom Shear — returns with “Believe,” the powerful new single from the upcoming album Null, out November 7th, 2025 via Metropolis Records.

✨ Finding Light in the Static
“This song is about believing that there is hope for better things, even with the state of the world as it is today,” explains Shear. “We are responsible for making the kind of world we live in. In the face of bad times, sometimes the most subversive thing you can do is have hope.”

“Believe” marks the second single from Null — Assemblage 23’s tenth studio album and the long-awaited follow-up to 2020’s Mourn. The record also features the recent single “Tolerate” and showcases Shear’s trademark fusion of melodic precision, emotional resonance, and electronic craftsmanship that has defined his two-decade legacy in the dark electronic scene.

💀 Legacy of Innovation and Emotion
Since emerging with Contempt at the turn of the millennium, Assemblage 23 has remained a defining force in futurepop, breaking from European dominance with emotionally charged songwriting and razor-sharp production. Shear’s lyrics — often touching on themes of loss, depression, resilience, and hope — have built a deeply loyal following and continue to resonate across generations of listeners.

💿 Null — Tracklist

  1. Believe
  2. Lunatics
  3. Gone
  4. Fuel
  5. Tolerate
  6. Normal
  7. Last
  8. The Line
  9. Overthrow
  10. Waited

ESA Unleashes 3-Part Music Film “Pound of Flesh” — A Cinematic Descent Into Inner Demons 💀

British industrial/EBM visionary ESA has unveiled Pound of Flesh, a three-part music film drawn from his latest album, Sounds for Your Happiness, released July 5th via Negative Gain Productions.

🎬 Watch “Pound of Flesh” here: YouTube
💽 Order Sounds for Your Happiness: Bandcamp

🔥 A Vision of Darkness and Redemption
Filmed across Bangkok, Thailand, and Manchester, UK, Pound of Flesh marks ESA’s most ambitious visual journey yet. Starring Tan Toafa Maneepasopchock (Gotham, Oceans 10) and Panita Hutacharern, alongside a cast of Thai actors, the film weaves a story of torment, astral projection, and spiritual decay.

The narrative follows a soul plagued by inner demons who learns to leap between bodies through astral projection—only to discover that pain cannot be escaped, merely transferred. As madness spreads through each new vessel, the demons close in, leading to an explosive exorcism sequence that blurs the line between spiritual horror and industrial art.

🎞️ A Sonic and Visual Obsession
Blacker describes Pound of Flesh as both “a powerful narrative experience” and “a love letter to Thailand,” a country that has deeply influenced his creative evolution. The film’s haunting visuals pair perfectly with ESA’s grinding, genre-defying soundtrack—a fusion of EBM, industrial, black metal, dark ambient, punk, techno, and power noise.

As ESA declares:

“I’m moving into the place between the walls you made for me.”

⚡ About the Album — Sounds for Your Happiness
A ferocious blend of chaos and catharsis, Sounds for Your Happiness channels everything from Gesaffelstein to Godflesh, Ulver, and Pitchshifter, crafting a brutal electronic odyssey that’s both punishing and euphoric.

Tim Skold Ignites Industrial Evolution with New Album Caught In The Throes – Out Now on Metropolis Records

The Swedish sonic co-producer of KMFDM, Marilyn Manson, and Motionless In White — is back with his eighth solo album, Caught In The Throes. Released today via Metropolis Records, the record delivers fourteen tracks of sleek industrial power, dark glamour, and razor-sharp commentary.

Fans will recognize recent singles “All Humans Must Be Destroyed,” “Pop The Smoke,” and “All The $ In The World” — each track dissecting the digital decay of humanity, the rise of artificial intelligence, and the mirage of wealth with Skold’s signature venomous wit and pulsing production.

