Cyanotic has just unleashed their powerful industrial take on the techno/breakbeat classic “Atom Bomb” by Fluke! You can grab this electrifying cover now on a “pay what you want” basis. They hope you dig their industrial-fueled rendition of this timeless track.
Racso Agroyam, best known from the dark electro powerhouse Hocico, has reignited his industrial/techno solo project DULCE LIQUIDO with the release of his new single, “Get On Your Knees.” This is the third single leading up to a forthcoming full-length album.
Released digitally via Out Of Line Music, “Get On Your Knees” is accompanied by a brand new t-shirt, available now at the Out Of Line Shop.
DULCE LIQUIDO follows no particular pattern and breaks the barriers between mind and music with dark, heavy electro beats fit for the darkest depths of any dance floor. 😈
In 2008, a spark ignited in the unlikeliest of places: the cramped cabin of a car in Italy. Marco, already a seasoned vocalist, shared some old-school EBM—possibly Hocico—with his bandmate and bassist Stefano. That moment of discovery hit hard. Stefano fell headfirst into the world of electronic music, determined to master its intricacies. A couple of years later, he sent Marco a rough demo track and asked for some aggressive vocals. The result? A creative bond that would become Synapsyche.
The two began meeting almost nightly, sharing beers and ideas, their connection tightening with every session. Their creative rhythm developed organically. At first, they shrouded their identities and faces in mystery, constructing a conceptual world brick by brick—naming the band, penning lyrics, crafting their first demos. By 2012, they had a full-length album nearly complete and were just waiting for the right moment to strike.
What set them apart was a shared telepathy. They never fought about direction or style. One of the rare turning points came when Marco suggested blending clean vocals into their sound. Coincidentally, Stefano had been leaning into futurepop influences—proof their musical instincts were eerily aligned.
Looking back on their early work brings a smile. There was rawness, an almost innocent sonic violence, and a heavy-handed use of vocal filters. Yet that unrefined edge had charm, even pride. Like many artists, their evolving tastes and growing experience sharpened their ability to craft bolder vocal lines and higher-quality production.
But building a dark-electro identity in Italy came with its own shadows. The scene barely existed. While Germany and the U.S. had thriving support systems, Italy offered little. With scarce club support and limited media coverage, Synapsyche paradoxically found themselves among the country’s top-tier dark-electro acts—largely by default. Bands like Alien Vampires fled to London, a move Marco suspects gave them a better shot at survival. Staying in Italy, on the other hand, meant struggling to spread their wings.
Today, their creative process runs like a well-oiled machine. Stefano composes the foundations—melodies, synths, sonic bones—while Marco crafts lyrics and overarching themes. Once a track is ready, Marco finalizes vocals, records in Stefano’s studio, and together they polish it into its final form. That synergy remains unbroken.
Despite a more polished sound in their latest material, Synapsyche hasn’t lost their bite. Their inspirations stretch far beyond the industrial box—metal acts like Nightwish and Cradle of Filth, pop titans like Lady Gaga, and even classical composers like Bach and Beethoven. Movie soundtracks and dialogue often creep into their work, with samples dropped in like twisted Easter eggs.
The lyrical chaos Marco pens isn’t always his own—it’s often a psychological patchwork stitched from research and character immersion. He creates personas, explores pathology and morality, and writes with layered meaning, inviting interpretation. If a fan sees something in the words that even he didn’t intend, it’s a sign he’s struck gold.
Live shows, though rare in Italy’s skeletal scene, are electric when they happen. Their pre-show ritual? A couple of strong cocktails to loosen nerves. Stefano stays sharp on the keys, while Marco leans into a tipsy edge that amplifies the emotional charge of each performance.
Surprises continue to define their journey. One standout moment came when a Russian fan shared that Synapsyche’s music helped him endure life on the front lines. Another surreal milestone: collaborating with Chris Harms of Lord of the Lost on their track “The Last Dying Flame”—a dream come true for two artists who revere his voice.
