💀 DULCE LIQUIDO Detonates New Single “LA INFAMIA DE LOS FALSOS” Ahead of Upcoming Album MIND DOMINATION 🔥

Leave a comment

The godfather of Mexican harsh electronics is back. Racso Agroyam—founding member of Hocico and the mind behind the cult industrial project Dulce Líquido—unleashes one final blast of sonic violence before the arrival of his long-awaited new album MIND DOMINATION, out December 19th, 2025 via Out of Line Music.

Today, Dulce Líquido sets the world ablaze with the punishing new single “La Infamia De Los Falsos.” Grinding, venomous, and unflinchingly raw, it offers a deadly final preview of the chaos to come.

The Final Warning Shot ⚡🧪

“La Infamia De Los Falsos” embodies everything that defines Dulce Líquido: corrosive rhythms, mechanical terror, and an atmosphere dense enough to crush lungs. It is rhythmic torture at its purest—Aggranoise, industrial, minimal, and catastrophic.

Listen now:
La Infamia De Los Falsos

Mind Domination — The Next Era of Sonic Warfare 🧨

Mind Domination is built to level dancefloors and destroy neural pathways. Fueled by pounding beats, twisted synths, and Racso’s signature dystopian vision, this album is a brutal continuation of the sound that turned Dulce Líquido into one of the most influential forces in dark industrial music.

Racso describes it best:

“When atoms and beats are combined, Dulce Líquido is ready to annihilate the dancefloors. The record will keep your mind and body dancing until you die on the dancefloor.”

Minimal. Violent. Hypnotic.
This is industrial distortion at full force—a ritual of noise, panic, hate, and absolute catharsis.

Pre-Order Mind Domination:
Mind Domination – Pre-Order

Exclusive “Archives of Domination” Box Set 📦🔥

For true disciples of the project, Mind Domination also arrives in a strictly limited Archives Of Domination edition—containing three additional CDs of unreleased material rescued from Racso’s personal vault.

Digitized from old tapes, MiniDiscs, and CDs, this archive reveals the hidden DNA of Dulce Líquido’s earliest eras.

Racso explains:

“I’ve been preserving this material for years. Some of it I rescued from old recordings—it’s pure gold from the past. These emotions can never be replaced, and I’m proud to finally share them.”

Box Set Includes:

  • Mind Domination CD
  • Cuentos de un Mundo Caído CD
  • Degradación Humana CD
  • Erfus Etallac Y Etereum CD
  • Mind Domination Sticker
  • Hand-numbered certificate

About Dulce Líquido 🖤

Founded in 1993 by Racso Agroyam, Dulce Líquido is an uncompromising vision of industrial extremity—an outlet for isolation, rage, and psychic disintegration. The project rejects boundaries, creating twisted, violent soundscapes where imagination bleeds into reality.

It is the beast beneath the skin.
The panic behind the pulse.
A world of dance rhythms, harsh electronics, and grotesque atmospheres—always seeking the next boundary to destroy.

  • Leaether Strip – The solo project of legendary Danish electronic industrial artist Claus Larsen, formed in 1989. Leaether Strip quickly built a reputation as one of the most exciting emerging industrial acts in the early ’90s.

  • PIG – The British industrial group founded by Raymond Watts, featuring En Esch, both original members and songwriters of KMFDM.

🏛️ About Metal Blade Records

Born from a record store clerk’s passion project in 1982, Metal Blade Records became the engine behind countless legendary bands. Brian Slagel famously helped launch Metallica via Metal Massacre, and went on to shape the careers of Slayer, GWAR, Amon Amarth, Cannibal Corpse, Fates Warning, The Black Dahlia Murder, and dozens more.

In recent years, Metal Blade has celebrated its 40th anniversary with live events, reissues, branded spirits, and a second book from Slagel, Swing of the Blade. The museum is the physical embodiment of that legacy—a love letter to the fans and the genre that continues to evolve and endure.

🎧🎶 DEATH RATTLE Unleashes New Single/Music Video “The Darkness” Today! Album “The Moral Chokehold” Out July 11th 🎧

New England metal band DEATH RATTLE continues to build momentum with the release of their powerful new single and music video, “The Darkness,” available today, June 2nd, 2025. This release comes as anticipation builds for their forthcoming album, The Moral Chokehold, now set to drop on July 11th, 2025, due to a manufacturing delay.

