βš”οΈ AVENGER OF BLOOD Return to the Frontlines with β€œRevenge Is My Name” and a New Era of Thrash πŸ’€

Once forged in the fires of the Bay Area thrash scene, AVENGER OF BLOOD has spent the past two decades carving a path of pure sonic devastation. After relocating to Las Vegas following a pair of raw and furious demos, the band scored a deal with JCM Records, unleashing their 2005 debut Complete Annihilationβ€”a scorched-earth statement that quickly earned them global underground recognition.

From there, AVENGER OF BLOOD hit the metal circuit hard, storming festivals like Minneapolis Mayhem, Monsters of Metal, and Northwest Deathfest, and landing a coveted spot on the legendary Speed Kills… Again compilation alongside rising acts like Warbringer, Toxic Holocaust, and Enforcerβ€”a release that helped ignite the modern thrash resurgence.

Their momentum built to a crescendo with the 2008 full-length Death Brigade, issued via Heavy Artillery Records and featuring blistering artwork by the iconic Joe Petagno (MotΓΆrhead, Krisiun, Sodom). But the machine hit a snag when founding frontman Eric Greaney and bassist Shawn Loureiro departed, briefly stalling the band’s upward trajectory.

Undeterred, co-founders Shannon Frye and Marc Flores pressed forward, rebuilding the ranks and keeping the flame alive with releases like the Spawn of Evil EP (2012), a split 7” with Witchaven, and the raging On Slaying Ground LP (2016).

Now locked and loaded with their most solid lineup to dateβ€”featuring Sal Lalli on vocals, Chris Garcia on guitar, and Corey Sorrenti on bassβ€”AVENGER OF BLOOD is officially back with sharpened teeth and a vendetta to match.

Last year, the band revisited their roots by re-recording their debut as Completely Re-Annihilated, bringing fresh blood to classic cuts and hitting the stage at Blades of Steel Fest alongside legends like Flotsam & Jetsam, Exciter, Vio-lence, and Jag Panzer. They also supported Death Angel and Ruthless on select shows in California and Nevada, signaling their official return to the live battlefield.

Their upcoming full-length Revenge Is My Name is now in the works, with a 2026 release plannedβ€”and the band has already begun to unveil what’s next through unrelenting live performances.

The blood is still fresh. The riffs are still lethal. And AVENGER OF BLOOD is here to remind you that thrash never diesβ€”it just gets louder.

πŸ•³ Room 23 Music Releases β€œUnder Your Skin” by CN^2 & Mel Agony β€” A Dark Descent into Sonic Intimacy πŸ’€

Room 23 Music has just unveiled β€œUnder Your Skin”—a brooding new collaboration between CN^2 (the introspective alias of Cubic Nomad) and the hauntingly evocative Mel Agony. This single-track release isn’t here to get stuck in your headβ€”it’s here to burrow under your skin, where it belongs.

A slow-burning elegy dripping in melancholic mood, β€œUnder Your Skin” lives in the tension between trip hop unease and dark ambient erosion. Fractured rhythms stumble beneath ghost-like vocals, with Mel Agony’s voice floating like a sorrowful memory you can’t quite shake. The result is a minimalist fever dreamβ€”sensual, unsettling, and utterly captivating.

A poisoned lullaby for lovers of the void.

Elegantly restrained and emotionally raw, β€œUnder Your Skin” captures the fragile line between detachment and desire, where every breath feels like it’s echoing from the bottom of an abandoned cathedral. It’s not just a songβ€”it’s a feeling left behind in a room long after the light’s gone out.

πŸ›Έ LOCKJAW Emerges from the Shadows with New Single β€œWe Are Alien” πŸ’€

Milwaukee’s own industrial insurgents LOCKJAW have dropped a fierce new transmission from the edge of the dark dance dimension: β€œWe Are Alien”, self-released on February 18 and already shaking the speakers of the underground.

A slow-burning banger laced with dystopian dread and rhythmic defiance, β€œWe Are Alien” plunges deep into themes of social isolation, identity, and equalityβ€”a brooding anthem for those who’ve never fit the mold and never wanted to.

With a sonic blend that hovers somewhere between electro-industrial, darkwave, and EBM, the track offers gritty synth textures, distorted basslines, and vocals that bite with both sorrow and fire. It’s a direct message from the margins: We are alien… and we are not alone.

