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.

ESA Unleashes 3-Part Music Film “Pound of Flesh” — A Cinematic Descent Into Inner Demons 💀

British industrial/EBM visionary ESA has unveiled Pound of Flesh, a three-part music film drawn from his latest album, Sounds for Your Happiness, released July 5th via Negative Gain Productions.

🎬 Watch “Pound of Flesh” here: YouTube
💽 Order Sounds for Your Happiness: Bandcamp

🔥 A Vision of Darkness and Redemption
Filmed across Bangkok, Thailand, and Manchester, UK, Pound of Flesh marks ESA’s most ambitious visual journey yet. Starring Tan Toafa Maneepasopchock (Gotham, Oceans 10) and Panita Hutacharern, alongside a cast of Thai actors, the film weaves a story of torment, astral projection, and spiritual decay.

The narrative follows a soul plagued by inner demons who learns to leap between bodies through astral projection—only to discover that pain cannot be escaped, merely transferred. As madness spreads through each new vessel, the demons close in, leading to an explosive exorcism sequence that blurs the line between spiritual horror and industrial art.

🎞️ A Sonic and Visual Obsession
Blacker describes Pound of Flesh as both “a powerful narrative experience” and “a love letter to Thailand,” a country that has deeply influenced his creative evolution. The film’s haunting visuals pair perfectly with ESA’s grinding, genre-defying soundtrack—a fusion of EBM, industrial, black metal, dark ambient, punk, techno, and power noise.

As ESA declares:

“I’m moving into the place between the walls you made for me.”

⚡ About the Album — Sounds for Your Happiness
A ferocious blend of chaos and catharsis, Sounds for Your Happiness channels everything from Gesaffelstein to Godflesh, Ulver, and Pitchshifter, crafting a brutal electronic odyssey that’s both punishing and euphoric.

💀 OneZeroCypher Shatters Boundaries with Fractured Memories — Out Now via DSBP Records!

The digital decay continues as OneZeroCypher unleashes their latest dark electronic opus, Fractured Memories, out now through DSBP Records. This release dives deep into the psychological breakdown of memory, emotion, and machine consciousness—where industrial rhythms grind against cybernetic despair.

Fusing elements of EBM, dark electro, and technoid distortion, Fractured Memories captures the essence of post-human reflection. It’s an auditory labyrinth where logic fails, identity fractures, and the cold pulse of machinery becomes the only heartbeat left. Every track feels like a corrupted data fragment—echoing pain, resistance, and resurrection within the circuitry.

Each beat carries the raw tension of isolation and the beauty of collapse. For fans of Mentallo & The Fixer, Front Line Assembly, and Velvet Acid Christ, this is the perfect transmission from the void.

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.”

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.

⚔️ 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”

🎥 “Judgement/Prophecy”
🎥 “Widow Song”

Critics Rave About “Prophecy” 🔥📢

🔥 Decibel Magazine – “Hellish blasts of blackened industrial like ‘Death In Bloom’ and ‘Digital Death’ harken back to the digital demonology of 2018’s ‘Possessor.’ While harshness eclipses hooks, mascara traces remain: ‘Widow Song’ enjoys the silence of humanity’s demise.”

🔥 Revolver Magazine – “Bewitching black-metal hisses laid over thumping darkwave synths and thwacking industrial drums. A match made in Hell.”

🔥 Kerrang! – “The world his music inhabits is nocturnal and sinister, bathed in crimson neon; while its electronic beats might point a bony finger in the direction of the dancefloor, the environment it portrays is more ritual than rave…’

🔥 No Clean Singing – “GOST provides both synth and metal purists a focal point to indulge upon with hellish glee. ‘Prophecy’ will no doubt go down as a stylistic staple, an example of how to make immense music of infinite flavors that pulverizes all fortunate enough to be in its wake.”

  • Social Commentary: The band isn’t shy about tackling social and political issues in their lyrics, offering critiques and thought-provoking perspectives on the world around us.

ANGELSPIT’S 11TH ALBUM, ANGELSPIT’S MOST BRUTAL ALBUM TO DATE ‘THE STAR’ (‘THE BASTARD GODS’) IS KICKSTARTING NOW.


The album, set to release in August 2023, is described as Angelspit’s most brutal to date, combining industrial, cyberpunk, and electro-industrial genres.


The Kickstarter campaign offers various formats, including digital, CD, vinyl, tape, and USB. The USB version includes sample libraries, MP3 and WAV files, and a bonus experimental noise EP. Additionally, merchandise such as T-shirts, collars, patches, zines, pins, and stickers are available. You can find more details on the Kickstarter campaign here.

Four tracks from the album are already released on Spotify, which you can listen to here.

“The Star” incorporates unique elements, with melodies created from samples of scraping and bashing large springs and metal sculptures, resulting in a gritty and edgy sound. The album features war drums by Dave NATO from 4th Wall and prominently includes the Blaster Beam, a loud and aggressive instrument. The lyrics explore the impact of new technology on personal interactions, access to factual news, the widening class system, and emerging underclass.

The album’s original title, “The Bastard Gods,” was redacted to “The Star” due to algorithmic restrictions. The album delves into the increasing influence of algorithms and their effects on content censorship and manipulation, referred to as “Bastard Gods.”

Angelspit, a Cyberpunk/Industrial act with a 20-year history, has released over 25 albums and produced numerous remixes. They emphasize independent innovation and encourage artists to pursue their own creative paths.
