Makes My Blood Dance Announce USA, UK, and Ireland Tour Supporting Debut Album

Electro-goth fused with disco-metal, New York’s Makes My Blood Dance gear up to intensify stages stateside and across the Atlantic.

New York-based Makes My Blood Dance have dropped their debut full-length #Z3R0 2 LGHT $P33D! via Metropolis Records in early June. The album, now available on CD and digital, with vinyl due before their upcoming tour, marks a formidable statement from the electro-goth and disco-metal hybrid act.

Extending the Outbreak: Tour, Sound, and Impact

After completing a robust U.S. run alongside Powerman 5000 and 12 Stones, followed by support dates with Mickey Avalon, Makes My Blood Dance return in late July to headline their own shows. Mid-August sees them rejoining Powerman 5000 before they launch their UK and Ireland debut as support to Genitorturers in September. Their live reputation for transforming venues into kinetic industrial rock discos underlines their commitment to bridging nightclub energy with metal grit.

#Z3R0 2 LGHT $P33D! propels jagged guitars and pulsating synths into a frenetic collision, layering operatic vocal dynamics against bass-heavy foundations fit for both club and arena contexts. Tracks like an industrial funk reimagining of Macy Gray’s “Lately” — featuring Gray herself — alongside “Heavy Metal Armour,” “Time And A Place,” “Your Little Hand In Mine,” and “Black Summer,” have already together accumulated over two million streams and views, underpinning the album’s momentum.

⚙️ 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.

🔥 Angelo D Lights the Void with New Release “Promethean” 💀

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

The title itself nods to the myth of Prometheus—the titan who stole fire from the gods—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 generation—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.
🔥 Don’t just hear it—feel it burn.