LOCKJAW isn’t new to the abyss. They’ve shared stages with the likes of Marilyn Manson and Powerman 5000, carving their name into the alt-industrial underground with brutal honesty and dancefloor menace. β€œWe Are Alien” solidifies their place as Midwest torchbearers for dark sonic rebellion.

πŸ‘οΈ For the outcasts, the overlooked, the overchargedβ€”this one’s for you.

Shadow Pulse: Top 5 Stories Shaping the Dark, Alt & Dance Underground in 2025 πŸ’€

Top 5 Stories in Dark/Alternative Dance Culture

The dark and alternative dance music scenes have recently witnessed several notable developments, from new album releases to significant shifts in nightlife culture. Here are the top five stories making waves:​

1. Zeds Dead Returns with ‘Return to the Spectrum of Intergalactic Happiness’

After nearly a decade since their debut album “Northern Lights,” Canadian electronic duo Zeds Dead has unveiled their sophomore effort, “Return to the Spectrum of Intergalactic Happiness.” Known for their genre-blending productions and dynamic live performances, the duo attributes the delay to extensive touring and various projects. The new album aims to offer listeners a cohesive experience reminiscent of classic albums. ​The Sun

2. Rebecca Black’s ‘Salvation’ Embraces Club Culture

Rebecca Black has released her new album “Salvation,” marking a significant evolution in her musical journey. Described as pure pop designed for the club scene, the album reflects Black’s personal growth and resonates with her predominantly queer fanbase. Drawing inspiration from 2000s pop and electro music, “Salvation” showcases Black’s commitment to creating vibrant and danceable tracks. ​InStyle

3. LOCKJAW Releases New Single ‘We Are Alien’

Milwaukee-based band LOCKJAW has unveiled their latest single, “We Are Alien,” self-released on February 18. The track delves into feelings of alienation in contemporary society, emphasizing themes of equality. Known for their dark musical style, LOCKJAW has previously supported acts like Marilyn Manson and Powerman 5000, solidifying their presence in the alternative dance scene. ​Shepherd Express

4. Raze.D Debuts with ‘Angry Silhouette’

Veteran DJ D.Ramirez has introduced his new alter ego, Raze.D, alongside the album “Angry Silhouette.” Influenced by the 1980s Sheffield music scene and bands like Depeche Mode and Human League, the album explores themes of technology, self-worth, and social media addiction. Tracks such as “Coming For You” and “Push The Fader” blend cold wave, alt-rock, and synth elements, reflecting Raze.D’s authentic artistic vision. ​The Irish Sun

5. Decline in Late-Night Clubbing

A global trend of declining late-night clubbing is impacting nightlife capitals from Berlin to New York. Factors contributing to this shift include cost pressures, decreased enthusiasm among Generation Z, the rise of music festivals, and stricter post-pandemic licensing regulations. Data indicates a reduction in club nights extending beyond 3 a.m., with daytime and early evening parties gaining popularity among health-conscious millennials and Gen Z. Despite these changes, the electronic music industry experienced a 17% revenue increase in 2023, highlighting a continued desire for communal musical experiences. ​

🌌 DVNE Announces Full European Tour in Support of β€œVoidkind” πŸ’€

Cosmic riff architects DVNE have announced a full-scale European tour this May, bringing their interstellar new album Voidkind to stages across the continent.

🦠 Cattle Decapitation Announces Massive European Summer Tour for 2025 πŸ’€

Europe, prepare for extinction-level intensity. Cattle Decapitation, the undisputed kings of eco-apocalypse deathgrind, have just announced their triumphant return to European stages for Summer 2025. The tour includes a punishing mix of headlining club shows and high-profile festival appearancesβ€”some long overdue, some completely unhinged.

Frontman Travis Ryan comments:

β€œIt’s been too long since we hit the June fest circuit in Europe. This run finally brings us to fan-demanded fests like Download, Copenhell, and Graspop, plus long-absent stops like Nummirock, Mystic Festival, and Rock Imperium. We can’t wait to see you in the pitβ€”or under it.”

This tour marks the continued fallout of their acclaimed album Terrasite, a sonic detonation that cemented their place atop extreme metal’s food chain. Expect songs from that recordβ€”and enough aural violence to make the Earth bleed.