The future of Synapsyche is already unfolding. With the single “Deafness” now out—the first chapter of a conceptual trilogy called The Miscommunication—Marco is already crafting the next narrative, one that promises harsher sonics and deeper exploration. Though tight-lipped on the full concept, he hints it will reflect society’s collapsing dialogue.
Dream collaborations still float on their horizon: Till Lindemann of Rammstein and Dave Gahan of Depeche Mode. The idea of mixing their low, commanding voices with Marco’s higher register is a tantalizing thought.
As technology reshapes music, Synapsyche embraces the digital wave. Always experimenting with new sounds, effects, and production techniques, they remain adaptable—even if adulthood outside the band makes it harder to keep pace. But in a world driven by progress, their genre gives them a unique advantage.
Looking ahead to 2025, the trio of Miscommunication singles will set the tone, with videos accompanying each release. Beyond that, they’ll plunge into the writing of their fifth full-length album—no details yet, but world domination is always a quiet goal, even if the cost of touring makes it a challenge.
Ultimately, Synapsyche doesn’t aim to reinvent the wheel—they aim to leave a fingerprint on it. If someone, somewhere, remembers their music as a lifeline, a catharsis, or simply as art that resonated, they’ve done their job. Marco puts it best: “To make art is nothing but to create something from nothing that conveys emotions to others… Long live Synapsyche!”
Prepare your neural pathways for full overload — Italian industrial duo Synapsyche brings their unfiltered energy, brutal honesty, and electronic chaos to EVOL Radio in a brand-new exclusive interview premiering April 20, 2025 on EvolRadio.com.
From the project’s raw beginnings to its genre-fusing evolution under the Alfa Matrix label, the interview explores Synapsyche’s unique soundscape—where aggrotech aggression collides with synthpop hooks and dystopian visions.
Marco Mantovani and Luca Sassi take us on a mind-bending journey across the past, present, and future of their musical and personal lives—diving into songwriting mechanics, lyrical psychology, cyberpunk philosophy, and what’s next for the duo as they push boundaries in both studio and stage realms.

Free Download Single Marks Triumphant Rebirth After Over a Decade of Silence
The beast has awakened. After more than ten years of silence and two decades since her genre-defining debut The Failure Epiphany, Erica Dunham resurfaces with a bold, emotional declaration: 🎧 “Coming Up To Breathe” — available now as a free download via Alfa Matrix’s Bandcamp and streaming on all major platforms.
💥 A Statement of Survival
This isn’t just a track—it’s a resurrection. “Coming Up To Breathe” is the sound of UNTER NULL reclaiming her place, not just in the dark electronic scene, but in the world.
“This song marks the end of a long period of reflection,” says Dunham. “It’s about reclaiming my voice, stepping into a new chapter, and unlocking the full energy of UNTER NULL once again.”
Carrying echoes of vulnerability and triumph, the track pulses with the intensity of an artist reborn—fueled by time, perspective, and a sharpened sonic edge.
🔥 What’s Next for UNTER NULL
With a brand-new live band, fresh collaborations, and massive plans for 2025, Erica Dunham is fully reactivated and ready to carve new scars into the underground.
This free single is just the beginning. Consider it the first breath before the storm.
Kicking off March with explosive energy, Faderhead delivered a sold-out show in Oberhausen, Germany—where fans got a surprise taste of a brand-new track: “This Is Not The End.” Despite never having heard it before, the crowd went off.
The official music video will be filmed this Saturday in Hamburg, where the team hopes for an equally electric audience. The single is scheduled to drop mid-May, just in time to crank momentum before Wave-Gotik-Treffen.
💿 FH20 Album in the Works
In last month’s Patreon studio stream, Faderhead teased plans for a brand-new full-length album in early March 2026.
Why now? 2026 marks 20 years since the release of Faderhead’s debut album “FH1”, and what better way to celebrate than with an “FH20” release.
After a string of singles in 2024, it’s time for something more immersive. Faderhead is back in album mode.
🎛️ 1-Hour Rave Mix: Not Your Typical FH Vibe
March’s 1-hour Patreon-exclusive mix takes a rave-forward detour. Less darkwave, more full-on energy.
It’s rhythmic, pulsing, and designed to attract new listeners—so if you’re into high-octane beats, give it a spin.

