⚡ When Machines Begin to Dream in Terror: ManMindMachine Unleash “Nightmare” 💀

The Danish synth automatons return with a chilling new chapter—one where even robots are afraid of the dark.

Nightmare Arrives Friday — And It Bites Hard 🩸

The new digital single “Nightmare” drops Friday, November 14th, 2024, across all major streaming platforms — and in pristine lossless format through ManMindMachine’s Bandcamp, complete with an exclusive bonus track, “Monsters.”

The Track: Synthetic Fear Wrapped in EBM ⚙️💀

“Nightmare” is an energetic, melodic EBM burner—wired with pulsing basslines, crisp machine grooves, and a sinister layer of horror-infused atmosphere. It’s the kind of track that compels the body to move while the mind slips into a darker dimension.

Over on Bandcamp, listeners also get “Monsters,” an exclusive b-side that slides into a slower, more haunting realm. Downbeat. Paranoid. Velvet darkness. A very different emotional vector, but unmistakably ManMindMachine.

When Robots Face the Dark: The Nightmare Lore 🤖👁️

The last time we encountered ManMindMachine, their robotic consciousness had evolved—dreaming not of electric sheep, but of possibilities beyond human constraint.

But around Halloween / Samhain / Allerheiligen, when the veil between realms grows thin… something changed.

The robots began to dream of nightmares.
They saw monsters in their sleep.
And they couldn’t understand why.

Unaccustomed to fear, their digital minds split:
What is a dream? What is reality?
What stalks them from inside their own code?

Now they invite you into their terror loop.
Are you ready for the nightmare?

Who Are ManMindMachine? ⚡

A Danish Synth/EBM collective, ManMindMachine are driven by a devotion to alternative electronic music—but with a mission to reinterpret genres in fresh and unexpected ways. Their sound fuses classic EBM pulses with futuristic textures and philosophical machine-mythology.

☢️ IN ABSENTIA Resurfaces with Long-Lost “Enola Gay” Cover After 30 Years

A forgotten EBM gem revived from the archives—out April 18th via Tinnitorturous

Originally recorded in 1995, IN ABSENTIA’s fierce electro cover of Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark’s iconic anti-war anthem “Enola Gay” is finally seeing the light of day. After spending three decades entombed on a DAT tape, the track has been digitally restored, remastered, and will be released April 18th, 2025 as a pay-what-you-want download via Bandcamp.

🎧 A long-lost relic from the early Danish EBM scene returns—louder, sharper, and more relevant than ever.

💣 From Vault to Victory

Founded in 1990, IN ABSENTIA became a cornerstone of Denmark’s early EBM movement, releasing two full-lengths and a mini-album before disbanding in 1996. Their cover of “Enola Gay” was never officially released—until now. Unearthed and mastered for a new generation, it pulses with vintage urgency and freshly polished grit.

🧛 Back from the Shadows

Since reigniting in 2012 and returning fully in 2020 to celebrate their 30th anniversary, the band has steadily reissued old material and unveiled new sonic assaults through Tinnitorturous. In 2024, they performed live for the first time in nearly three decades at Rust, Copenhagen, and 2025 sees the launch of two brand-new albumsReanimated and Resurrected—along with festival performances across Europe including Familientreffen in Germany.

ee:man returns with Visions of a Dark Mind, a stunning evolution into a darker, grittier industrial sound dubbed “ee:2.” This release promises to resonate with fans of acts like Front Line Assembly, Front 242, and Gary Numan.

Building on the single Dark Mind, this EP showcases ee:man’s distinctive sound transformation while retaining the atmospheric depth and intricate melodies that fans have come to love. Visions of a Dark Mind is a bold step into an industrial EBM territory, blending haunting synth lines, thunderous beats, and brooding vocals for an unforgettable auditory experience.

The EP will be available on all major streaming platforms and in lossless quality on ee:man’s Bandcamp.

Track Highlights and Video Premiere

  • ‘Hold on Hope’
    A dark yet irresistibly catchy track accompanied by a striking lyric video, which premieres on January 24, 2025.

About ee:man

Emerging in 2021 with Echoes of Life, ee:man quickly gained recognition for his melancholy synth-driven sound fused with industrial undertones. Often compared to Recoil (Alan Wilder’s project), ee:man has expanded his sonic palette by collaborating with notable EBM acts like In Absentia and Negant.