⚑ FIRSTBORNE Ignites a New Era with M-Theory Audio and Blazing New Single β€œWake Up” πŸ’€

Brace yourselfβ€”FIRSTBORNE, the hard rock and heavy metal juggernaut featuring some of the genre’s heaviest hitters, has officially joined the ranks of M-Theory Audio. To celebrate, the band has dropped a blistering new single and music video, β€œWake Up,” now streaming for those brave enough to hit play.

πŸŽ₯ Watch β€œWake Up” now
Directed by Drew Kaufman (Two Minutes to Late Night), the video blends thunderous riffs with tongue-in-cheek flair, giving fans a dose of FIRSTBORNE’s signature mix of shred, swagger, and self-awareness.

FIRSTBORNE isn’t just a supergroupβ€”they’re a full-throttle collision of talent and tone. Featuring legendary drummer Chris Adler (Lamb of God, Megadeth), guitar hero Myrone (yes, the soft shred pioneer himself), and powerhouse vocalist Girish Pradhan (Girish and the Chronicles, The End Machine), the band fuses classic metal roots with modern energy, soaring hooks, and surgical-level precision.

Formed in 2019, FIRSTBORNE made early waves with a series of independently released EPs and singles from 2020–2023, blending melodic mastery with enough groove to shake tectonic plates. Now they’re leveling up with their first full-length album Lucky, produced by the one and only Machine (Clutch, King Crimson, Crobot)β€”and due out July 18th via M-Theory Audio.

πŸ›’ Pre-order Lucky now on limited-edition colored vinyl, CD, or digital.

Guitarist Myrone offers a glimpse into the creative chaos:

β€œWhen Chris, Girish, and I finally got in a room together, it was a dream. We wrote everything in real-time at Machine’s barn in Texas. I came in with 150 songs… and we used zero. What you hear was born right there, right then.”

Between Adler’s iconic rhythm work, Myrone’s neon-shred precision, and Pradhan’s genre-defining vocals, FIRSTBORNE is an electrified fist to the face of the modern metal sceneβ€”built for stages, playlists, and repeat button abuse.

🌌 KARDASHEV Plants the β€œSeed of the Night” with New Single & Video from Upcoming Album β€œAlunea” πŸ’€

Progressive deathgaze voyagers KARDASHEV have released their stunning new single β€œSeed of the Night”—a beautifully heavy piece of cosmic philosophy wrapped in melodic breakdowns and emotional gravity. The track arrives ahead of the band’s next full-length transmission, Alunea, set to drop April 25th via Metal Blade Records.

πŸŽ₯ Watch the β€œSeed of the Night” video now

🌱 Of Myth, Meaning & Melody

The single’s title might suggest fantasyβ€”but β€œSeed of the Night” is pure Kardashev: deeply human, painfully introspective, and spiritually celestial.

β€œThis is Sky-Brother explaining to a newly born beingβ€”Atlasβ€”that they were created to carry humanity’s legacy to a place our species could never reach,” explains vocalist Mark Garrett. β€œThat burden shapes them, and in that weight, they find purpose… and pain.”

Musically, the band trades tired deathcore chugs for what they call the β€œfunk-down”—a melodically rich, rhythmically diverse evolution of the breakdown. Think space opera meets math rock meets soul-punching post-metal.

β€œWe wanted to deconstruct the β€˜epic moment’ trope,” adds guitarist Nico Mirolla, β€œand build an entire song that earns it through patience and progressionβ€”not just brute force.”

πŸ’Ώ Alunea Drops April 25th via Metal Blade Records

A direct sequel to The Almanac, Alunea continues Kardashev’s mythos with intricate lore, introspective lyricism, and sonic world-building. The album features:

  • Guest vocals from Erin (Genital Shame) on β€œSpeak Silence”
  • Ethereal duduk instrumentation by Pawel JJ Przybysz on β€œWe Could Fold The Stars”
  • Artwork by Karl E.
  • Mixed/mastered by Zack Ohren (Entheos, Machine Head, Fallujah)

The album also incorporates constructed language (β€œconlang”) created by Garrett, adding new linguistic and cultural layers to the story of Atlas and Sky-Brother.

β€œI used to make up grammar rules while working at a call center,” Garrett admits. β€œEventually, that evolved into a language that became part of this universe we’re building.”

