I Ya Toyah Drops “Denial (Aesthetic Perfection Remix)” – A Dark New Pulse in the Cyber Scene 💀

The ever-fierce I Ya Toyah returns with a new surge of energy through “Denial (Aesthetic Perfection Remix)”, reimagining her haunting industrial sound with Daniel Graves’ signature electronic venom. This remix blends icy synth lines, pulsating bass, and a dose of Aesthetic Perfection’s dark-pop flair, transforming the original into a dancefloor inferno for the disillusioned and defiant.

Fans can expect the remix to amplify the raw emotion and cyberpunk tension that I Ya Toyah is known for—twisting the edges of pain and beauty into something electrifying.

🎶 Listen Now:

💬 “Denial is about confronting the uncomfortable truths we try to bury,” says I Ya Toyah. “This remix turns that confrontation into a dark celebration—a scream disguised as a song.”

⚡ About I Ya Toyah

Born in Poland and now based in Chicago, I Ya Toyah’s name translates roughly to “It’s just me”—a fitting declaration for the one-woman army behind her music. Blending industrial, darkwave, synth-pop, and electronic rock, she writes, records, and produces everything herself, championing a fiercely DIY ethos under her own label Femme Fatale Records.

Her work delves deep into themes of mental health, human rights, and self-empowerment, often donating proceeds from her music and merchandise to causes such as the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and Animal Hope & Wellness. I Ya Toyah views her project not merely as music, but as a movement—a rallying cry for individuality and strength in dark times.

Her debut album Code Blue (2018) introduced her as a formidable voice in the industrial underground, with subsequent releases and collaborations pushing her further into global recognition. “Denial (Aesthetic Perfection Remix)” continues that legacy, fusing raw emotion with machine-driven precision.

🌍 Upcoming Tour Dates (Post November 1, 2025)

I Ya Toyah is currently bringing her electrified stage presence to Europe, delivering an immersive live show that merges sound, light, and sheer intensity.

⚡ Simon Carter Unleashes Outliers – A Cyberpunk Dancefloor Storm

UK electronic powerhouse Simon Carter has officially dropped his brand-new album Outliers, with pre-orders live now and the full release set for October 3rd, 2025. Dropping just in time for Bandcamp Friday, this release is already turning heads in the global industrial and electronic scene.

🎶 From Singles to Sonic Uprising

After the high-voltage singles “Pain & Pleasure” and “Dusk Till Dawn” lit up dark clubs and playlists worldwide, Carter now presents the full-length Outliers—a record engineered for dancefloor dominance. Expect a relentless journey through heavy low-end, neon-lit atmospheres, and pulse-pounding rhythm designed to make bodies move.

🌀 The Sound of Outliers

Carter’s latest is a fusion of Techno, Dark Electro, Industrial Bass, and Cyberpunk energy, shot through with flashes of his signature Trance and Futurepop elements. The result is an album that feels equally at home in underground raves, cyberpunk soundtracks, and the high-voltage chaos of the modern industrial scene.

Simon Carter states:

“Outliers is about capturing those who exist outside the norm—people, ideas, and music that disrupt the cycle. It’s built for connection, release, and catharsis on the dancefloor.”

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.

🎛️ Behind the Sound
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. Promo photography by Luz Sanchez, live photography by Vinny Barreras, cover and logo design by Drew Ew (with “deathmetallogo” by Darren Adcock).

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.”

🔥 The Sound of FIEND II

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.

You can stream or download Against The Machine HERE

A Deluxe Edition of the EP is set to follow in December 2025, featuring exclusive remixes by Tension Control, Verona on Venus, Junkie Kut, and Die Kur. The EP will also be released on vinyl and CD at a later date.

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.

Key Tour Details:

  • U.S. Dates: The tour includes shows in Sioux Falls, Minneapolis (a hometown show supporting Leæther Strip), and Chicago.
  • European Dates: The band is also performing in Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands, with some shows featuring bands like Vuduvox and Enzo Kreft.
  • Current Lineup: The live shows feature Dutch guitarist Paul K and a new drummer/guitarist in addition to founder Mach FoX. This new live configuration is distinct from the trio that recorded the Chaos of Man album.

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.

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.

🖤 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.

Whether you’re dealing with two-faced friends, hollow musicians, or performative players, this track pulls no punches.

🎙️ “This one’s for the fakes—
Fake people, fake friends, fake musicians.
The ones who pretend.
The ones who copy.
The ones who will NEVER be us.”

LOCKJAW’s relentless output has been shaking the underground, and “FAKE” continues their reign of raw honesty and sonic fury.

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.”

“Grief” isn’t just an album; it’s an intimate journey, a sonic tapestry woven with threads of vulnerability and strength.

Their message is one of empowerment and hope: “We have power to change things and create miracles!”

The profound impact of “Grief” has already been recognized, with Andy Brown of Louder Than War eloquently stating: “‘Grief’ is the sound of perseverance, the triumph of art and the human spirit in the face of adversity.” This powerful endorsement speaks volumes about the album’s ability to connect with the deepest aspects of the human condition.

