DarkHeart Syndicate Reveal New Single “Behind My Eyes”

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.

Rammstein’s Till Lindemann Reveals a Visceral New Era With “Alles Ändert Sich…Ich Nicht” 💀🔥

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.

💀 SPANKTHENUN Resurrects the Spirit of 1987 with Their Hypnotic New Single “Berlin”

The pulse of a forgotten era roars back to life as SPANKTHENUN unveils “Berlin,” a pure New Beat time capsule forged entirely from authentic 1987 hardware.

The Sound of a Dark Dancefloor Reborn 💀

SPANKTHENUN steps straight into the shadows of electronic history with “Berlin,” the first transmission from their upcoming New Beat Collection: Era 1987. This release is more than a song—it’s a restoration of an era when underground clubs bled smoke, neon, and minimalist mechanical rhythm.

To honor the origins of New Beat, the band turned back the clock and used only gear from 1987—no modern shortcuts, no plugins, no digital gloss. The result? A raw, pulsing, hypnotic groove that feels ripped straight from a European nightclub caught between darkness and desire.

A Refrain That Possesses the Mind 🖤

The mantra at the core of Berlin is as addictive as it is transportive:

“Baby, take me to Berlin.”
“Baby, nimm mich mit nach Berlin.”

A bilingual invocation. A looping seduction. A phrase engineered to echo in your skull long after the track stops spinning.

This is the kind of single that doesn’t just play—it haunts.

💀 GRABYOURFACE Confronts Love, Loss & Beautiful Violence in New Video “All I Have Is Love, All I Do Is Destroy”

France’s sad electronica/dream pop enigma GRABYOURFACE returns with a haunting new visual for “All I Have Is Love, All I Do Is Destroy,” the standout descent into heartbreak from the February 5th album Sadgirl Mixtape.

A Ritual of Ruin ⚡

In the new video, GRABYOURFACE drifts through the motions of daily life — smoking, walking, driving — the kinds of quiet rituals we cling to when a relationship collapses under its own weight. Each gesture feels slow, suspended, as if time itself refuses to move forward. Beneath these momentary distractions sits the raw void: loneliness, lingering pain, and the quiet ache of trying to outrun memories that won’t stop whispering.

It’s stark. It’s vulnerable. It’s the sound of a heart learning to beat again.

👉 Watch the video: All I Have Is Love, All I Do Is Destroy

A Soundtrack for Crying in the Dark 🌙

GRABYOURFACE thrives in that intoxicating place between emotional ruin and dancefloor confessionals — where tears fall in strobe lights and heartbreak turns into something strangely powerful.

Her sonic palette draws from Boy Harsher, Linkin Park, Lana Del Rey, and Lil Peep, forming a shadowy hybrid of dream pop, sad electronica, and emotional excavation. At her shows, she lets the demons loose: a catharsis of dark glamour, melancholy, and violent beauty. It’s intimate. It’s dangerous. It’s unforgettable.

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.

🔥 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.

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.”

RAY NOIR Confronts Defiance and Love on New EP, Against The Machine

London-based artist RAY NOIR has just released his most personal and unapologetic effort to date, the EP Against The Machine. This EP is a blend of industrial rock, goth, and electro-metal, and explores love, loss, and defiance from the perspective of a queer person fighting to be seen.

Against The Machine features a guest appearance from Grammy-winning guitarist Steve Stevens and was produced by Jon Cass. The project is described by Noir as “romantic, violent, tender, and angry all at once,” a scream from the margins for those who have always been told they don’t deserve love.

Along with the EP, Ray Noir has released a music video for the single “Mad World.” The video for this politically charged ballad, which you can watch here, strips everything back to expose the stark reality of living in a world dictated by power and corruption.

SpanktheNUN Declassifies New Project, BLAK

Industrial music provocateurs spankthenun have released a new project titled BLAK, which they are presenting not as a traditional album but as a “declassified sonic dossier.” The release is framed as an urgent advisory to the public, warning of an “imminent data release” detailing a phenomenon described as a subculture unified by a stark, dark aesthetic.

The band states that the project is a deep-field study into a “memetic contagion” and that the tracks themselves are “stabilizations” of data. These sonic interpretations include “The Singularity Edit,” which represents an act of separation from the mainstream, and “The Event Horizon Edit,” which explores the boundary of this subculture. A third track, “The Absolute Zero Rendition,” captures what the band calls the sound of “elegant, defiant isolation.”

In a statement, the band acknowledged their role in the phenomenon, saying, “We were not composing; we were documenting a memetic contagion…This release is a warning, an invitation, and a confession. We are all part of the experiment now.”

BLAK is now available on all major streaming platforms, with exclusive versions offered on their Bandcamp page.

BLAK is a chilling and atmospheric release that pushes the boundaries of industrial music, delivering a soundscape that is both immersive and unsettling. The project’s unique conceptual framing as a government-style data release adds to its intrigue and artistic weight. It is a must-listen for fans of industrial, darkwave, and experimental electronic music.

Mach Fox Announces New Album “Chaos Of Man”

Mach FoX will release the new 7-song album Chaos of Man in October 2025 on Phage Tapes. The album will be available on cassette and digital.

Originally intended for the third Zwaremachine album, these songs were reworked after the passing of drummer Dein Offizier in August 2023. The project was then released under the Mach FoX name, as the songs no longer fit the current Zwaremachine live set. The album features the classic Zwaremachine trio of Mach FoX, bassist Dbot, and the late Dein Offizier on surdo drum.

The single “Biteback” from the album was released on Friday, September 5th.

Chaos of Man is for fans of industrial rock and Wax Trax.

Zwaremachine is currently on “The Machine Comes Alive Tour,” which includes both European and U.S. dates. This tour is notable as it features the new lineup following the passing of drummer Dein Offizier.