  • CD & Digital
  • Vinyl Variants:

βš”οΈ HATE Wages β€œBellum Regiis” Upon the Masses This May via Metal Blade Records πŸ’€

Polish blackened death metal war machine HATE has just declared their thirteenth full-length record Bellum Regiis will land with full force on May 2nd via Metal Blade Recordsβ€”and it’s coming for blood, bone, and belief systems.

πŸŽ₯ The first strike? β€œIphigenia.”
Watch it here

With nearly three decades of sonic devastation behind them, HATE isn’t resting on their corpse-pile of accolades. Bellum Regiis (“The War of Kings”) channels a new era of calculated aggressionβ€”icy, atmospheric, and epically brutal. Think tectonic riffs, scarred vocals, orchestral whispers, and drums that don’t just blastβ€”they detonate.

Produced by David Castillo (Candlemass, Carcass, Katatonia), this nine-track juggernaut sees ATF Sinner, Domin, Nar-Sil, and Tiermes dissecting the nature of power, sacrifice, and the scars etched into human history by kings, tyrants, and blind obedience.

πŸ’€ From Iphigenia to Inferi: Themes That Bleed

Lead single β€œIphigenia” draws from Greek tragedyβ€”a tale of ritual sacrifice, choice, and fate, drenched in betrayal and divine pressure.

β€œIs it monstrous to offer your child to the gods?” asks Sinner.
β€œOr is it divine to willingly die for your people?”

This is the kind of existential devastation that HATE thrives in.

Meanwhile, the album’s title track explores the eternal struggle for powerβ€”its seduction, its cost, and its scars. Female vocals from Eliza Sacharczuk and sweeping orchestration add haunted grandeur, while black metal elements cut through with sharpened precision.

  2. Iphigenia

The future trembles under pressureβ€”FiXT has just released the single edit of β€œHumanarchy,” a high-voltage collaboration between Circle of Dust and Celldweller.

This isn’t just a trackβ€”it’s a digital revolt. β€œHumanarchy” fuses razor-edged cybermetal with glitch-ridden industrial textures, embodying a dystopian cry for autonomy in a world buried under wires and obedience. The sonic chemistry between these two genre-defining forces creates a hybrid that’s both cinematic and savage.

🩸KING810 release K6: Rustbelt Nu Metal β€” A Monument Forged in Fire πŸ’€

It’s done. K6: Rustbelt Nu Metal is in the canβ€”and what happened inside that room was nothing short of legendary.

What was captured can’t be measured: not in decibels, not in hours, not in tracks.
It was raw devotion, feral love, and total surrender to the moment.
A monument was built in soundβ€”and you were the mortar.
Every scream, every voiceβ€”your voicesβ€”now live inside this record.

🩸 Even the careless mind will never forget what happened here.

To our crew: your planning and execution made this impossible thing breathe.
To you, our FAMILYβ€”whether you were in the room or pre-ordering from the shadowsβ€”this belongs to all of us.

We’ll reunite in June 2025 for K7 and build the next chapter. But until then, K6 is now in the hands of the mix and master engineers. It’s coming. Soon.

πŸ’‰ DAWN OF ASHES Declares War on the Pulse with β€œHypertensive Crisis” πŸ’€

Los Angeles’ purveyors of industrial terror DAWN OF ASHES return with a new high-pressure dose of mechanized aggression: Hypertensive Crisis. This latest sonic assault marks a new chapter in the band’s legacy of apocalyptic audio warfareβ€”where harsh electronics, blackened metal, and dystopian rage collide under a biohazard moon.

πŸ’€ This is not music. This is vital collapse.
Listen to Hypertensive Crisis here

Following the wake of 2022’s Scars of the Broken and 2023’s experimental deep cuts, Hypertensive Crisis finds Kristof Bathory and crew doubling down on chaotic BPMs, clinical distortion, and lyrical themes that bleed paranoia, medical horror, and psychic overload. Think surgical steel sharpened in a rave dungeonβ€”frenzied, hypnotic, and violently cathartic.

⚠️ Sound Like Your Heart’s Exploding? Good.

From cyber-hospital aesthetics to BPMs that mimic cardiac arrest, Hypertensive Crisis is the sound of systems failingβ€”on a personal, societal, and biological level. Fans of Psyclon Nine, Suicide Commando, and the raw early days of DOA will feel the pulse… or the lack of one.