Check out “The Darkness” on all streaming/download digital platforms or watch the music video here.

“’The Darkness’ is collectively one of, if not our most favorite song from the ‘Moral Chokehold,” states guitarist Ryan Vanderwolk. “Not only is it the closer for the record, but also the closer for our live sets. Born from a couple of riff ideas, it quickly grew to a much larger, and diverse song as everyone put their fingerprints on it. There are the elements of the groove, and aggression Death Rattle does well, but also has more relaxed moments, a huge catchy chorus, and a very progressive climax. ‘Rage against the dying of the light’ and enter ‘The Darkness.’”

Building on recent tours with diverse acts like Left To Die, Gorgoroth, and Aeturnus, and gaining traction on Liquid Metal radio, DEATH RATTLE showcases their blend of groove, melody, and aggression, as previously heard in tracks like “Malthusian Dependency”, “Immersed in Black,” and “Nietzsche, and the Fall” (featuring Bjorn “Speed” Strid of SOILWORK/THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA).

Pre-order The Moral Chokehold now for a limited edition 300 “Philosopher’s Moon” colored vinyl, CD, and Digital formats at http://lnk.to/deathrattle.

The Moral Chokehold boasts a powerful sound, thanks to production by Kevin Billingslea (Lamb of God, Trivium), mixing/mastering by Jens Bogren (Amon Amarth, Kreator), and stunning artwork from Tamer Azab of The Dark Art in Dubai.

“We are beyond stoked to release ‘The Moral Chokehold.’ For us, this album has been almost four years in the making. We had a blast writing and recording it, but for the last year we have been in the trenches making content and releasing things to hype up the release. It is the grind of the music business. It feels so good to finally get back to what we are passionate about – the music. Releasing these songs to the world and touring to support them is what this whole venture is all about. Creatively, this was a giant step forward for us. We experimented with writing more in the studio environment and playing with different melody structures. It has brought out a new energy in our live show. When a group of songs inspires the band to begin writing the next album before the music is even released, you know you have made something special. That is how we feel about ‘…Chokehold.’ We cannot wait for you all to hear this thing all the way through.”

Hailing from New England, a region known for producing influential metal acts, DEATH RATTLE aims to follow in those footsteps. They have already released two independent albums, toured the US four times (including supporting The Convalescence), and toured Japan twice, supporting acts like Cattle Decapitation, Revocation, Ne Obliviscaris, and Wolfheart. They have also played regionally with Hatebreed, Soulfly, Unearth, Crowbar, Allegaeon, Philip H Anselmo and the Illegals, Let Us Prey, and appeared at festivals like Mayhem Fest, Summer Slaughter, New England Metal and Hardcore Fest, and the Tattoo & Music Festival.

Upcoming Live Shows:

  • 6/13 – Jewel – Manchester, NH
  • 6/14 – The Cage – Lewiston, ME

DEATH RATTLE is:

  • Trey Holton (vocals)
  • Ryan Vanderwolk (guitar)
  • Justin Brown (bass)
  • Chris Morin (drums)

🎧🎶 Ships In The Night to Perform at Wave-Gotik-Treffen Festival! 🎧

Ethereal darkwave artist Ships In The Night is set to perform for the first time at the upcoming iconic Wave-Gotik-Treffen festival in Leipzig, Germany. This performance marks a major milestone for the project helmed by Alethea Leventhal, known for her haunting vocals, cinematic soundscapes, and emotionally charged live shows.

Wave-Gotik-Treffen, held annually in Leipzig since 1992, draws over 20,000 attendees and transforms the city into a celebration of Gothic culture, music, fashion, and art. Ships In The Night is scheduled to perform among a vast selection of acts spanning darkwave, post-punk, and industrial genres that include Drab Majesty, Public Image Limited, New Model Army, and Selofan, to name a few.

Ships In The Night’s latest album, “Protection Spells,” was recently released by Metropolis Records, earning critical praise with a sound that echoes the melancholy of ’80s darkwave while also forging new emotional ground. “It’s an incredible honor to be part of a festival that has meant so much to the dark music community for decades,” says Alethea. “I’m excited to bring Ships In The Night to Leipzig and share this experience with people from around the world.”

Ships In The Night will perform at Moritzbastei for the Wave-Gotik-Treffen festival in Leipzig on Friday, June 6th at 9 PM.

