⚡ 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).

🔥 KING 810 DROP NEW SINGLE “I DON’T MIND” AHEAD OF RUSTBELT NUMETAL 2

Flint, Michigan’s most notorious heavy outfit King 810 have unleashed their latest single “I Don’t Mind”, another brutal preview of their upcoming record Rustbelt Numetal 2, set for release on October 31, 2025.

🩸 Raw Violence Meets Vulnerability

“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.

NØIR vs Silver Walks Reimagine Cyberaktif’s “Nothing Stays” 💀

🕸 A Collaboration Across Continents

True to its name, “Nothing Stays” embodies the fractured, borderless world we live in. Not a single artist involved was ever in the same room.

🦠 Flesh Field Reissues Viral Extinction in Remastered Glory

The electro-industrial classic returns June 27th via Metropolis Records

Flesh Field resurrects its monumental debut, Viral Extinction, now fully remastered and available once again to ignite speakers and summon shadows. Originally released in 1999, the album fused cinematic electronics, fierce guitar work, militant percussion, and choral samples into a signature sound that pushed the boundaries of industrial music.

📅 Viral Extinction returns on June 27th, 2025, via Metropolis Records and includes the haunting new single:

🎧 “Where Angels Go to Die” — a darkly angelic descent into spiritual decay, described by Ian Ross as “apocalyptic in language, but musically designed to feel beautifully bleak.”

  10. Animal
  11. Fallen Angel
  12. Cyberchrist
  13. Prophecy (Nostrothomas A23 Mix)
  14. My Saviour (Violated Beauty Remix)

👁 Flesh Field: Reawakened and Reforged

Formed by Ian Ross in Columbus, Ohio in 1996, Flesh Field erupted onto the scene with an aggressive yet orchestrally grand vision of electro-industrial. Their debut, Viral Extinction, quickly earned attention for its layered textures and dramatic sonic architecture—setting a benchmark for dark electronic music at the turn of the millennium.

After releasing the Redemption remix EP in 2000 and the critically lauded albums Belief Control (2001) and Strain (2004), the project went silent. Despite that, Flesh Field’s music endured—appearing in the soundtracks of True Blood, The Mill, and Project Gotham Racing.

Ross eventually reemerged in 2023 with the concept album Voice of the Echo Chamber, examining the psychology of political radicalization. A companion EP, Voice of Reason, followed in 2024.

Now, 25 years after its initial release, Viral Extinction is reborn—remastered and once again relevant in a world teetering on its own digital precipice.

⚡ Fermion Unveil New Album Conflicted – Out July 25 via Re:Mission Entertainment

A genre-bending fusion of synthwave, EBM, and industrial darkwave that pulls no punches

Re:Mission Entertainment just announced Conflicted, the forthcoming album from Fermion, dropping July 25th—and it’s already being hailed as their most intense and fully realized release yet.

The New Jersey-based duo, Augustine Backer and Eric Shans, have been steadily pushing the boundaries of modern electronic music. With Conflicted, they channel the raw emotion of synth-driven melodies into pounding, dystopian rhythms that blur the line between EBM, industrial, darkwave, and synthwave—offering a sonic journey that’s as introspective as it is danceable.

Stay tuned for pre-orders, track previews, and a full breakdown of the album’s conceptual themes, which promise to strike deep into the tension between self-awareness and struggle.

⚔️ Perturbator Declares a New Era with “Age of Aquarius” — Album Drops October 10

The synthwave overlord returns with a cyber-apocalyptic journey featuring Ulver, Alcest, and Author & Punisher

French darksynth icon Perturbator (James Kent) has announced his upcoming full-length album, Age of Aquarius, set for release on October 10, 2025 via Nuclear Blast Records. This will mark his debut on the legendary metal label, and the album’s thematic focus splits between misanthropy and violent collapse on one side… and the flames of free will on the other. Welcome to the revolution.

💥 Apocalypse Now: The First Strike

The album’s first single, “Apocalypse Now,” is a brooding, cinematic track featuring a powerful guest appearance from Ulver’s Kristoffer Rygg. The accompanying music video—directed by longtime visual collaborator David Fitt—offers a stark and surreal visualization of society spiraling into chaos.

“The first half of the album explores misanthropy and violence,” Kent explains. “The second half reflects the strength of the individual and the rejection of the herd.”

🧠 Themes of War, Rebirth, and Autonomy

Across its 11 tracks, Age of Aquarius takes listeners through war-torn dreamscapes, haunted cityscapes, and introspective spirals. Kent, known for his genre-bending fusion of synthwave, industrial, and post-punk, goes deeper than ever into existential and societal fractures. It’s as philosophical as it is visceral.