The tracklisting and visuals for the release remain under wraps, but if the teaser campaign is any indication, this era will be DOA’s most volatile yet.

πŸŒ‘ Vβ–²LHβ–²LL Conjures the End Times with New Album β€œSkymningsdjur” πŸ’€

Out April 4, 2025 via Artoffact Records

The veil is thinning. The twilight beasts are stirring.
Swedish duo Vβ–²LHβ–²LL returns from the shadows with their long-awaited full-length album Skymningsdjur, arriving April 4, 2025 via Artoffact Records.

An evolutionary leap into sonic darkness, Skymningsdjur is the band’s first full-length release since 2021’s NEVERSLEEPβ€”a cult classic in the witch house underground. This new offering plunges even deeper into spectral atmospheres, ritual electronics, and minimalist dread, fusing elements of neofolk, grave wave, and ritualistic witch house into a singular storm of apocalyptic beauty.

πŸ“¦ Media and press received early access via Haulix on March 10. Reviews and rituals are now being summoned.

πŸ•― The Singles That Summoned the Storm

Over the past year, Vβ–²LHβ–²LL have offered glimpses of their dark evolution through a series of haunting singles:

  • β€œNocturnal Eyes” (April 2024): A spectral dirge that lingered like dream residue
  • β€œLittle Noises” (June 2024): Sparse, creeping minimalism that whispered in static
  • β€œHunger” (August 2024): Brooding and guttural, pulsing with ritual dread
  • β€œCalling for Storms” (Current single): The incantation before collapse

Each release served as a cryptic breadcrumbβ€”leading us to this moment.
If Skymningsdjur signals the end of days, then Vβ–²LHβ–²LL are the ones calling it down from the sky.

πŸ”₯ AVERSED Unleash β€œBurn” Video Amid the Chaos of New Album β€˜Erasure of Color’ πŸ’€

From the shadow-soaked corners of New England’s metal underground, AVERSED returns with Erasure of Color, a brutal and elegant firestorm of Gothic-laced melodic death metalβ€”now out everywhere on digital and physical formats. To mark the occasion, the band has premiered a brand-new video for the track β€œBurn,” capturing the raw intensity of their live ritual in full flame.

Filmed in their home venueβ€”The Middle East in Cambridge, MAβ€”the video is pure adrenaline, fusing pit-swirling madness with visceral camera work and the band’s crushing stage presence.

β€œWe unleashed our videographers into the crowd to brave the pit and capture the energy,” says guitarist Sungwoo Jeong. β€œThey survivedβ€”and we’re glad we captured that amazing show for all eternity.”

But β€œBurn” isn’t just a pit anthemβ€”it’s a multi-dimensional beast.

β€œIt started as a big-stage anthem,” says drummer Jeff Saltzman. β€œThen we added a rumba-clave section, a bass solo, and lyrics about violent class revolution. Not exactly your standard metal bangerβ€”but that’s what defines AVERSED.”

βš™οΈ About the Album: Erasure of Color

Released independently with support from Bandcamp, indie retailers, and limited physical editionsβ€”including 300 smoked-colored vinyl and 100 cassette copiesβ€”Erasure of Color is a monumental statement of intent. The album is a tempest of progressive death metal, gothic melody, and extreme emotional depth.

β€œThis isn’t just another album; it’s a rebirth… a powerful exploration of grief, fueled by melodic death metal.” – Decibel
β€œThink the bounce of mid-career The Agonist with the haunting widescreen talents of Oceans of Slumber.” – New Noise

Featuring artwork from Adam Burke (Unto Others, Gatecreeper) and orchestral arrangements by Vikram Shankar (Redemption, Silent Skies), the album was produced by bassist Alden Marchand and guitarist Sungwoo Jeong, with mixing by AJ Viana (Wormhole) and mastering by Brad Boatright (Code Orange, Obituary).

πŸ•³ PSYCLON NINE Descends Into Darkness with Eighth Studio Album β€œAnd Then Oblivion” πŸ’€

Twenty-five years into their reign, PSYCLON NINE have returned to the abyss with a vengeance. Their latest full-length offering, And Then Oblivion, out March 21, 2025 via Metropolis Records, is a genre-defying sonic invocationβ€”a twisted ritual that fuses blackened industrial, deathcore, ambient, trap, and metal into something altogether untamed and unclean.

