The Browning have officially announced Burn This World [EVOLVED], a reengineered and weaponized evolution of one of their most defining tracks. This isn’t a simple remix or reissue—it’s a full-scale reconstruction designed to hit harder, move faster, and reflect just how far the band’s cyber-metal assault has progressed.
Known for fusing extreme metal brutality with relentless electronic programming, The Browning use [EVOLVED] as both a statement and a warning. The track revisits familiar foundations while amplifying everything—heavier drops, sharper synth architecture, and a modernized sonic core built for today’s dystopian landscape. It’s the sound of a band refusing stagnation, constantly rewriting their own rulebook.
“Burn This World [EVOLVED]” stands as proof that The Browning are not content to live in past victories. Instead, they continue to adapt, mutate, and push their hybrid sound into more aggressive and future-forward territory—where metal, electronics, and chaos collide at full force.
This evolution isn’t about nostalgia. It’s about dominance.
Industrial discipline meets unrelenting force as one of the genre’s architects strikes again.
⚙️ A New Release Forged in Steel
Dependent has officially released “Will nicht – MUSS! / On Collision Course” by DIE KRUPPS, delivering a dual-track statement rooted in precision, power, and confrontation. This release reinforces the band’s legacy of merging mechanical rhythm with militant intent—no excess, no retreat.
🔥 Collision Is Inevitable
From the defiant German-language command of “Will nicht – MUSS!” to the forward-driving pressure of “On Collision Course,” DIE KRUPPS sound focused, hardened, and unapologetic. These tracks feel engineered for impact—march-ready electronics, rigid structure, and an undercurrent of resistance that refuses to yield.

Rob Zombie returns from the cinematic shadows with a vicious new single, “Heathen Days,” the latest blast of Hellbilly venom from his forthcoming album The Great Satan, arriving February 27th via Nuclear Blast Records. The master of shock-horror rock is back—and he’s kicking the doors off 2026 with a sound that drips gasoline, grime, and chaos.
A Hellbilly Resurrection 🔥🩸
“Heathen Days” drags listeners straight into Zombie’s old-school furnace—grinding riffs, sleazy groove, and that unmistakable devil-on-the-mic snarl. Directed by Zombie himself, the music video is a filthy, psychedelic nightmare ripped straight from the brain of a man who’s spent decades blurring the line between cinema and carnage.
Following the Top 10 success of The Lunar Injection Kool Aid Eclipse Conspiracy (2021), Zombie now shifts back into the Hellbilly gear that made him a household name among the dark, the damned, and the gloriously unhinged.
The Great Satan marks his 8th studio album—a punk-infused, heavy-rock, blood-spattered carnival that promises to be his most feral offering in years. Fans can expect signature freak-show chaos across tracks like “Tarantula,” “(I’m a) Rock ‘N’ Roller,” and the already-viral single “Punks and Demons.”
With over 15 million albums sold, nine feature films, and a legacy soaked in grindhouse aesthetics and savage creativity, Rob Zombie remains one of the most successful crossover artists in rock history. From White Zombie to Hellbilly Deluxe to The Devil’s Rejects, he has carved out a universe that’s equal parts carnival, corpse pile, and comic book fever dream.
2026 marks a full return to form—louder, weirder, nastier, and unmistakably Zombie.
In a ruthless sonic onslaught, Suicide Queen’s newest album “Crowned in Blood” pushes every boundary of their industrial-metal hybrid, delivering raw emotion sharpened to a blade.
The Reckoning Arrives
Los Angeles-based Suicide Queen unleash “Crowned in Blood” via COP International. SIDE-LINE+1 The album follows their debut Nymphomaniac and arrives as a full-length, 11-track release packed with ferocity. SIDE-LINE Frontwoman Kay Dolores writes with a bite: “We forced ourselves to go heavier, louder, more personal”. Guitarist Ron Graves and Scarr Kevorkian deliver on strings and programming, while Dorian Dolore’s remix and lead-guitar cameo bring a twist of weirdness and inevitability.
Why It Hits Hard
This isn’t a safe listen — Suicide Queen go in deep, lyrically and vocally, digging at wounds and turning them into sound.
The mix is brutal: heavy guitars, pounding industrial rhythm, layered anger and melody colliding.
COP International champions this kind of dark-electric assault, ensuring the record lands in the right hands. COP International+1
For fans of aggressive electronic/metal hybrids, this is the kind of release you will spin loud.