💽 Tracklist

  1. All The $ In The World
  2. Cold As Ice
  3. =’s (Private Libertine)
  4. House Of A Thousand Lies
  5. The Great Theatricality
  6. All Humans Must Be Destroyed
  7. In A Grave (Specter)
  8. Soon Enough
  9. That Kind Of Magic (Confessions Of A Supermodel)
  10. Do You Really?
  11. The Inconsolable
  12. Wrong Everything
  13. Pop The Smoke
  14. Digging My Own Grave

🎸 The Legacy of a Sonic Outlaw

Skold’s journey began in the late ‘80s with glam-metal rebels Shotgun Messiah, before his solo debut Skold (RCA, 1996) launched him into the industrial stratosphere with cult hits like “Chaos” and “Hail Mary.” His work with KMFDM defined an era — contributing to Symbols, Adios, Attak, and later Blitz — while his creative fire burned even brighter with Marilyn Manson, where he co-produced The Golden Age of Grotesque and Eat Me, Drink Me.

Beyond Manson, Skold left his fingerprints all over the industrial-metal world — producing and co-writing Motionless In White’s Infamous and Reincarnate, both Billboard-charting releases. His more recent collaborations — from the nihilistic electro-duo Not My God (with Nero Bellum of Psyclon Nine) to 2024’s Love Ghost x Skold — showcase his unstoppable evolution.

Now, in 2025, Caught In The Throes cements his status as an architect of chaos, where cyberpunk precision meets seductive decay.

ROTERSAND Release New Singles “It Was Night” and “Train” Out Now via Metropolis Records

German dark electro-pop visionaries ROTERSAND have dropped not one but two electrifying singles — “It Was Night” (released September 5th) and “Train” (out now, October 3rd) — further expanding the digital edition of their latest full-length album Don’t Become The Thing You Hated. Both tracks were previously available only on the CD version and are now streaming globally.

The new material continues the duo’s signature balance of brooding atmosphere and intelligent rhythm, uniting philosophical reflection with sharp-edged electronic craftsmanship. These songs arrive as part of the ongoing evolution of Rascal Nikov (vocals, electronics) and Krischan Jan-Eric Wesenberg (electronics), whose work has long blurred the lines between dancefloor power and emotional introspection.

💀 A Dark Reflection of Modern Times
Following their previous singles “Private Firmament (I Fell For You)” and “Sexiness of Slow,” the album stands as both a cultural critique and a sonic manifesto. Don’t Become The Thing You Hated captures the existential unease of an era defined by division and disillusionment. ROTERSAND uses their trademark precision sound design to question how, in fighting oppression and ignorance, one might risk adopting the same destructive tendencies they resist.

Their latest offerings—“It Was Night” and “Train”—fuse propulsive industrial-electronic energy with haunting melodic beauty. The result is a sound both intellectual and visceral: densely layered synthscapes, crisp percussion, and an emotive tension that mirrors the contradictions of our age.

💀 The Message Beneath the Machines
Lyrically, these songs extend the philosophical pulse of the album—inviting listeners to reflect on complicity, anger, and empathy in a world that thrives on chaos. ROTERSAND’s latest work doesn’t just provide a soundtrack for dark nights of the soul—it demands introspection, calling for vigilance against the forces that distort truth and erode identity.

🖤 Don’t Become The Thing You Hated — Out Now
Tracklisting:

  1. All Tomorrows
  2. Higher Ground
  3. Father Ocean
  4. Watch Me
  5. I Will Find You
  6. Don’t Stop Believing
  7. It Was Night
  8. Heaven
  9. Sexiness of Slow
  10. Private Firmament (I Fell For You)
  11. 16 Devils (Hell Deep Down)
  12. Click Scroll Tap Believe
  13. Forgotten Daydreams (They Live At Night)

💀 OneZeroCypher Shatters Boundaries with Fractured Memories — Out Now via DSBP Records!

The digital decay continues as OneZeroCypher unleashes their latest dark electronic opus, Fractured Memories, out now through DSBP Records. This release dives deep into the psychological breakdown of memory, emotion, and machine consciousness—where industrial rhythms grind against cybernetic despair.