⚙️🔗 LOCKJAW Re-Engineers Garbage Classic “Vow” with Ramirez & Pillar! Set to Detonate May 23rd! 🎧🖤

Prepare for a sonic recalibration! The enigmatic project LOCKJAW is gearing up to unleash their electrifying cover of Garbage’s iconic track “Vow” on Friday, May 23rd, 2025. This isn’t just a simple rendition; LOCKJAW is tearing down the original and rebuilding it with their own signature industrial-tinged intensity. Adding extra voltage to this sonic experiment are two familiar faces from the scene: the formidable Jose Ramirez (formerly of LOCKJAW) on guitars, and the powerhouse Ken Pillar (known for his work with Project 44, WORM, and Apocalypse Theater) on drums.

While details surrounding LOCKJAW remain somewhat shrouded in digital mist, their reputation for crafting hard-hitting, technologically infused soundscapes precedes them. This cover of “Vow” promises to be no exception, likely injecting the original’s raw energy with a layer of metallic grit and electronic precision. The involvement of Jose Ramirez, a former architect of LOCKJAW’s sonic identity, adds an intriguing layer of continuity and perhaps a nod to the project’s past.

Ken Pillar, a name synonymous with thunderous and intricate drumming in the industrial and alternative metal underground, further elevates the anticipation for this release. His powerful rhythms and dynamic style are sure to provide a solid and driving backbone to LOCKJAW’s interpretation of the Garbage classic. The collaboration between these seasoned musicians hints at a cover that will not only pay homage to the original but also carve its own distinct sonic territory.

Garbage’s “Vow,” released in 1995 as their debut single, was a groundbreaking track that blended alternative rock with electronic textures and Shirley Manson’s distinctive vocals. Its raw emotion and powerful delivery cemented Garbage’s place in the mid-90s music landscape. LOCKJAW’s decision to tackle such an influential song suggests a bold and potentially transformative reimagining.

The anticipation for LOCKJAW’s “Vow” cover is building within the industrial and alternative music communities. The combination of LOCKJAW’s sonic aesthetic, the return of Jose Ramirez on guitar, and the percussive force of Ken Pillar on drums makes this a highly anticipated release for fans of both the original track and the darker, more electronic edges of alternative music. Mark your digital calendars for Friday, May 23rd, and prepare for a sonic collision of past and present.

Stay locked onto your digital feeds for the imminent release of LOCKJAW’s cover of “Vow.” This promises to be a potent injection of industrial energy into a beloved alternative anthem.

Keep your circuits open for LOCKJAW’s “Vow” on May 23rd!

⚡️🔗 VNV Nation Constructs a New Sonic Landscape with Highly Anticipated 2025 Album! 🎧🖤

The titans of futurepop, VNV Nation, helmed by the visionary Ronan Harris, have once again expanded their sonic empire with the release of their twelfth studio album, “Construct,” on May 9th, 2025, via their own Anachron Sounds imprint. Following the critically acclaimed “Electric Sun,” “Construct” marks another significant step in VNV Nation’s evolution, delivering a meticulously crafted collection of ten tracks that seamlessly blend their signature anthemic beats with profound emotional and lyrical depth.

Originally conceived as part of a double album project titled “Construct // Destruct,” the sheer scope and distinct character of each collection led Harris to ultimately release them as two separate entities. “Construct,” as its name suggests, leans towards a more positive and forward-looking sonic architecture. Ronan Harris himself has described the album as exploring the duality within us, the “two wolves” vying for dominance, and the importance of acknowledging our shadow selves to find balance. He also hinted that fans of their classic track “Illusion” would find much to embrace within this new offering.

“Construct” builds upon VNV Nation’s established sound while pushing its boundaries. From the pulsing energy of the previously released singles “Silence Speaks,” “Station 21,” and “By Your Side,” to the emotive and orchestrally-inspired moments found in tracks like “Nothing More” and the epic “Frontier I + II,” the album offers a dynamic and immersive listening experience. Harris’s lyrical prowess remains a cornerstone, weaving narratives of resilience, hope, and the search for meaning in an increasingly complex world.

The album’s creation took place at VNV Nation’s Hamburg studio between May 2024 and January 2025, with Ronan Harris at the helm of production. The mixing was a collaborative effort between Harris and Benjamin Lawrenz, known for his work with Lord of the Lost and KMFDM, while mastering duties were handled to ensure a polished and powerful final product. The physical release of “Construct” features a striking cover design, employing a grid of cut-out characters to subtly reveal the band name and album title, adding another layer of artistic depth to the project.

With “Construct” now available on various formats, including Digipak CD, limited and regular vinyl, and digital platforms, VNV Nation continues their journey of sonic exploration, building new anthems for their devoted fanbase. This album serves as a testament to their enduring creativity and their ability to construct soundscapes that resonate deeply within the hearts and minds of their listeners
