Industrial darkwave innovators FIX8:SED8 have released the Octagram (Deluxe Edition), giving fans an expanded and enhanced journey into their signature sound. This deluxe edition offers reimagined tracks, exclusive remixes, and bonus material that deepens the immersive, haunting atmospheres fans have come to expect from the project.
The album continues to explore the shadows between noise, rhythm, and emotion, merging pulsating electronic textures with darkly melodic elements, creating a soundscape both mesmerizing and menacing.
Dark electro visionary Sapphira Vee has just unveiled her upcoming release, Unfolding, a deeply personal and atmospheric exploration set to captivate listeners across the darkwave and industrial spectrum. The announcement marks a new era for the artist, known for weaving ethereal melodies, brooding electronics, and raw emotional power into immersive soundscapes.
🌑 A New Chapter in Sound and Spirit
“Unfolding” promises to dive deep into themes of self-discovery, resilience, and metamorphosis — a reflection on emerging from chaos and reclaiming strength. With lush textures, haunting vocals, and cinematic production, this release is shaping up to be one of Sapphira Vee’s most evocative works to date.
Fans can expect the signature fusion of dark electronic atmospheres and emotive storytelling that have defined her sound and earned her a loyal following across the global underground scene.
The pulse of the underground just got louder — ULTRA SUNN return with their electrifying new single, The Beast In You, now available across all platforms. The track strikes with the signature blend of darkwave, EBM, and post-punk energy that has made the Brussels duo one of the most commanding forces in modern electronic music.
The Beast In You prowls through the depths of human emotion — confronting the duality within us all. It’s a sonic exploration of instinct, fear, and control, set to throbbing basslines, haunting synths, and hypnotic vocals. This is ULTRA SUNN at their most visceral and cinematic, balancing aggression and elegance in a perfectly controlled storm of sound.
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.
The ever-enchanting Azam Ali has officially unveiled her latest sonic journey — Synesthesia, arriving soon via COP International Records. This upcoming release promises a mesmerizing fusion of transcendent vocals, ambient textures, and deeply immersive electronic soundscapes that only Azam can conjure.
Known for her haunting voice and cinematic sound design, Ali continues to redefine the boundaries of modern world electronica, weaving emotional resonance with sonic experimentation. Synesthesia invites listeners into a multi-sensory dreamworld where sound, color, and emotion intertwine in perfect harmony.
Electro-industrial duo KLACK has surprised fans with a brand-new live release, In Case You Didn’t Feel Like Staying Up (Live), captured during their electrifying performance at the Cold Waves XIII afterparty last Saturday.
🎶 A Night Worth Reliving
KLACK’s set at the Chicago festival afterparty showcased their trademark retro-future EBM stomp, synth grit, and dancefloor nostalgia, fueling an already unforgettable weekend for the industrial community. The duo recorded the performance in full and decided to release it for fans—whether you were there moshing in the crowd or tuning in from afar, now you can relive the moment.
🔥 The Cold Waves Legacy
Now in its thirteenth year, Cold Waves has become one of the most vital gatherings for industrial, post-punk, and electronic music fans worldwide. KLACK’s afterparty performance cemented their role as one of the scene’s most exciting modern acts bridging classic body music with fresh, forward-looking energy. This live release feels like both a celebration of the festival’s legacy and a testament to KLACK’s ever-growing reputation.
🤝 Music with Purpose
KLACK isn’t just about beats—they’re about community. To that end, all profits from the release this weekend will be donated to DARKEST BEFORE DAWN, a nonprofit charity that supports nightlife, hospitality, and music industry workers through mental health services and crisis aid. By picking up the album, fans can experience the raw electricity of the show while directly supporting a cause tied to the music community.
UK electronic powerhouse Simon Carter has officially dropped his brand-new album Outliers, with pre-orders live now and the full release set for October 3rd, 2025. Dropping just in time for Bandcamp Friday, this release is already turning heads in the global industrial and electronic scene.