Fusing elements of EBM, dark electro, and technoid distortion, Fractured Memories captures the essence of post-human reflection. It’s an auditory labyrinth where logic fails, identity fractures, and the cold pulse of machinery becomes the only heartbeat left. Every track feels like a corrupted data fragment—echoing pain, resistance, and resurrection within the circuitry.

Each beat carries the raw tension of isolation and the beauty of collapse. For fans of Mentallo & The Fixer, Front Line Assembly, and Velvet Acid Christ, this is the perfect transmission from the void.

WORST ONES Drop Crushing New Single & Video “Deny Reality” 💀

Philadelphia’s industrial sludge metal insurgents WORST ONES have returned with a brutal new single and video, Deny Reality—a sonic assault that cuts through willful ignorance with venom, distortion, and uncompromising heaviness.

⚡ Claustrophobic & Hypnotic Sound
Deny Reality channels the bleak pulse of Godflesh, the twisted hooks of Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson, and the sample-driven chaos of Skinny Puppy. Built on relentless electronic percussion and skittering hi-hats that slice through layers of noise loops, the track morphs shredded guitars into inhuman fragments. A towering chorus rises above the chaos, before a crushing breakdown drags the listener into sludge-drenched oblivion.

💀 Lyrical Warfare Against Ignorance
At its core, Deny Reality confronts the culture of willful blindness that has metastasized into complicity. With lyrics like “Cast out your empathy, behold your tragedy” and “My nightmares are dreams, you deny reality,” the track attacks the toxic refusal to see truth—an ignorance that sustains violence and accelerates collapse. It’s not an escape—it’s the very engine of destruction.

🎶 Listen Now
Apple Music – Spotify

🔥 Noise as Resistance
The track will also appear on Abolish ICE, a Philadelphia-based compilation featuring 16 local metal, hardcore, and punk bands—including Trunk, L.M.I., Sunrot, Boozewa, SOJI, Detox Meds, and Get Well. Copies are available in exchange for donations to Juntos, a community-led Latine immigrant rights organization. With this, WORST ONES transform their sound into protest—turning distortion into direct action, and noise into a weapon of resistance.

Deny Reality was written and recorded by Drew Ew and Doppelganga, mixed and mastered by Jared Birdseye, with visuals directed by WORST ONES and Luz Sanchez.

VERFÜHRERVERGELTER Erupts with Post-Void / Pre-Body

Industrial noise entity VERFÜHRERVERGELTER has just dropped their latest transmission, Post-Void / Pre-Body—a release that blurs the line between collapse and rebirth, silence and circuitry, decay and resurrection.

⚡ A Harsh Emission from the In-Between
The release arrives as five sonic bursts described as “transmitted from the primordial soup of decomposed flesh and corroded PCBs.” Post-Void / Pre-Body is not crafted as a soundtrack or a traditional soundscape—it’s a raw dissection, an exposed noise corpus stitched together from tissue, glitches, and electronic residue.

💀 Between Rot and Simulation
With each track, VERFÜHRERVERGELTER drags the listener through liminal corridors:

  • Between shutdown and reboot.
  • Between rot and simulation.
  • Between meaning and total refusal.

The result is a chaotic yet strangely autonomic pulse—harsh noise refusing narrative, rejecting closure, and leaving behind only corrupted fragments.

🔥 The Artist Speaks in Transmission
As VERFÜHRERVERGELTER declares:

“Every transmission is a scream.
But no one remembers how to listen.
Corruption complete. Still leaking…
No closure. No cleanse.”

A recent teaser offers a glimpse of the album’s soundscape, showcasing Antigen Shift’s ability to balance chaos and control with masterful precision.

⚡ SINE DROPS SULTRY NEW SINGLE “SUCCUMB TO ME” ON METROPOLIS RECORDS

US drummer, multi-instrumentalist, and electronic alchemist Rona Rougeheart returns with her project SINE, unveiling the brand-new single “Succumb To Me” via Metropolis Records on September 26, 2025.

