Alfa Matrix, Cutting Edge Culture Updates, New Music Release

🎧🎶 New Music Alert: METROLAND, SYNAPSYCHE, and ELEKTROSTAUB Unleash New EPs! 🎧

Get ready for a triple dose of electronic goodness as METROLAND, SYNAPSYCHE, and ELEKTROSTAUB drop their latest EPs, each offering a unique sonic journey!

METROLAND – Reset EP

With “Reset,” Belgian conceptual techno-pop duo METROLAND delivers the fourth and final EP from their well-received album Forum. Inspired by the controversial World Economic Forum initiative, The Great Reset, this digital release marks not just the end of an EP cycle, but the culmination of METROLAND’s sonic exploration of global industrial evolution.

Anchored in critical reflection and forward-thinking beats, “Reset” offers two new versions of the original track: the compact yet dynamic “The Smaller Reset,” and its expansive, club-ready counterpart “The Greater Reset”—both infused with increased tempo and dancefloor energy. Adding further depth, the exclusive non-album track “Improving the State of the World” blends pop sensibility with pointed commentary, echoing the WEF’s aspirational slogans while inviting listeners to consider the implications of global decision-making. “Reset” is more than just a release—it is the final destination in METROLAND’s conceptual journey, closing the loop that began with “0” and reached its climax in “Forum.” The system is shutting down… ready for a reset?

SYNAPSYCHE – Muteness EP

After the sonic shockwave of “Deafness,” SYNAPSYCHE raises the stakes with “Muteness”—the second piece in their three-part concept around “Miscommunication,” dissecting the fear of self-expression in a world that rewards silence over truth. Some people never speak up. They sit on the sidelines, afraid to take a stand, blending into the background to maintain their fragile social acceptance. But silence is complicity. And SYNAPSYCHE is here to shatter the quiet with a firestorm of brutal beats, razor-sharp synths, and vocals that swing between venomous growls, electrifying clean hooks, and even a touch of rap-infused aggression. This explosive EP is backed by a dark-pop rework of FLEETWOOD MAC’s “Little Lies” and a ruthless remix of “Anti Manifesto” by STATIK SEKT—two reinventions that push the band’s boundaries even further. No more hiding. No more hesitation. Shut your muteness up and scream with SYNAPSYCHE!

ELEKTROSTAUB – Falling EP

ELEKTROSTAUB is back with “Falling”—an irresistible future pop anthem destined to ignite dancefloors. For this striking new single, mastermind Patrick Knoch teams up with none other than synthpop icon Pal Magnus Rybom of ECHO IMAGE. The result is pure electropop magic—an instant classic where sharp production meets soaring melodies! Serving as a first taste of the forthcoming album Humility, this 7-track EP doesn’t stop at just one hit. It also features “Too Far From The Pack,” a high-energy collaboration with Salva Maine (CULTURE KULTÜR), oozing club potential and emotional impact. The EP comes packed with a powerful selection of remixes by fellow Alfa Matrix artists: IMPLANT, NEUROACTIVE, 808 DOT POP, DARKNESS ON DEMAND, and remix maestro PEOPLE THEATRE—each offering a unique twist on ELEKTROSTAUB’s signature sound. With “Falling,” ELEKTROSTAUB reaffirms his knack for blending sleek production with the perfect guest vocalist. This is premium-grade future pop – emotional, melodic, and made to move you.

Cutting Edge Culture Updates, New Music Release, Outer Darkness Records

🌑🔗 Dilemma Unveils Haunting “The Gift (that Keeps on Giving)” + Pixelgrinder & The Anix Remixes! Out Today via Outer Darkness Records! 🎧🖤

Dilemma, the darkly captivating project forged in the shadows by producer Alex Elias, is releasing its most emotionally resonant single to date, “The Gift (that Keeps on Giving),” today, May 14th, 2025, via Outer Darkness Records. This intensely brooding track plunges listeners into a soundscape that is both exquisitely tormented and deeply personal, serving as a melancholic reflection on the visceral realities of enduring chronic pain.

“The Gift (that Keeps on Giving)” exists in the liminal space between a gothic lament and an industrial outpouring, drawing its power from the profound wellspring of emotional and physical struggle. The lyrics possess a sharp, almost painful beauty, cutting through the sonic darkness like shards of glass beneath a shattered moonlit sky. The poignant line, “and those moments of reprieve, fleeting but pristine, I treasure them as true gift without irony,” lies at the heart of the track’s ironically titled name, encapsulating its bittersweet and deeply human message.

This already powerful single is further amplified by the inclusion of two compelling remixes, each offering a unique perspective on Dilemma’s haunting original:

Pixelgrinder, a formidable force also residing within the Outer Darkness Records stable, injects his signature cybernetic precision into the track, crafting a grinding and deliciously relentless reinterpretation that will resonate with fans of intricate electronic sequencing.