💪 Mindset Hacks: Fuck Your Excuses, Use Microbursts Instead
Q1 is over. Are your New Year’s resolutions collecting dust? Let’s fix that.
We all make excuses—life’s busy, motivation’s low, the timing’s never right. But if you wait for perfect conditions, you’ll stay stuck forever.
⏱️ Microbursts: The 10-Minute Fix
Instead of aiming for a perfect hour-long work sprint, start with 5–15 minutes of focused action. Set a timer. Do one task. When it dings, you’re done. Or keep going.
That’s the magic of microbursts—small momentum snowballs fast.
🗓️ Temporal Landmarks: Hit Reset on Command
Want a clean slate? Use temporal landmarks like Mondays, birthdays, or the 1st of the month to mentally reset. Pick a hard start date and commit. No waiting for motivation. Just move.
🧠 Perfection Is a Lie. Progress Is Power
You don’t need the perfect hour or the perfect energy. You need movement. Start with one push-up. One sentence. One small win.
Because motion beats perfection every time.
🚀 Take the Shot
Next time you’re tempted to delay: Say “fuck that.” Set a timer. Start something.
Back in the early 2000s, the industrial scene was on fire—chaotic, raw, and unapologetically loud. It was in that searing crucible that Unter Null was forged, the brainchild of an artist straddling classical music training and a deep fascination with sonic destruction. Raised on piano, cello, and choir, she’d been composing her own pieces since childhood. But it was the visceral aggression of powernoise and industrial that gripped her soul. The controlled chaos was intoxicating, a vehicle to exorcise emotions that polite concert halls could never contain.
Armed with Cubase and a Yamaha CS2X, she began sculpting the project that would become Unter Null—a collision of elegance and entropy, beauty and brutality.
The name itself—Unter Null, German for “below zero”—emerged as a tongue-in-cheek jab at her own self-esteem. A way to wear vulnerability like armor. “I struggled a lot growing up,” she admits. “It wasn’t some profound branding decision. It was just honest.” But over time, that phrase became more than a label; it became a mantra for transmutation—of pain into power, of failure into fuel.
Albums like The Failure Epiphany and Moving On are brutal emotional snapshots, soaked in the toxic residue of broken relationships and internalized shame. “I didn’t have a grasp on boundaries back then,” she reflects. The Failure Epiphany captured that spiral of self-doubt. But Moving On marked a shift—an album born of personal reckoning and emotional liberation. That record was nearly lost in a studio fire, and only the salvaged hard drives kept it from being incinerated. “That near-loss felt symbolic,” she says. “It mirrored the themes of survival woven through the music.”
While Unter Null remained her aggressive outlet, a new project emerged when a quieter pain needed expression. That project—Stray—was born during a particularly dark period. “The first song I wrote, ‘Does It Really Matter?,’ just didn’t fit with Unter Null,” she says. “It came from a place of vulnerability and empathy rather than rage.” Stray became the space for her softer introspections, standing in contrast to Unter Null’s sonic fury.
Through it all, music remained her emotional life raft. “I’ve never been great at expressing myself any other way,” she says. “Writing has always been instinctive—like a direct channel.” But she’s quick to acknowledge that even music can’t do all the heavy lifting. “It’s not a substitute for taking care of your mental health. You have to consciously work on that too.”
🎶 Listen Now:
After a period of creative dormancy, the embers were reignited through a long-overdue collaboration. Enter Hollow—a joint effort with Frontal Boundary that resurrected something vital in her. “It felt like we had just hit ‘pause’ and pressed ‘play’ again,” she says of reuniting with Brendin Ross, Krz Souls, and Jaysen Craves. Their synergy was electric, natural, and deeply satisfying. “It reminded me how essential it is to have inspiring, creative people in your circle.”
The track Hollow is a lyrical deep-dive into the psyche of damaged individuals unaware of their own brokenness. “Krz and I wrote it together. It’s about how unhealed trauma can ripple out and wound others,” she explains. Sonically, it blends weight and melody, aggression and emotion—a hallmark of both projects. “That contrast is what makes it work.”