🎶 Industrial Meets Dirty Disco

Co-produced alongside Curse Mackey (Pigface) and mastered by Mark Pistel (Consolidated, Meat Beat Manifesto), “Succumb To Me” blends industrial grit, dirty disco grooves, and seismic sub-bass into what Rougeheart defines as her signature style: electronic boom.

Rougeheart explains:
“While working on my next album, I decided to start something fresh just for fun. I anchored the track around two deep synth bass hits that pan left and right for a surround sound feel—especially in headphones. The lyrics practically wrote themselves, cheeky and a little sinister, with a dash of sex appeal. It’s one of my favorite SINE tracks to date.”

🌑 Momentum Rising

SINE officially joined the Metropolis Records roster in 2024 with the single “Trauma Bondage.” Since then, Rougeheart has been steadily building momentum—touring North America with Void Palace and Clan of Xymox, and recently performing at Cold Waves XIII in her hometown of Austin on September 19, 2025. Work is already underway on a full-length album expected in 2026.

🎶 Listen Now:

🧬 Rona Rougeheart: The Force Behind SINE

Born in New York and now based in Austin, Rougeheart grew up surrounded by music, guided by her father who taught her guitar and keyboards before she gravitated to drums. She’s endorsed by Gretsch Drums, Gibraltar Hardware, and Roland.

Her impressive collaborations span the underground and avant-garde, including work with Bauhaus’ David J, Curse Mackey, Nick Zinner (Yeah Yeah Yeahs), Adrian Sherwood, Meat Beat Manifesto, Clan of Xymox, Chris Connelly (Pigface, Revolting Cocks), Andee Blacksugar (KMFDM, Blondie), Xiu Xiu, and the late Mark Stewart (The Pop Group).

“I Don’t Mind” continues King 810’s uncompromising tradition of fusing crushing nu-metal riffs with David Gunn’s visceral, narrative-driven vocal delivery. The track balances moments of raw aggression with hauntingly melodic undertones, showing once again why the band is both feared and revered within the modern metal scene.

🏭 Forged in the Rustbelt

Like its predecessor, Rustbelt Numetal 2 was recorded in a single day in front of a live studio audience of just 45 people, capturing the unfiltered chaos, immediacy, and street-born energy that defines King 810. The new record promises to dive even deeper into the band’s gritty storytelling and industrial Midwest atmosphere, amplifying their reputation as one of the most dangerous and authentic acts in heavy music.

⚙️ AUTHOR & PUNISHER UNVEILS FINAL SINGLE “TITMOUSE” FROM UPCOMING NOCTURNAL BIRDING

Industrial innovator Author & Punisher (aka Tristan Shone) has released the third and final single, “Titmouse”, ahead of his highly anticipated new album Nocturnal Birding, arriving October 3, 2025 via Relapse Records.

🖤 A Sonic Trek Through Fatigue & Survival

“Titmouse” is one of Shone’s most intricate compositions to date—layering pounding machine rhythms, dense synths, mechanical guitars, and guttural vocals into what he describes as a “topographical trek.” Lyrically, the track confronts the mental and physical exhaustion of migration, evoking the relentless endurance demanded when traversing vast landscapes with minimal supplies.

Shone explains:
“‘Titmouse’ pushes me technically and physically as a performer. It’s a grueling track that mirrors the struggles it’s inspired by, carrying the listener through waves of exhaustion and perseverance.”

🐦 Birds as Blueprints

Much of Nocturnal Birding takes direct inspiration from avian life, with riffs, rhythms, and melodies drawn from the tonal patterns of actual bird calls. Earlier singles like “Titanis” and “Thrush” showcased this unique sonic methodology, while “Titmouse” pushes the concept further—transforming birdsong into industrial weaponry.