Brandon Smith, the electronic rock visionary behind The Anix and a 20-year veteran of the industry, contributes a masterclass in melancholic extraction. He artfully distills the original’s sorrowful waves, juxtaposing them with an elegy of solemnity and fragile hope, creating a beautifully nuanced sonic tapestry.

“The Gift (that Keeps on Giving)” masterfully showcases Dilemma’s ability to seamlessly blend brooding vulnerability with moments of industrial aggression, offering a cathartic release for anyone who understands the often-invisible battles fought against chronic pain, whether experienced firsthand or witnessed in a loved one.

For media inquiries regarding playlist placement, blog features, or interviews, please direct your correspondence to MGMT.DilemmaIndustrial@Protonmail.com.

For those who crave the darker frequencies and the unsettling beauty found within them, this release promises a descent into captivating sonic landscapes.

⚙️🔗 LOCKJAW Re-Engineers Garbage Classic “Vow” with Ramirez & Pillar! Set to Detonate May 23rd! 🎧🖤

Prepare for a sonic recalibration! The enigmatic project LOCKJAW is gearing up to unleash their electrifying cover of Garbage’s iconic track “Vow” on Friday, May 23rd, 2025. This isn’t just a simple rendition; LOCKJAW is tearing down the original and rebuilding it with their own signature industrial-tinged intensity. Adding extra voltage to this sonic experiment are two familiar faces from the scene: the formidable Jose Ramirez (formerly of LOCKJAW) on guitars, and the powerhouse Ken Pillar (known for his work with Project 44, WORM, and Apocalypse Theater) on drums.

While details surrounding LOCKJAW remain somewhat shrouded in digital mist, their reputation for crafting hard-hitting, technologically infused soundscapes precedes them. This cover of “Vow” promises to be no exception, likely injecting the original’s raw energy with a layer of metallic grit and electronic precision. The involvement of Jose Ramirez, a former architect of LOCKJAW’s sonic identity, adds an intriguing layer of continuity and perhaps a nod to the project’s past.

Ken Pillar, a name synonymous with thunderous and intricate drumming in the industrial and alternative metal underground, further elevates the anticipation for this release. His powerful rhythms and dynamic style are sure to provide a solid and driving backbone to LOCKJAW’s interpretation of the Garbage classic. The collaboration between these seasoned musicians hints at a cover that will not only pay homage to the original but also carve its own distinct sonic territory.

Garbage’s “Vow,” released in 1995 as their debut single, was a groundbreaking track that blended alternative rock with electronic textures and Shirley Manson’s distinctive vocals. Its raw emotion and powerful delivery cemented Garbage’s place in the mid-90s music landscape. LOCKJAW’s decision to tackle such an influential song suggests a bold and potentially transformative reimagining.

The anticipation for LOCKJAW’s “Vow” cover is building within the industrial and alternative music communities. The combination of LOCKJAW’s sonic aesthetic, the return of Jose Ramirez on guitar, and the percussive force of Ken Pillar on drums makes this a highly anticipated release for fans of both the original track and the darker, more electronic edges of alternative music. Mark your digital calendars for Friday, May 23rd, and prepare for a sonic collision of past and present.

Stay locked onto your digital feeds for the imminent release of LOCKJAW’s cover of “Vow.” This promises to be a potent injection of industrial energy into a beloved alternative anthem.

Keep your circuits open for LOCKJAW’s “Vow” on May 23rd!

Metropolis Records and Zanias Join Forces to Unleash Chrysalis, an Electrifying Journey of Genre-Defying Art Pop!

Metropolis Records is Proud to Welcome ZANIAS
Metropolis Records has partnered with Fleisch Records to release the new album Chrysalis in North and South America.

Since 2014, Zanias has existed as the unrepentant creative venture of Alison Lewis, born in Australia, raised in Southeast Asia, and also known for her vocal work with Linea Aspera, Keluar and a record shelf’s worth of collaborations with the likes of Black Rain, Ancient Methods, Dax J, I Hate Models and Infravision.

As the sole custodian of Fleisch Records she spent many years attuning herself to Berlin dancefloors through the timely collision of techno and electronic body music, but her true passion is for understanding the modality of emotions through songwriting. Sound is her psycho-spiritual catharsis and philosophical exploration of existence, expressed through an intense vocal performance, evocative melodies and heavy rhythmic components.
With this signature structure she seeks to reinvent her own brand of ethereal pop: atmospheric, multi-layered and as alien as it is authentically, vulnerably human.

The creation of ‘Chrysalis’ was a retreat from a seemingly endless string of unfortunate events, a cocoon from which Zanias could weave hope from hopelessness. In each of its eight songs she has engineered unique worlds to express alternate facets of the modern human experience, from burnout and the toxicity of capitalism to processing death and the inherent isolation of personal trauma.