Helmed by longtime visionary Nero Bellum, the album shatters expectation with tracks like β€œCRWLNG FRM CNT T CSKT” and β€œI Choose Violence,” merging visceral textures with apocalyptic production and spine-splintering vocals. Bellum explains,

β€œI specifically set out to break as many genre limitations as possible, while staying true to the concepts and imagery Psyclon Nine evokes.”

Critics across the globe are already losing their minds over it:

🩸 “Doesn’t just cross boundaries – it tears them down…” – Sonic Seducer (DE)
🩸 “Black metal vocals matched with trap and glitch… blastbeats and atmospherics to die for.” – Metal Digest (UK)
🩸 “Creepy and awesome… nursery rhymes forged in hell.” – Jace Media (UK)
🩸 “Suspenseful, sinister, genre-bending.” – Tempelores (NL)

βš™οΈ Tracklisting – β€œAnd Then Oblivion”

  1. DEVIL’S WORK
  2. I CHOOSE VIOLENCE
  3. SHOOT TO KILL
  4. CRWLNG FRM CNT T CSKT
  5. LOCUST OF EVERYTHING
  6. SPEAK EVIL
  7. SAY YOUR PRAYERS

  10. [Hidden Track]

The visual world of And Then Oblivion is just as intense. The official music video for β€œCRWLNG FRM CNT T CSKT” arrives 24 hours after the album’s global release, promising a brutal, cinematic descent into the core of PSYCLON NINE’s blackened psyche.

πŸ”₯ Angelo D Lights the Void with New Release β€œPromethean” πŸ’€

Rising from the digital ash with a torch in hand, Angelo D has dropped his latest sonic incantation: Prometheanβ€”a burning tribute to resilience, rebellion, and raw industrial fire.

The title itself nods to the myth of Prometheusβ€”the titan who stole fire from the godsβ€”and this release carries that same outlaw energy. Promethean doesn’t ask for permission. It takes. With layers of scorched synths, thunderous percussion, and a post-apocalyptic heartbeat, Angelo D channels a brutal, cyber-spiritual force that feels ancient and futuristic all at once.

Each track pulses like a war drum for the wired generationβ€”inviting listeners into a shadow realm where defiance becomes ritual. Whether you’re marching through neon ruins or meditating in chaos, this is the soundtrack to your inner uprising.

Promethean is now available across all major platforms.

Industrial chaos. Sonic rebirth. Collective fury.
Outer Darkness Records returns to the void with β€œInquisition Vol. II: The Scorn,” the latest chapter in its searing compilation seriesβ€”dropping April 4th, 2025.

Following the scorched-earth reception of Vol. I in 2024, β€œThe Scorn” digs deeper into the raw circuitry of industrial, dark pop, and synth-laced aggression.

Every track bleeds with intent, each artist pushing genre boundaries and blurring the edges between beauty and brutality.

This time around we’re expanding our roster to include Asphodel Ivory and Fatigue, while also bringing new tracks from some familiar faces.”
β€” Patrick Brooks, Outer Darkness Records

βš™οΈ pixelgrinder Electrifies with Cybernetic Industrial Anthem β€œAdvanced Bionics” πŸ’₯

πŸ’€ From Silence to Surge: pixelgrinder’s new single β€œAdvanced Bionics” isn’t just industrial technoβ€”it’s a resurrection.

Crafted from the ashes of deafness and rebuilt with the fire of machinery, β€œAdvanced Bionics (pixelgrinder Theme)” is a raw, explosive soundtrack of rebirth. After enduring the isolating silence of hearing loss, pixelgrinder underwent a life-altering cochlear implant procedureβ€”one that didn’t just restore his hearing, but reprogrammed his perception of sound itself. What emerged? A bionic mind, hellbent on sonic warfare.

β€œAdvanced Bionics” slams open with thunderous precisionβ€”no soft intro, no easing in. It’s an all-out assault: pounding beats, metallic textures, and frenetic pulses collide in a dystopian symphony of power. The production is both visceral and cerebral, designed to make your bones vibrate and your mind spiral.

At its core lies a spoken-word monologueβ€”intimate, defiant, and riddled with subliminal undercurrents. This isn’t just music; it’s memory reconfigured. The track functions like a digital diary, exposing pixelgrinder’s journey from muted existence to cybernetic resurrection.