WHAT IF YOU’RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HAPPY? 🤔

Let’s be real for a moment: this whole “pursuit of happiness” thing is getting a tad annoying, right? 🙄 Happiness is everywhere! Instagram reels screaming about “highest vibrations,” ads promising happiness through protein powder and coffin-shaped lamps, and podcasts titled “How To Finally Be Happy (And Make Millions…).” 💸🛋️💊✨ And honestly, does it really work? Not for many, even those who are financially stable and healthy. 🤷‍♂️ So, the thought arises: what if you’re not supposed to be happy all the time? 🤔 What if that was never the point? 🎯 What if this modern obsession with constant happiness is just another marketing scheme for a life that doesn’t actually exist? 🛍️

Broken GPS 🧭

When Faderhead was 25, the goal was a record deal. ✍️ Got it. Then, it was people at shows. 🚶‍♂️ Got that too. Then, people singing along. 🎤 Check. And guess what? Faderhead was still the same moody, overthinking, slightly-depressed, alcohol-fueled dude with endless half-finished projects and a mix of genius/garbage ideas. 🤷‍♂️🍺📝 Happiness, it turned out, was a moving target – and Faderhead was chasing it with a faulty GPS. 😵‍💫

The Alternative 🕊️

What if peace is better than happiness? 😌 What if “content” is better than “ecstatic”? 😊 What if waking up without dread and sleeping with a calm mind is the real win? 🏆 A few weeks ago, someone much younger asked, “Are you happy?” 🤔 Faderhead’s answer: “No. But I’m at peace with most things. And I’m doing stuff that matters to me.” 🙏 Maybe that quieter space, where work feels meaningful and the mind isn’t at war, is the real destination. 🧘 Getting older helps with this perspective. 👴 At 20, it’s all about “more.” ➕ More stuff, more success, more experiences, more “likes.” 👍 Approaching 50, “less” starts to look like freedom. ➖ Less chaos, less drama, less noise, less bullshit. 🚫 Suddenly, quiet moments, close friends, and doing your own thing without external validation become more appealing. 🤫🤝 And somehow, that feels… good. Solid. Real. A quiet kind of content. 💯

What’s The Goal Then? ➡️

So yeah, maybe you’re not supposed to be happy all the time. 🤔 Maybe you’re supposed to be useful. 🛠️ Maybe you’re supposed to grow through pain instead of avoiding it. 🌱 Maybe life isn’t a 24/7 Disneyland ride, but a well-built road that gets you where you need to go, even if it’s bumpy. 🛣️ And maybe, just maybe, you’re doing better than you think. ❤️ Now stop scrolling for happiness and go do something that actually matters to you. ✨

💥 BELLHEAD Fire Warning Shots with Explosive New EP THREATS

Death, revenge, drowning, heartbreak, and murder—Chicago’s bass duo returns louder, darker, and more dangerous than ever.

Chicago’s rising industrial post-punk duo BELLHEAD have officially dropped the hammer with the announcement of their new EP THREATS, set for release on April 8, 2025 via Oppressive Sky Records. Available on CD, digital download, and all major streaming platforms, the title track is already live now via Bandcamp preorder.

🔥 THREATS is the first new material since their 2023 EP Good Intentions, and it’s a full-throttle evolution in both sound and style. Familiar themes of femme fatales, heartbreak, murder, and sorrow are back—but this time, the duo have cranked up the intensity and peeled back the curtain.

🎯 A New Era Begins

Gone is the signature black-and-white branding. In its place: vibrant yellow and a sharp, full-color portrait. For the first time, you can see the faces behind the menace: Ivan Russia and Karen Righeimer-Schock are making good on their threats.

Engineered by Neil Strauch and mastered by Carl Saff, the 7-track EP includes five new songs plus two remixes—each dripping with venom and vision. Highlights include:

  • “Heart Shaped Hole” twisted into a hallucinogenic haunt by Clubdrugs
  • “Bad Taste” reimagined with Stabbing Westward’s Chris Hall, giving it a dancefloor stomp you won’t soon forget

🩸 THREATS Tracklist

  1. Threats
  2. Heart Shaped Hole
  3. Shutters + Stutters
  4. No Dead Horses
  5. Double Jeopardy
  6. Bad Taste (Stabbing Westward Remix)
  7. Heart Shaped Hole (Clubdrugs Remix)

⚔️ BELLHEAD Live 2025

Fresh off a relentless national touring schedule that saw them supporting legends like Stabbing Westward, Clan of Xymox, Julien-K, and Night Club, BELLHEAD is heading back on the road in support of THREATS.