DAWN OF ASHES Announce Their Next Chapter: Reinfecting the Scars 💀🔥
Dawn of Ashes emerge once more from the void with a devastating new era, officially announcing Reinfecting the Scars, a violent and ambitious expansion of their blackened industrial legacy. A band already synonymous with cinematic horror, electronic brutality, and extreme metal intensity, Dawn of Ashes now returns with a release that digs deeper into their mythology — reopening old wounds only to infect them anew.
Built on the foundation of Infecting the Scars and Scars of the Broken, this new chapter accelerates the band’s evolution. The new material fuses serrated electronics, ritual-heavy atmospheres, and suffocating aggression into a sound engineered for both internal destruction and external domination. This is Dawn of Ashes at their most sharpened, their most emotionally charged, and their most sonically dangerous.
A Resurrection of Fury
For long-time followers, Reinfecting the Scars feels like a resurrection of the darker DOA eras — reimagined through modern production and a more vicious narrative voice. For those newly stepping into their world, this is the perfect initiation: a chance to witness one of industrial metal’s most enduring forces in full, unrestrained form.
Kristof Bathory continues to push the band’s thematic universe into deeper psychological territory. The release explores trauma, spiritual rot, and transformation through darkness — themes that have defined Dawn of Ashes since their inception but now manifest with even greater clarity and intention. Musically, the band drops listeners into a corrupted ritual space: trance-like ambience suddenly exploding into blast-beat violence, mechanical synth strikes, and guttural proclamations from the abyss.
The DOA Ascension
Sonically, fans can expect a perfect storm of industrial metal, aggrotech, atmospheric blackened textures, and hybridized cinematic sound design. DOA’s ability to merge genres without losing identity is on full display here — a further evolution of their signature aesthetic, sharpened by years of performance, experimentation, and spiritual excavation.
As Dawn of Ashes continue to dominate festival stages and underground circles alike, this new release feels like a culmination — and a new beginning. Reinfecting the Scars isn’t nostalgia. It’s transformation. It’s escalation. It’s the next mutation of a band built on blood, nightmares, and visionary sonic violence.
When the scars reopen, the question is simple: Will you turn away — or lean in closer?
The legendary producer returns after nearly five years with an apocalyptic fusion of industrial metal and electronic chaos.
⚡ Explosive Comeback After years of silence on the vocal front, Celldweller — the brainchild of multi-genre mastermind Klayton — has re-emerged with a thunderous new single, “Fakebreaker.” This marks his first full-vocal release in nearly five years, and it’s a sonic firestorm that blends industrial metal, electronic rock, and cinematic bass energy into one devastating package.
Teaming up with dark-bass producer SWARM and vocalist/producer REEBZ, Celldweller delivers a soundscape that’s part cybernetic warfare, part emotional exorcism. Expect thunderous guitars, mechanical grooves, and distorted synths that explode into a dystopian frenzy.
🎛 The Story Behind the Sound Klayton revealed that the project began unexpectedly:
“A 303 acid bassline and a breakbeat… this was a demo for my project FreqGen. While building my new studio, ‘Fakebreaker’ developed into a monster.”
As the track evolved, he enlisted REEBZ for her fierce vocal layering and SWARM for his retro-infused dark electronic textures. The collaboration created a high-impact track that merges three creative visions into one unstoppable sonic juggernaut.
💥 Cinematic Visuals & Future Vision Accompanying the single is a video game-inspired visual where Klayton and REEBZ navigate a neon-drenched digital battlefield — a chaotic visual extension of the track’s post-apocalyptic themes. The release also teases the next phase of Celldweller’s evolution, rumored to build toward his upcoming “God Mode” EP under FiXT.
For long-time fans, this is more than a comeback — it’s a resurgence. For new listeners, it’s a warning shot: Celldweller is still the architect of industrial revolution in modern electronic music.
🔥 The fusion of metal and electronic music has a new apex predator — The Browning have dropped their latest single, “EVOLVE,” through FiXT, and it’s a brutal showcase of human endurance, transformation, and defiance against stagnation. Fronted by visionary Jonny McBee, the track represents a continuation of The Browning’s signature cyber-metal hybrid, pushing their aggressive sound to new, futuristic heights.
💥 “EVOLVE” hits with mechanical precision — blending deathcore breakdowns, industrial pulse, and apocalyptic synths that mirror both the chaos and promise of modern existence. Lyrically, the song captures the struggle to grow in a collapsing world, reminding listeners that pain and persistence are catalysts for true evolution. It’s not just a single — it’s an anthem for anyone refusing to stay static in the face of destruction.