Aesthetic Perfection: A Winter Tour, Reimagined Album, and More

Happy Monday, Perfectionists! Things are busy at Aesthetic Perfection HQ. While we’re gearing up for our upcoming winter tour with Till Lindemann, we’re also excited to announce a series of headline shows on the We Bring the Beat Tour. All dates and ticket links are listed below.

We’re also secretly working on a new album and even discussing a potential return to North America in 2026. Stay tuned for more details as they develop, and if you want access to top-secret information and regular updates, consider joining our Imperfect Society community.

In the meantime, the reimagined reissue of my debut album, Closer to Human, is finally available in the North American shop, and my Dark Force Fest lecture has been published on YouTube. You can find all the details on these below. Your support means the world to me!

Closer to Human | Out Now!

On June 20th, I released the long-awaited reissue of my debut album. This isn’t just a simple re-release; it’s a complete reinvention of the 2005 original, rebuilt from the ground up using all the original samples and synthesizers.

During the initial preorder, the red vinyl editions nearly sold out, but a handful were reserved for my online shops. They’ve just arrived in our facility and are shipping now. Don’t miss out, because once they’re gone, they’re gone! Closer to Human is available in all formats in both the Aesthetic Perfection North American and European webshops.


How to Make It When You Haven’t Made It

On May 3rd, 2025, I finally held the talk I’d been planning for over a decade. Originally conceived for SXSW in 2014, my lecture explores the realities, promises, and pitfalls of being an independent musician. It’s meant to help artists turn their passion into a profession without relying on the traditional music industry.

Give it a watch on YouTube and let me know if you’d like me to do more presentations like this.

🎵 NEW SINGLE OUT NOW: Cyberpunk Rework of “This Is Not The End”
ICYMI in yesterday’s message: I’ve just dropped a Cyberpunk version of “This Is Not The End”—and yes, it’s over 50 BPM slower than the original. Strange twist? Even diehard fans of the original (and known remix haters) are vibing with it hard. 🖤 It’s moody. It’s deliberate. It’s a completely different animal. ▶️ Stream everywhere now or watch the video on YouTube: YouTube Video Spotify / Apple / All Platforms

🖤 INDUSTRIAL IS DEAD. LONG LIVE INDUSTRIAL. 🖤
There’s a phrase I can’t get out of my skull—it clings like sweaty PVC in a crowded goth club: “Industrial is dead. Long live industrial.” No, it’s not poetic. It’s fact—as loud and clear as a distorted Suicide Commando snare. Let me explain.

🤖 What is Industrial in 2025?
Once, “industrial” meant dissonant, confrontational noise made by weirdos in bondage pants and art school trauma. Think Throbbing Gristle. Early Wax Trax. Music that didn’t want your love—it wanted your fear. But now? The average “industrial playlist” on Spotify is an identity crisis: one part aggrotech, one part synthpop, and maybe a sprinkle of Nine Inch Nails for comfort. Some artists still bleed rebellion, but a lot of what’s called “industrial” today feels about as threatening as a pastel bat plushie from Etsy. So yeah: Industrial is dead. But the idea behind it isn’t.

🧱 The Cage of Labels
The term “industrial” used to mean danger. Chaos. Revolt. Now it’s just another keyword. Say it today and people expect: A Harsh EBM clone of a 2007 Grendel B-side. Post-metal with layered screams and down-tuned guitars. Cyberpunk techno with overused AI samples. Or worse, nothing at all, because the scene stopped caring a decade ago. It’s become a nostalgia trap. A genre cage. And inside that cage, nothing grows.

🔥 Make Music That Hits, Not That Fits
I don’t write music to save a genre’s ghost. I write songs to gut-punch your ears and brain simultaneously. Sometimes it’s dark electro. Sometimes synthpop. Sometimes sad goth rave balladry with a side of emotional damage. If it moves you, it doesn’t need a label. If the label limits you? Burn it. Too many artists stay shackled to the word “industrial” like it’s a badge of honor instead of a creative shackle. But maybe the most industrial thing we can do in 2025 is say: “FUCK the label.” Bring back the attitude that made industrial important in the first place—Rebellion. Risk. Rawness. Innovation.

🚀 So What Now?
Stop treating “industrial” like a genre. Treat it like a mindset. ⚠️ If your track doesn’t fit a playlist, GOOD. You’re doing something right. ⚠️ If it pisses off a gatekeeper, EVEN BETTER. ⚠️ Make the music you want to hear, not the music people expect from you. Respect the past. Don’t live in it. You can love Skinny Puppy and still drop a beat that sounds like Giorgio Moroder crash-landed in a post-apocalyptic rave.

Industrial is dead. Long live industrial.
Let’s stop preserving the corpse and start building something new from its bones. Let’s make noise they can’t categorize. Let’s make something they can’t ignore.

🩸 spankthenun Break the Chains with New Single “Sucking”

Obedience is over. Devotion is dead. Now we bite.

Industrial juggernauts spankthenun return with their latest sonic revolt, “Sucking”—a vicious new single that rips the mask off blind faith and servitude.

🔥 “We are raised to obey, kneel, and drink in the lies like milk from a holy breast…”
This isn’t just music—it’s war against indoctrination. With brutal beats and seething vocals, Sucking is a raw exorcism of the control systems dressed as care, of religion dressed as love, of every leash disguised as purpose.

A filthy, blistering anthem for the disobedient, Sucking snarls against the suffocating grip of forced devotion:
🐕 “Trained to serve, worship, and forget we have teeth… but now we bite back.”

Whether you’ve felt the noose of doctrine or the collar of conformity—this track is for you. Crank it. Shatter the silence. Sink your teeth in.