🎶 From Singles to Sonic Uprising
After the high-voltage singles “Pain & Pleasure” and “Dusk Till Dawn” lit up dark clubs and playlists worldwide, Carter now presents the full-length Outliers—a record engineered for dancefloor dominance. Expect a relentless journey through heavy low-end, neon-lit atmospheres, and pulse-pounding rhythm designed to make bodies move.
🌀 The Sound of Outliers
Carter’s latest is a fusion of Techno, Dark Electro, Industrial Bass, and Cyberpunk energy, shot through with flashes of his signature Trance and Futurepop elements. The result is an album that feels equally at home in underground raves, cyberpunk soundtracks, and the high-voltage chaos of the modern industrial scene.
Simon Carter states:
“Outliers is about capturing those who exist outside the norm—people, ideas, and music that disrupt the cycle. It’s built for connection, release, and catharsis on the dancefloor.”
Dawn of Ashes are raising the stakes for their loyal followers with the announcement of an exclusive VIP Bundle for their Los Angeles performance on January 24th, 2026, now live on Bandcamp.
🔥 A Night of Chaos in Los Angeles
Known for their savage blend of industrial, blackened metal, and cinematic horror, Dawn of Ashes promise a night of pure ritualistic mayhem when they descend upon Los Angeles in early 2026. The VIP Bundle ensures fans can experience this unholy spectacle like never before.
💎 What to Expect from the VIP Bundle
While details of the full package remain shrouded in mystery (as all great nightmares should be), fans can expect:
Premium access to the January 24th show in Los Angeles
Exclusive merch items crafted specifically for the VIP bundle
A personalized experience connecting die-hards closer to the band’s apocalyptic vision
This isn’t just another ticket—it’s an initiation into the heart of Dawn of Ashes’ darkness.
🩸 The Dawn of Ashes Legacy
Since their formation, Dawn of Ashes have carved their name deep into the industrial and extreme metal underground, delivering devastating albums and notorious live shows that blur the line between performance and ritual. With the VIP Bundle, the band is giving their most devoted fans a chance to be part of that ritual on an even more intimate level.
Philadelphia’s industrial sludge metal insurgents WORST ONES have returned with a brutal new single and video, Deny Reality—a sonic assault that cuts through willful ignorance with venom, distortion, and uncompromising heaviness.
⚡ Claustrophobic & Hypnotic Sound Deny Reality channels the bleak pulse of Godflesh, the twisted hooks of Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson, and the sample-driven chaos of Skinny Puppy. Built on relentless electronic percussion and skittering hi-hats that slice through layers of noise loops, the track morphs shredded guitars into inhuman fragments. A towering chorus rises above the chaos, before a crushing breakdown drags the listener into sludge-drenched oblivion.
💀 Lyrical Warfare Against Ignorance At its core, Deny Reality confronts the culture of willful blindness that has metastasized into complicity. With lyrics like “Cast out your empathy, behold your tragedy” and “My nightmares are dreams, you deny reality,” the track attacks the toxic refusal to see truth—an ignorance that sustains violence and accelerates collapse. It’s not an escape—it’s the very engine of destruction.
🔥 Noise as Resistance The track will also appear on Abolish ICE, a Philadelphia-based compilation featuring 16 local metal, hardcore, and punk bands—including Trunk, L.M.I., Sunrot, Boozewa, SOJI, Detox Meds, and Get Well. Copies are available in exchange for donations to Juntos, a community-led Latine immigrant rights organization. With this, WORST ONES transform their sound into protest—turning distortion into direct action, and noise into a weapon of resistance.
🎛️ Behind the Sound Deny Reality was written and recorded by Drew Ew and Doppelganga, mixed and mastered by Jared Birdseye, with visuals directed by WORST ONES and Luz Sanchez. Promo photography by Luz Sanchez, live photography by Vinny Barreras, cover and logo design by Drew Ew (with “deathmetallogo” by Darren Adcock).