🎧 Produced and engineered by McBee himself, the track balances machine-like brutality with cinematic atmosphere, creating a soundscape that’s both punishing and uplifting. Longtime fans will recognize The Browning’s unmistakable energy, but “EVOLVE” also signals a sharper, more refined sonic direction that could define their next era.
🔥 Since their 2011 debut Burn This World, The Browning have remained a force in the industrial metal scene, uniting EDM, hardcore, and cyberpunk aesthetics into something uniquely their own. “EVOLVE” reaffirms their legacy — and hints at a possible new album that could take their sound even deeper into the digital abyss.
🎶 Listen Now:EVOLVE (Single) by The Browning — available now on all major streaming platforms.

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).

FiXT has announced the release of the Definitive Edition of Circle of Dust’s acclaimed album, Machines of Our Disgrace. Originally released in 2016 after a near two-decade hiatus, this new version is a 2-LP vinyl set from artist/producer Klayton, known for both the Circle of Dust and Celldweller projects.
The Definitive Edition is not just a remaster; it’s an expanded two-disc collection that includes the full original album along with brand-new songs like “Invisible World” and “Digital Messiah,” plus an entire second disc of exclusive remixes.

Deep Dive into the Universe of Circle of Dust & Celldweller
Out now via FiXT, Void Chapter have just unleashed a freshly remastered edition of their explosive debut single, “The Uprising (2025 Remaster)” — reigniting the track that started it all with upgraded sonic firepower for a new era of resistance.
Packing even more cinematic intensity, industrial grit, and futuristic precision, this remaster sharpens every edge of the original anthem, giving fans old and new a reason to rise once again.
Whether you’re building a revolution or just blasting through your workout, this is the soundtrack for defiance, empowerment, and post-apocalyptic swagger.
Klayton of Circle of Dust is back, and he’s stitched together a track that defies convention. “Neophyte” began with a long-forgotten riff—haunting his hard drive for over a decade. Described as having a Trouble / Black Sabbath vibe, the riff carried its own melody and lyrics that Klayton refused to let go.
Though the section bears little resemblance to the rest of the track musically, it makes perfect sense in the mad scientist mind of its creator. “I’ve always enjoyed crafting musical journeys that feel like actual journeys,” Klayton explains. “Consistency be damned—my natural instinct is to mash disparate styles into one cohesive, chaotic whole.”
This is more than a song. It’s a genre-bending odyssey, lovingly described by Klayton as a “tiny song-home” kicked into the world for others to inhabit—even just for a moment.
🗣 “I truly appreciate any of you that have willingly decided to live in one of my musical homes, neophyte or seasoned veteran alike.” – Klayton

DAWN OF ASHES has unleashed their brand new album, “Infecting The Scars,” which is available everywhere today, June 7th, 2025! The highly anticipated release sees Kristof Bathory return the project to its aggrotech roots while pushing forward with a new level of intensity and maturity.
“Full of dark songs and deathly imagery, brought to life by demonic vocals. It’s vampiric, it’s black metal, it’s post-industrial witchcraft, driven by an infectious electronic groove. Very moreish indeed,” praises DEVOLUTION MAGAZINE (UK). ORKUS (DE) hails it as: “Past meets future on an electronic industrial metal delight that will get you on the dance floor. Each of the ten tracks can certainly hit the clubs like a bomb.” VERDAMMNIS (FR) concurs: “Refuses to stagnate while continuing to explore its universe and themes with coherence, intelligence, panache, care and personality. Blends the enthusiasm of youth with a current know-how to make aggrotech great again!”
Stream “Infecting The Scars” now on your preferred platform or via Bandcamp.
Dawn Of Ashes was founded in Los Angeles by Kristof Bathory at the turn of the millennium, the group moniker he chose suggesting ‘the beginning of the end’. Emerging from the industrial and aggrotech genres before expanding into the blackened metal and extreme industrial scenes, Bathory and his band have been a relentless force ever since, evolving and redefining the boundaries of extreme music for over two decades.
“Infecting The Scars” marks a rebirth, fusing the raw, unfiltered aggression of the past with a refined and evolved sound. Lyrically and sonically, it sees them reach a level where the songs are no longer merely anthems of destruction, but rather an exploration of psychological horror, inner demons, and the scars left behind by life’s most brutal moments. The album includes the powerful track “Visceral Rage” with an accompanying lyric video.