Spring Tour Dates:

  • 3/27 – Indianapolis, IN – Black Circle Brewery
  • 3/28 – Kenosha, WI – Port Of Kenosha

🔥 Faderhead Unleashes New Single “This Is Not The End” + Mindset Hacks for High-Functioning Controlled Chaos 🧠💥

🎤 New Track Previewed Live in Germany

Kicking off March with explosive energy, Faderhead delivered a sold-out show in Oberhausen, Germany—where fans got a surprise taste of a brand-new track: “This Is Not The End.” Despite never having heard it before, the crowd went off.

📹 Watch the crowd reaction here

The official music video will be filmed this Saturday in Hamburg, where the team hopes for an equally electric audience. The single is scheduled to drop mid-May, just in time to crank momentum before Wave-Gotik-Treffen.

💿 FH20 Album in the Works

In last month’s Patreon studio stream, Faderhead teased plans for a brand-new full-length album in early March 2026.

Why now?
2026 marks 20 years since the release of Faderhead’s debut album “FH1”, and what better way to celebrate than with an “FH20” release.

After a string of singles in 2024, it’s time for something more immersive. Faderhead is back in album mode.

🎛️ 1-Hour Rave Mix: Not Your Typical FH Vibe

March’s 1-hour Patreon-exclusive mix takes a rave-forward detour. Less darkwave, more full-on energy.

It’s rhythmic, pulsing, and designed to attract new listeners—so if you’re into high-octane beats, give it a spin.

🎟️ Upcoming Faderhead Live Dates

💪 Mindset Hacks: Fuck Your Excuses, Use Microbursts Instead

Q1 is over. Are your New Year’s resolutions collecting dust? Let’s fix that.

We all make excuses—life’s busy, motivation’s low, the timing’s never right. But if you wait for perfect conditions, you’ll stay stuck forever.

⏱️ Microbursts: The 10-Minute Fix

Instead of aiming for a perfect hour-long work sprint, start with 5–15 minutes of focused action.
Set a timer. Do one task. When it dings, you’re done. Or keep going.

That’s the magic of microbursts—small momentum snowballs fast.

🗓️ Temporal Landmarks: Hit Reset on Command

Want a clean slate? Use temporal landmarks like Mondays, birthdays, or the 1st of the month to mentally reset.
Pick a hard start date and commit. No waiting for motivation. Just move.

🧠 Perfection Is a Lie. Progress Is Power

You don’t need the perfect hour or the perfect energy. You need movement.
Start with one push-up.
One sentence.
One small win.

Because motion beats perfection every time.

🚀 Take the Shot

Next time you’re tempted to delay:
Say “fuck that.”
Set a timer.
Start something.

Small wins build big momentum.

Antania Joins Psyclon Nine on U.S. ‘Devils Work’ Tour in 2025

The rising “Doom Bass” pioneers Antania are set to join industrial metal heavyweights Psyclon Nine on their highly anticipated ‘Devils Work’ Tour across the United States this spring. Known for their groundbreaking fusion of black metal, doom metal, and electronic bass music, Antania continues to captivate audiences with their innovative sound and visceral live performances.

Heralded as the inventors and champions of the “Doom Bass” subgenre, Antania has been active since June 2023, quickly carving a unique niche in the metal and electronic music scenes. Drawing influences from Slayer, Ministry, The Prodigy, Morbid Angel, and Deicide, the band has been likened to “the Slayer of bass music.”

The duo, composed of Dr. Luna (bass and electronics) and Kali Mortem (vocals), forgoes traditional string instruments, creating their sound by wrapping distortion around saw and sub-bass lines using a microbrute synthesizer. Sponsored by KAT Percussion, Dr. Luna delivers intricate polyrhythms over trap beats and blast beats, while Kali Mortem’s blackened, abrasive vocals evoke a haunting intensity.

“This tour is a dream collaboration,” said Dr. Luna, also a high priest at the Temple of Hecate in New York City. “We’re excited to bring our ‘Doom Bass’ sound to Psyclon Nine’s fans and see how the dark aesthetics of both bands resonate.”