Written and recorded between Berlin and the rainforest of Queensland, Australia, the sound design of ‘Chrysalis’ reflects the rich biodiversity of the latter environment, where she drew much of her inspiration. Her voice shifts and morphs into ghostly, alien forms between catchy hooks that plant this album firmly in the ‘pop’ genre, without losing the underground rawness and lyrical depth for which she is known.

With her third full-length album, Chrysalis, Zanias is expressing her truest form thus far, fusing her seemingly discordant influences into a genre-defying electronic art pop, as dark and evocative as it is ethereal and uplifting.

Igniting Transformation Through Aggrotech and Industrial Sounds

In 2006, an electrifying moment took place when our interviewee witnessed Hocico perform live in Tijuana. From that moment on, Her passion for the aggressive and angst-ridden sounds of Aggrotech and Industrial music was ignited. It was a turning point that set them on a path towards Her musical career.

Her name is inspired by Kentaro Miura’s dark horror comic, “Berserk,” and as such, her project carries a unique essence;
A manifestation of the suppressed aggression and anguish that exists within the world, providing an outlet for expression and release.

The creative process for Barbieserk involves a constant evolution, with a cognizance on frequencies, she has honed her skills and been inspired by fellow DJs.

Through this creative process, Barbieserk channels emotions, environments, and personal moments into the music, creating an immersive experience for dancers.

Her journey has not been without challenges though;
Public scrutiny and the need to address inexcusable public behavior from a former member of the collective presented a difficult hurdle. Yet, our Barbieserk stood firm, recognizing the importance of integrity and maintaining a respectful approach.
Lessons were learned, and the commitment to upholding moral values remained steadfast.

For Barbieserk, the ultimate reward lies in seeing even a single person actively enjoying her music.

Journey into the Melancholic Abyss: Discover DELREI’s Haunting Post-Nuclear Soundscapes

1 Comment

In the realm of music, there are certain compositions that transcend time and space, evoking emotions and painting vivid landscapes in our minds. Alessandro Mercanzin, an Italian musician known as DELREI, has masterfully crafted such an auditory experience with his debut album, “Desolation and Radiation.” This wordless vision of a lost world from the future captivates listeners with its melancholy tones, taking them on a hypnotic journey through an inhospitable post-nuclear desert.

Within the haunting melodies of “Desolation and Radiation,” Mercanzin weaves together a tapestry of musical elements. The shadowy twang of electric guitars, the dusty spectral melodies, the driving orchestral timpani, and the rustic sounds of instruments like banjo, harmonica, and mouth harp all contribute to the orchestration of this mythic western of the future. It is a sonic landscape that embraces solitude, cold haunted nights, and lonely red vistas, leaving the listener with a sense of somber personal reflection.

Reflecting on his creative process, Alex explains, “To me, ‘Desolation and Radiation’ represents a melancholic portrayal of lost dreams in a future world. With a ghostly sound echoing in my mind, I sought to convey dark and intriguing riffs, realizing that I could speak volumes with just a few whispered notes from my guitars. Each song on this album paints a dramatic scene, transporting me to a reverb-drenched wasteland in a parallel universe.”

Delrei Tracklisting:

  1. Solitario
  2. Into the Wasteland
  3. Nowhere to Ride
  4. Ensenada
  5. Far from Here
  6. Get Lost Blues
  7. Lonely Night
  8. Dusk
  9. Country
  10. Mysterious Traveler
  11. Daydream

Assisting Mercanzin in shaping this musical opus is producer Maurizio Baggio, known for his work with artists like Soft Moon, Boy Harsher, and Nuovo Testamento. Together, they explore various genres, incorporating influences from Giallo-pulp and the evocative scores that have shaped Mercanzin’s musical evolution. While they tease, avoid, and embrace the clichés of Italian Spaghetti Westerns, their adventurous sound emerges from a rich tapestry of guitars, vintage instruments, reverbs, and the traditional Sicilian harp known as the marranzanu. Maurizio’s vintage synths and old 60s organs add depth and texture to the compositions, while Michele Tedesco’s haunting trumpets in “Nowhere to Ride” and Stefano Miozzo’s pedal steel guitar in “Far from Here” provide additional layers of musicality.

Beyond the immersive sonic experience, “Desolation and Radiation” carries a veiled message—a cautionary tale that urges us to learn from the mistakes of the past to prevent a terrifying future. It serves as a reminder that our actions in the present have the power to shape the trajectory of our world.

Projekt Records, known for its dedication to innovative and thought-provoking music, proudly welcomes DELREI and their debut album. “Desolation and Radiation” is available as a Name-Your-Price title on Bandcamp, allowing listeners to support the artist while immersing themselves in this captivating musical journey.