The message is clear: you cannot silence the future.
This track screams for anyone who’s ever been ignored, underestimated, or shut out. β€œAdvanced Bionics” is a manifestoβ€”one forged in pain, rebuilt in code, and unleashed in rhythm.

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 shockβ€”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.

SINthetik Messiah: Glitching the System with Industrial Code and Audio Assault

In the shadows of genre and expectation, SINthetik Messiah emerges like a signal from a corrupted frequencyβ€”an industrial renegade with a sound that defies boundaries. Bug Gigabyte, the mind behind the machine, doesn’t just make musicβ€”he sculpts high-definition noise into immersive sonic experiences. Describing the project is like trying to map a fever dream. It’s equal parts distorted beauty, emotional vulnerability, and cybernetic grit. Whether you find yourself spiraling through one of his ambient soundscapes or caught in the chaos of a drum & bass break, there’s a feeling that every track is aliveβ€”shifting, evolving, and never quite the same.

This sonic shapeshifter doesn’t organize his music by time, but by vibe. On his Bandcamp, styles flow like wavesβ€”from the latest release downward into a crescendo of genres. Each body of work builds on the last, like levels in a dystopian tower constructed from metal, emotion, and memory.

Raised on a musical diet of Nine Inch Nails, The Prodigy, and the smoky, compressed soul of Portishead, Bug’s early tastes paved a road into the depths of industrial and electronic experimentation. His journey began in middle school band class, with a trumpet in hand, and was further fueled by the underground rave scene where he cut his teeth at fifteen. Music wasn’t a sudden revelationβ€”it was a slow burn into obsession.

Emotion fuels everything. His songs are stormy vessels, translating invisible feelings into tangible frequencies. Every track starts with a purposeβ€”guided by BPMs drawn from DJ culture, then layered with mood, rhythm, and vision. After crafting the skeleton of a song, he always steps back, recharges, then returns to inject life into the sound. This meticulous process is the reason there are multiple albumsβ€”and even a bookβ€”on the horizon.

Distortion is the heartbeat of SINthetik Messiah. Whether subtle or savage, every track is soaked in it. Gear doesn’t define the projectβ€”creativity does. Bug has used everything from professional DAWs to Nintendo DS consoles. One standout release, Revelations of the Nintendo Generation, was crafted entirely with a DS and stands as a badge of fearless ingenuity. His production philosophy? β€œAny machine can make industrial music if you smash it hard enough.”

Film, television, and video games feed his imagination. Sci-fi, cyberpunk, horrorβ€”all of it bleeds into the thematic DNA of his sound. It’s not just musicβ€”it’s a world unto itself. The Vatican might be a spacefaring empire in his conceptual universe, but that’s just the surface. His critique of religion is nuanced, never gimmicky. He rejects the tired goth tropes of shock-value imagery and instead focuses on authentic storytelling through music and visual art.

Live shows are as unpredictable as the man himself. His sets shift depending on the venue and lineupβ€”metal shows get guitar-heavy chaos, while electronic crowds get dancefloor-ready beats. No two performances are the same. And if he doesn’t play your favorite song? That’s okay. Catch him next time. He promises it’ll be different.

What keeps him going isn’t accolades or praise from childhood idolsβ€”it’s the real, raw messages from fans who say his music made them feel seen, heard, healed. That impact means more than anything else. β€œSad boy vibes” aside, Bug’s sense of humor and humility keep his connection to fans deeply grounded.

He’s collaborated across the scene, from remix artists to professional engineers who elevate his mixes into sonic clarity. These collaborations are creative therapy, and they offer brief escapes from long-term projects. Right now, two new albums are in progress: one instrumental, blending industrial with trip-hop, and another slower, vocal-driven work steeped in old-school electro. He’s even attaching a book to one of them. Grammy dreams? Absolutely. One track is already headed for submission, and 2025 might just be the year the world takes notice.

As for the future, touring internationally is the dream. Once the world settles down, SINthetik Messiah plans to take his universe globalβ€”two tours per year across continents, bringing his growing discography to life onstage.

Until then, he remains in the labβ€”creating, distorting, and waiting for the next wave of noise to rise.