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.”
Arizona’s extreme metal juggernaut SOULFLY is back with fire in their veins, releasing the crushing new single “Nihilist” alongside a visually searing music video. The track, which features Todd Jones of NAILS, is the latest glimpse into the band’s upcoming thirteenth album CHAMA, set to arrive October 24th, 2025 via Nuclear Blast Records.
🎶 Raw Aggression, Tribal Fury
“Nihilist” embodies everything fans love about Soulfly—tribal grooves, bludgeoning riffs, and unapologetic ferocity—while pushing their legacy forward. Produced by Zyon Cavalera, the song is a generational collaboration that sharpens Soulfly’s sonic blade with modern intensity.
Directed by Costin Chioreanu, the video was filmed in Bulgaria and drenched in apocalyptic imagery that perfectly matches the track’s brutal energy. Watch here.
Max Cavalera explains:
“My lyrics are inspired by LG of Entombed and Nihilist. He left this earth in 2021 and was always a big influence on me. This is one of the heaviest songs on the record, and I love that Todd Jones came in and delivered the hardest line on the record: ‘I don’t believe in anything!’”
Guitarist Mike De Leon adds:
“From the depths of the deepest tribes, we bring you the new Soulfly. This being my first official video ever with the guys is a complete honor. Crank it up and start the living room mosh pits!”
Recorded at Platinum Underground Studio in Mesa, AZ, CHAMA was produced by Zyon Cavalera and Arthur Rizk (who also mixed and mastered the record). The album reunites the Cavalera clan—Max, Zyon, and Igor Amadeus Cavalera (Go Ahead & Die, Nailbomb, Healing Magic)—with guitarist Mike De Leon. Special appearances include Dino Cazares (Fear Factory) and Todd Jones (Nails).

Canadian industrial/electronic duo Antigen Shift return with their brand-new release Superheavy Particle, unleashed today through Artoffact Records.
Led by Nick Thériault and Jairus Khan, Antigen Shift carve out their signature sound—an electrifying hybrid of industrial noise, dark EBM, and cinematic textures. Superheavy Particle is one of their most ambitious works to date, fusing tense atmospheres, glitch-laced rhythms, and distorted electronics into a sonic force that is both visceral and immersive.
A recent teaser offers a glimpse of the album’s soundscape, showcasing Antigen Shift’s ability to balance chaos and control with masterful precision.
Formed in the early 2000s, Antigen Shift began as Thériault’s solo project before Khan joined, transforming the act into a formidable duo. Over two decades, they’ve released material on labels like Ad Noiseam, Frozen Empire Media, and Spectre, steadily building a reputation for fearless experimentation.
In 2024, Antigen Shift signed with Artoffact Records, bringing their back catalog under the label’s wing. Since then, they’ve reissued classic albums like Brotherhood and dropped powerful new singles including “Because I Want,” further cementing their place in the global industrial/electronic underground.
Known for their thunderous live sets, Antigen Shift has performed at international festivals such as Machinenfest, Kinetik, and Convergence, where they translate studio complexity into ferocious, floor-shaking energy.
Together, Thériault and Khan embody a relentless drive to push the boundaries of electronic music—merging aggression, emotion, and innovation into every release.
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).
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.
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.

Two underground heavyweights — Daniel McCullough of Silver Walks and Athan Maroulis of NØIR — have joined forces for a chilling reinterpretation of Cyberaktif’s legendary Wax Trax! classic “Nothing Stays.” This haunting cover marks the first new material from either project in quite some time, and it’s every bit as dark, layered, and timely as you’d hope.
🕸 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.
Athan Maroulis tracked vocals in New York City.
Valentina Veil (VV & The Void) added ethereal backing vocals from Berlin.
Daniel McCullough programmed the music in Lancaster, PA.