Though she’s returned to the scene, she admits the landscape has changed dramatically. “When I first started, everything was different—especially the connection with fans,” she says. “Social media has reshaped everything.” But through that evolution, she’s found a deeper appreciation for her long-time supporters. “Seeing their excitement about my return has been so moving. I do this for them.”
The experience of releasing music in 2025 is far removed from the gritty underground scene she came up in. “There’s more competition now, but that’s not a bad thing,” she insists. “More people creating music means more voices being heard.” Even the sense of community has shifted. “It doesn’t feel so cutthroat anymore. Artists are lifting each other up, and it’s refreshing.”
With Hollow generating buzz, fans are already eager for more. A special SoCal show on May 26th with SITD will feature both Unter Null and Frontal Boundary, including a live performance of Hollow and a preview of new Unter Null material.
She’s also gearing up to release a brand-new single, Coming Up To Breathe, via Alfa Matrix Records on April 4th. “Unter Null is back in full swing,” she confirms. “Stray will follow, but I try to keep the two separate so they each get the space they deserve.”
Creatively, she’s steering Unter Null in a new direction—one marked by self-empowerment rather than self-destruction. “There’s still darkness, but now it’s about resilience and growth,” she says. Collaborations are fueling that shift, with upcoming projects involving Dawn of Ashes and remix work with Funker Vogt. “It’s exciting to see how each artist brings something unique to the table.”
And what does she want fans to take from all of it?
“I’m back. The sound might be different, more refined—but the core is still there,” she says. “Don’t ever let anyone take away your autonomy or make you feel like you’re not good enough. Stay true to yourself. Always.”
Brace yourself for a descent into digital decay and emotional warfare. UNTER NULL, the infamous aggrotech/industrial force forged in fire and feedback, joins EVOL Radio for a live interview that cuts deep into the circuitry of creation, collapse, and rebirth. 🖤
🎙️ From raw sonic brutality to the quiet spaces between chaos, Erica Dunham opens up about the return of Unter Null, the future of harsh electronics, and the ghosts that still whisper behind the beats.
From May 8th to 10th, 2025, the city’s legendary Astra Kulturhaus becomes ground zero for a three-day descent into the depths of darkness, noise, and ritual rhythm: the Out Of Line Weekender 2025 – Dark’n’Electro Edition.

Dark, divine, and unapologetically unholy—SinThya steps out of the shadow and into the fire with “Not Marilyn Manson, But Definitely Antichrist.”
This isn’t cosplay. This is crucifixion couture. A twisted sermon of self-worship. A soundtrack for the damned.
Channeling industrial menace, glitchy glam, and snarling femininity, SinThya doesn’t aim to shock—he aims to ascend. This is not an echo of past provocateurs; it’s a fresh gospel carved into neon flesh. Think glitch-pop at a black mass. Think lips on the blade. Think sacred rage.
Unfiltered. Unrepentant. Unholy. She isn’t your savior—she’s your reckoning.

On December 1st, 2023, the highly anticipated album ‘Blue-Devilled’ by MILDREDA was unleashed via Dependent Records. This marked a significant moment for fans eagerly awaiting the fusion of dark dance and hard electro that defines MILDREDA’s unique musical style. The release garnered immediate attention, securing the prestigious #1 ranking in the soundcheck review section of Sonic Seducer, a leading German magazine.
In conjunction with the album, MILDREDA delighted their audience with a visually captivating black-and-white video for “Devil’s Gaze.” Jan Dewulf, the band’s leader and mastermind, shared insights into the creative process, stating, “My aim was to craft a club track while staying true to the dark electro sound that defines us.” This commitment to artistic integrity has been a hallmark of MILDREDA’s approach.
Hailing from Belgium, MILDREDA made a notable debut with the album “I Was Never There” in 2021, establishing themselves as a force in the electro music scene. The release of ‘Blue-Devilled’ solidifies their position and showcases the evolution and refinement of their sound. The album is not only available on all major streaming platforms but also as a limited 60-page artbook CD edition, complete with a bonus CD, courtesy of Dependent Records in Germany.