MARES OF THRACE Unleash Ferocious New Single β€œAnticipatory Grief” Ahead of New Album The Loss

Canadian sludge-noise duo Mares of Thrace are back with another crushing chapter in their journey through sorrow and sonic chaos. Their latest single, β€œAnticipatory Grief,” is out now, offering a raw and relentless preview of their upcoming full-length record The Loss, due out May 16 via Artoffact Records.

Listen to “Anticipatory Grief”

The third track to emerge from The Loss, β€œAnticipatory Grief” erupts with an ominous guitar riff that spirals into crushing distortion. ThΓ©rΓ¨se Lanz delivers a feral vocal performance that feels like a cathartic exorcism, while drummer Casey Rodgers smashes forward with thunderous precision. Together, they create a suffocating wall of sound steeped in dread, anxiety, and inevitability.

Lanz explains the meaning behind the song:

β€œThe songs on The Loss follow the sequence of Elisabeth KΓΌbler-Ross’ famous stages of grief, but in my reading I found descriptions of very specific flavors of grief that often go unacknowledgedβ€”bonus grief, if you will. Anticipatory Grief is the pain of watching loss creep slowly toward you, knowing it’s coming, and feeling helpless in that long descent.”

Following their previous release, Complicated Grief, this new single continues the band’s emotional excavation through the psychological terrain of mourning and survival. Gritty, visceral, and unapologetically dark, β€œAnticipatory Grief” is more than a songβ€”it’s a confrontation with pain.

Pre-order The Loss now via Bandcamp

🎧 Stream “Anticipatory Grief”

πŸ’Ώ About The Loss

Produced by Scott Evans (Sumac, Sleep, Yautja), The Loss is the band’s fourth full-length and most personal release to date. A thematic reflection on the complex stages of grief, each track dives deeper into human vulnerability and strength. It’s an unflinching gaze into mortality, transformation, and the universality of emotional wreckage.

πŸ”₯ About Mares of Thrace

Formed in Canada, Mares of Thrace fuse sludge, doom, noise rock, and hardcore into a pulverizing sound that defies easy categorization. Frontwoman ThΓ©rΓ¨se Lanz (hailed as β€œan unrivalled monster of a frontperson” by Exclaim!), and drummer Casey Rodgers (also known for stepping in for Gene Hoglan in Zimmer’s Hole) bring a devastating presence to both stage and studio.

After re-emerging in 2022 with The Exile, the band toured extensively across North America and Europe with heavyweights like Conan, Bell Witch, and KEN mode, all while earning critical acclaim. Now signed to Artoffact Records (Kaelan Mikla, GGGOLDDD), their upcoming album marks their most ambitious evolution yet.

πŸ”₯ ONI Drops Haunting New Ballad “Shouldn’t Feel This Way” + Tour With Pop Evil This Spring πŸ’€

Canadian alt-metal trailblazer ONI has returned with a soul-piercing new single, “Shouldn’t Feel This Way,” a powerful acoustic ballad that peels back the distortion to reveal raw emotion and heartbreak. Out now on all platforms, the track marks a distinct shift in tone for ONIβ€”showcasing a softer, more vulnerable side of project founder Jake Oni.

πŸ“ Stream “Shouldn’t Feel This Way”: Click Here

πŸ’¬ Reflecting on the song, Oni shares:

“‘Shouldn’t Feel This Way’ is about mourning the loss of someone really close to you, and the constant struggle in life to live without feeling lost and alone… It isn’t like anything I have released before. I got to shoot the video on my farm in Canada which is a very important place for me.”

Co-written with John Boecklin, Seth Evans, and Kile Odell, the track follows the recent cover of The Kooks’ “Naive” and ONI’s emotionally charged Genesis EP, setting the stage for a dynamic and deeply personal year in the band’s evolution.

πŸ”₯ About ONI

Formed in 2014, ONI has carved out a unique space in metal with his fusion of progressive songwriting, crushing metalcore, and melodic hooks. From his debut Ironshore (2016) to the powerful sophomore effort Loathing Light (2022) featuring Iggy Pop and Randy Blythe, to the genre-defying The Silver Line (2023) with collabs including Howard Jones and Sueco, Jake Oni has proven he’s one of the scene’s most versatile and ambitious voices.

The Genesis EP (2025) continues that upward trajectory with singles like “Deja Vu,” “Walk Away,” and “Erase” leading the charge.