Embodying this evolution, the track “Hypertensive Crisis” was issued ahead of the album. It was described by Bathory as “a deliberate attempt to recapture the nostalgia of our early era while seamlessly blending it with fresh, modern elements. It showcases a fully realised version of our classic sound, reimagined with a new intensity and depth.”
A recent relocation to Denmark has also seen Dawn Of Ashes set to expand its reach, bringing the group’s visceral live performances to new territories. European tour dates are currently in the works alongside planned shows in South America, promising a global assault of chaos and horror.
The Machines Vs Monsters tour is off to an explosive start with the first show completely SOLD OUT, and tickets for the remaining dates are flying! Don’t miss your chance to catch this incredible lineup.

KMFDM is set to re-release their classic fourteenth album, “HAU RUCK,” on May 23rd, 2025, via Metropolis Records. This special 20th-anniversary edition, titled “HAU RUCK 2025,” has been completely remixed and remastered, and will be available on 2xLP, CD, and digital formats. Fans can get an early taste with the newly available audio for ‘FREE YOUR HATE’.
The original “HAU RUCK” was recorded in Seattle and released in 2005. Following their industrial/metal assault with 2003’s ‘WWIII’, KMFDM sought a fresh direction. Band leader Sascha Konietzko expressed the desire for something “more noisy, more dance-y, more electronic, and less butt rock.” The album’s concept was playfully dubbed FUBAR – ‘Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition/Repair’ – reflecting their aim to push boundaries.
From the politically charged anthems of ‘Free Your Hate’ and ‘New American Century’ to the grimly emotional grooves of ‘Real Thing’; from the confrontational dancefloor venom of ‘Ready to Blow’ and ‘Professional Killer’; and encompassing a swinging cover of Jacques Dutronc’s ‘Mini Mini Mini’ and the self-effacing snark of ‘Feed Our Fame’, the album proved anything but FUBAR. It showcased KMFDM at its most concentrated, sharply focused, and aggressive, imploring audiences to fight corruption and embrace individuality. The powerful German phrase ‘HAU RUCK’ (meaning ‘Heave Ho’) perfectly captured this defiant spirit.
Hamburg-based industrial rock pioneers KMFDM have carved out a unique path since their founding by Sascha ‘Käpt’n K’ Konietzko in 1984. They’ve continuously refined and redefined modern music while boldly addressing social and political issues. After early albums recorded in Germany, the band moved to the US and gained widespread recognition with Chicago-based Wax Trax! Records.
The 1990s saw KMFDM become a household name in the global industrial rock scene. Their 1995 hit ‘Juke Joint Jezebel’ propelled them onto the Billboard charts and earned them placements on film soundtracks like ‘Bad Boys’ and ‘Mortal Kombat’. Future titans such as Rammstein and Korn even started their careers opening for KMFDM tours.
After a hiatus in 1999 following their tenth album for Wax Trax!, Konietzko resurrected KMFDM three years later, signing with Metropolis Records. This new era featured American singer Lucia Cifarelli (from Drill) and Tim Skold (who later joined Marilyn Manson). Konietzko and Cifarelli returned to Germany in 2008 and have consistently recorded and toured. Their most recent album, ‘LET GO’, released in 2024, coincided with the group’s 40th anniversary.
FiXT has just dropped the explosive “Hive Mind (Single Edit),” a powerful collaboration between Circle of Dust and Celldweller! Prepare for a sonic fusion of industrial intensity.
Los Angeles-founded industrial act DAWN OF ASHES, the project of Kristof Bathory since the turn of the millennium, has unleashed their new single, “HYPERTENSIVE CRISIS,” today, April 18th, 2025, via Metropolis Records.
Links to access the single are available for WAV, MP3, streaming platforms, Bandcamp, and the official music video on YouTube:
This new track is a precursor to their forthcoming album, “INFECTING THE SCARS,” set to be released on June 6th, 2025.
Formed with a moniker suggesting ‘the beginning of the end,’ Dawn Of Ashes initially emerged from the industrial and aggrotech scenes, later incorporating blackened metal and extreme industrial elements. For over two decades, Bathory and the band have consistently pushed the boundaries of extreme music.