Antania’s critically acclaimed debut album, The God Complex (January 2024, The Triad Records), has garnered praise from fans and press alike. Metal Digest called it “a filthy record of utter low-frequency brutality”, highlighting tracks like “Black Glitch Six” and “Trophy.” Their recent single “D3D Solz” further demonstrates their innovative sound, solidifying their place as pioneers of a new metal subgenre.

Tour Dates

The tour kicks off on January 31, 2025, at Brick By Brick in San Diego, CA, and spans multiple cities including Portland, Seattle, Detroit, and New York. The full schedule includes:

January 31, 2025 – Brick By Brick, San Diego, CA

February 2, 2025 – Star Theater, Portland, OR

February 3, 2025 – El Corazon, Seattle, WA

February 5, 2025 – Gray’s Keg Saloon, Lincoln, NE

DIMMU BORGIR Teams Up with Fredrik Nordström for Highly Anticipated Album

Norwegian symphonic black metal titans DIMMU BORGIR have officially entered the studio with longtime collaborator and producer Fredrik Nordström. Fans are eagerly speculating that this marks the creation of their much-anticipated follow-up to 2018’s Eonian.

Earlier today, the band shared a behind-the-scenes glimpse of their recording process, posting a photo of drummer Dariusz “Daray” Brzozowski in the studio alongside Nordström, captioned simply, “#studiotime.”

This forthcoming album also represents a significant transition for the band, following the August 2024 departure of guitarist Galder (Thomas Rune Andersen), a longtime member of DIMMU BORGIR’s infernal core.

In a March 2024 interview during the Inferno Festival in Oslo, guitarist Silenoz (Sven Atle Kopperud) shared insights into the band’s creative process. He explained:

“We’ve been working on new material for a while. Even during the pandemic, we used our downtime to work individually before collaborating to create something unique. Fans want a new album quickly, but we’d rather take the time to make something better than good.”

Discussing their stylistic evolution, Silenoz noted the band’s shift away from traditional black metal early in their career:

“Even on our first album, we began exploring beyond the ‘underground black metal’ label. Each album represents a natural progression, and we’ve never set boundaries for our creativity. ‘Eonian’ leaned more into orchestration, but who knows what the next album will bring?”

DIMMU BORGIR’s lineup has seen many transformations over the years. Reflecting on this, Silenoz said:

“After so many years, you understand yourself and your bandmates better. It’s not just about writing music—it’s about getting along offstage too. Age and experience have helped us maintain a more stable lineup.”

Currently, DIMMU BORGIR’s official lineup comprises Shagrath (lead vocals) and Silenoz (rhythm guitar), supported by session musicians Daray (drums), Geir “Gerlioz” Bratland (keyboards), and Victor Brandt (bass).

Released in 2018 to commemorate the band’s 25th anniversary, Eonian was an ambitious effort that expanded the symphonic elements first introduced with 2010’s Abrahadabra. Following its release, DIMMU BORGIR toured globally, captivating audiences at legendary festivals like Wacken Open Air and Hellfest.

In December 2023, the band unveiled Inspiratio Profanus, a compilation of electrifying covers from metal legends such as VENOM, DEEP PURPLE, and CELTIC FROST.

Fans were treated to a nostalgic moment at Inferno Festival 2024 when three former members — bassist/clean vocalist ICS Vortex, keyboardist Mustis, and drummer Tjodalv — joined DIMMU BORGIR on stage to perform The Insight And The Catharsis from their 1999 album Spiritual Black Dimensions.

As DIMMU BORGIR begins work on their new album, the metal world awaits what promises to be another boundary-pushing masterpiece from one of the genre’s most innovative bands. Stay tuned for more updates as they emerge from the studio.

Supporting HARDWAREZ
The tour supports MBR’s latest album, HARDWAREZ, released last month via Metal Blade Records. The record delves into the duality of technology, continuing MBR’s legacy of innovative soundscapes.

HARDWAREZ builds upon the foundations laid by Personal Computer (2022) and Floppy Disk Overdrive (2020), marking a bold evolution in MBR’s sound. Composed entirely via MIDI and live-streamed on YouTube during its creation, the album introduces live guitars for an enhanced sonic experience. The result is a dynamic blend of pulsating rhythms, intricate arpeggios, and majestic riffs that bridge the gap between synthetic and organic soundscapes.

This unique approach earned HARDWAREZ impressive chart positions in its first week:
USA – Billboard

  • Current Electronic Albums