Guest collaborations read like a who’s who of dark sonic alchemy:

  • Ulver lends apocalyptic vocals on “Apocalypse Now”
  • Author & Punisher brings machine-worship doom on “Venus”
  • Greta Link delivers haunted beauty on “Lady Moon”
  • Alcest closes the album in celestial ruin with “Age of Aquarius”

📀 Tracklist for Age of Aquarius

  1. Apocalypse Now (feat. Ulver)
  2. Lunacy
  3. Venus (feat. Author & Punisher)
  4. Glass Staircase

  7. 12th House

🤖 SKOLD Declares “All Humans Must Be Destroyed” in Blistering New Single

The cyber apocalypse starts now as Tim Skold launches his first shot from the upcoming album Caught In The Throes.

💥 AI, Identity, and the Death of Humanity

Today, June 27, SKOLD has unveiled “All Humans Must Be Destroyed”, the first single from his forthcoming full-length album, Caught In The Throes. This aggressive new track doesn’t hold back—blending mechanized industrial rhythms with lyrical themes of artificial intelligence, dehumanization, and a cold suspicion that some people might already be… machines.

SKOLD’s icy snarl cuts through the noise, asking uncomfortable questions about reality and the very nature of what it means to be human.

🎛 A Legacy Forged in Chaos and Machines

The solo project of Tim Skold, the Swedish multi-instrumentalist, producer, and sonic chameleon, SKOLD has spent decades crafting metallic soundscapes and dystopian anthems.

He first emerged from the ‘80s glam wreckage with Shotgun Messiah, before launching his solo career in 1996 with the RCA release Skold—featuring cult hits like “Chaos” and “Hail Mary.” His resume reads like a roadmap through industrial history:

  • 🧨 KMFDM albums: Symbols (1997), Adios (1999), Attak (2002), and Blitz (2009)
  • ⚔️ Co-founder of MDFMK (2000)
  • 🕯 Marilyn Manson collaborator (2002–2008): The Golden Age of Grotesque, Eat Me, Drink Me, and iconic covers like “Tainted Love” and “Personal Jesus”
  • 🧬 Solo albums: Anomie, The Undoing, Never Is Now, Dies Irae

🩸 Beyond the Solo Realm

Skold has also left his fingerprints on other corners of the heavy music world:

  • 🎯 Co-wrote/produced Motionless In White’s charting albums Infamous (2012) and Reincarnate (2014)
  • 🩻 Collaborated with Psyclon Nine‘s Nero Bellum on Not My God (2020–2023)
  • 💔 Blended nu-metal, hip-hop, and alt-rock on Love Ghost x Skold (2024)
  • 🧠 Joined forces with Ye for upcoming 2025 productions

🔥 Caught In The Throes – Full Tracklisting

  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)

🧠 Circle of Dust Returns with “Neophyte” – A Sonic Frankenstein’s Monster

Klayton of Circle of Dust is back, and he’s stitched together a track that defies convention. “Neophyte” began with a long-forgotten riff—haunting his hard drive for over a decade. Described as having a Trouble / Black Sabbath vibe, the riff carried its own melody and lyrics that Klayton refused to let go.

Though the section bears little resemblance to the rest of the track musically, it makes perfect sense in the mad scientist mind of its creator. “I’ve always enjoyed crafting musical journeys that feel like actual journeys,” Klayton explains. “Consistency be damned—my natural instinct is to mash disparate styles into one cohesive, chaotic whole.”

This is more than a song. It’s a genre-bending odyssey, lovingly described by Klayton as a “tiny song-home” kicked into the world for others to inhabit—even just for a moment.

🗣 “I truly appreciate any of you that have willingly decided to live in one of my musical homes, neophyte or seasoned veteran alike.” – Klayton

🎧 Listen to “Neophyte” and enter the house that chaos built.

🩸 From Scrapped to Spellbinding: Daedric Revives “Callous” with a Vengeful New Pulse

Originally discarded, “Callous” rises from the ashes—reimagined, reengineered, and emotionally raw.

⚡ A Second Chance at Life

Daedric’s newest single, “Callous,” was almost left behind on the cutting room floor. First written in just 20 minutes back in 2021, the track felt dated and disconnected from the band’s evolving vision. But instead of abandoning it, Daedric did something bold—they tore it apart and rebuilt it entirely.

The result? A modernized version of “Callous” that pulses with atmospheric electronics and powerful dual vocals, perfectly aligning with the rest of their dark, cinematic soundscapes.

💔 Cold on the Outside, Bleeding on the Inside

Lyrically, “Callous” plunges into themes of betrayal, emotional abandonment, and revenge. The title reflects the illusion of indifference—punishing someone while secretly harboring pain. The dual vocals represent an inner conflict, almost like arguing with your own reflection in the mirror.

It’s not just a song—it’s a confrontation with heartbreak itself.