The album’s success reflects not only the band’s musical prowess but also their ability to connect with a diverse audience. MILDREDA’s commitment to delivering a rich and authentic dark electro experience is evident in every track, making ‘Blue-Devilled’ a standout addition to their discography. As the year draws to a close, the album serves as a testament to MILDREDA’s continued innovation and contribution to the electro music landscape.
CZARINA, is more than a musician; she’s a multifaceted artist who paints her sonic and visual landscapes with unmatched creativity. Born in the Philippines and now based in Spain, her music defies easy categorization, blending symphonic dark electro, neo-pagan mysticism, gothic prog rock, darkwave, synthpop, and more. CZARINA’s work is a tapestry woven from animist mysticism, folklore, mythology, metaphysics, and gothic themes, creating a sound and visual experience that transcends genres.
Her journey into music wasn’t a typical one. She began as a young performer and Broadway enthusiast, but her passion later shifted towards dark alternative rock and industrial music. However, she temporarily paused her musical pursuits to build a successful career in fashion, leading her own company. Yet, the relentless ambition and eventual burnout made her realize that something vital was missing – her music. CZARINA made a life-altering decision to reignite her musical path five years ago, drawing from the rich tapestry of life experiences and perspectives she had accumulated.
The name “CZARINA” echoes her past endeavors in building “empires” and her transformative journey towards higher principles and grounded pursuits. It’s a name that carries a sense of regality, much like her shared birthday with the legendary artist Prince.
What sets CZARINA apart is her refusal to fit neatly into any musical box. Her latest record, “Arcana,” defies categorization, blending electronic and organic elements with ancient and modern sounds. Her compositions incorporate intricate rhythms, harmonic layering between orchestral and electronic instruments, and her powerful vocals. CZARINA’s music captivates with its authenticity and complexity, defying easy classification.
Her creative process is deeply influenced by her surroundings. Moving from the bustling New York City to the mystical landscapes of Galicia, Spain, profoundly impacted her sound. The ethereal beauty of the Costa Da Morte, where her house sits by the water, seeped into her music, especially on her album “Arcana.” Her music became a vessel for capturing the magic of her newfound home.
CZARINA’s artistic journey has had its challenges, but she’s learned that success in music doesn’t always follow a predictable path. It’s not a matter of being the best; it’s about finding the right audience and developing a dedicated following. Authenticity doesn’t need to compete; it resonates with those who connect with it.
Beyond her music, CZARINA believes in the metaphysical power of sound. Music is a healer, and she views her favorite artists as magicians and alchemists who know how to harness sound for profound experiences and healing. Frequencies and vibrations can dismantle the walls we build within ourselves and bring about transformation.
CZARINA is not just a vocalist; she’s a multi-instrumentalist, playing the piano/keys, synths, and guitars. Each instrument contributes uniquely to her music, whether it’s the piano as her primary composing tool or the guitar adding a distinct voice to her compositions.
She draws inspiration from artists like Tool, whose intricate rhythms and sound designs have influenced her approach. Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails and Bjork also inspire her to push creative boundaries while staying true to her own vision.
Her songs are open to interpretation, often holding multiple meanings and layers. For instance, “Wonderland” celebrates the magic of Galicia but also serves as a metaphor for the sacred wonder within all our lives, a reminder of the healing power of music.
Despite the challenges of a music career, CZARINA finds the most rewarding aspect in creating art that aligns with her vision and values. It’s about making something deeply personal and genuine. However, the music industry’s landscape is challenging, and artists often struggle to make a living. CZARINA believes in the power of authenticity and hopes for solutions to help independent artists thrive.
She actively supports causes that protect nature, the ocean, and wildlife, such as the Sea Shepherds. Nature and the environment hold a special place in her heart, and she advocates for their preservation.
Looking ahead, CZARINA aspires to tour the world and continue pushing her creative boundaries. Her music will evolve and progress, reaching more listeners and hearts.
In the coming months, she has exciting projects, including a cover song and music video, an epic music film for “The Fox’s Wedding,” and work on her third record, slated for release in 2024.