Relocating to Denmark, the upcoming album “Infecting The Scars” marks a return to Dawn Of Ashes’ aggrotech roots, infused with a heightened level of intensity and maturity. It is described as a rebirth, blending past aggression with a refined modern sound. The lyrics and sound delve into psychological horror, inner turmoil, and the scars left by life’s harsh experiences, moving beyond mere destructive anthems.
Regarding the new single, “Hypertensive Crisis,” Kristof Bathory states it’s a conscious effort to “recapture the nostalgia of our early era while seamlessly blending it with fresh, modern elements. Evolution and maturity – both in sound and lyrics – are crucial to the creative process. Artistic growth has allowed this project to delve deeper, delivering more meaningful lyrics that evoke horror through the lens of psychosis. This song is a perfect example, showcasing a fully realised version of our classic sound, reimagined with a new intensity and depth.”
The move to Denmark also signals an expansion of Dawn Of Ashes’ live presence, with European tour dates in development alongside planned shows in Mexico, promising widespread chaos and horror.

This latest sonic assault marks a new chapter in the band’s legacy of apocalyptic audio warfare—where harsh electronics, blackened metal, and dystopian rage collide under a biohazard moon.
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 dungeon—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 failing—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.

🕯️ ABOUT CABAL 🕯️
CABAL are a sonic plague from Denmark—uncompromising, unrelenting, and unfathomably heavy. Since their 2018 debut, they’ve decimated stages across the globe with their crushing fusion of deathcore, metalcore, industrial noise, and pitch-black atmospheres.
Everything Rots is CABAL’s most punishing, personal, and visceral record to date. Rife with bleak themes—depression, betrayal, trauma, and decay—it’s a mirror to a crumbling world. The band channels real-life experiences into each track with gut-wrenching authenticity and devastating force. 💀
Featuring guest appearances by members of DISTANT, NASTY, TEN56, VISCERA, and AVIANA, this album is a dark hymn for the broken and the cursed.
The wait is over. San Francisco’s industrial shock unit Psyclon Nine has just dropped their devastating new full-length And Then Oblivion, available now via Metropolis Records. 🔥
A relentless plunge into the void, And Then Oblivion is a sonic descent into chaos — fusing elements of industrial metal, deathcore, ambient, and blackened electronics. Spearheaded by the ever-visionary Nero Bellum, the album is both harrowing and cinematic, packed with unrelenting aggression, tortured beauty, and spiritual decay. 💀
Featuring the blistering singles “Devil’s Work” and “I Choose Violence”, this album marks Psyclon Nine’s most ambitious and unfiltered release to date. It’s a sermon for the damned, crafted in blood, fury, and divine despair.
Rammstein frontman Till Lindemann has released his latest solo single, “Meine Welt”, marking a bold and thought-provoking addition to his growing catalog of solo work. Initially launched digitally on December 20, 2024, the single has now been made available in physical formats as of March 14, 2025, through Out of Line Music.
“Meine Welt” (translated as My World) showcases Lindemann’s signature deep, commanding vocals paired with an intense, cinematic arrangement. The track dives into themes of personal identity, defiance, and resilience, reinforcing his reputation as one of the most expressive and provocative artists in modern German music.
A Sonic and Visual Statement
The single arrives alongside a visually striking music video that reflects Lindemann’s dark, avant-garde artistic vision. With haunting imagery and cryptic symbolism, the video echoes the song’s theme of constructing one’s own reality despite external pressures.
“Meine Welt” was composed by German musician Nicolas Ludwig and produced with a distinct fusion of industrial rock, orchestral elements, and electronic flourishes. Its release comes at a pivotal moment in Lindemann’s career, following a turbulent period of public scrutiny, which the song appears to confront head-on.
A Special Edition Release
Fans can now purchase “Meine Welt” in multiple physical formats, including:
Standard CD Single
Limited Edition Picture Minimax CD
7-Inch Vinyl (Regular and Limited Edition Picture Vinyl)
These collectible versions highlight the track’s stark and confrontational aesthetic, with cover art featuring “Kill Till” spelled in Cyrillic, an apparent reference to past controversies.
A Remix from Avenged Sevenfold’s Zacky Vengeance
Adding a unique twist to the single, Lindemann enlisted Zacky Vengeance of Avenged Sevenfold to craft an exclusive remix of “Meine Welt,” injecting a fresh, aggressive dimension into the track. The collaboration merges Lindemann’s theatrical style with Vengeance’s hard-hitting guitar work, creating an electrifying reinterpretation.
The “Meine Welt” Tour: A Grand Spectacle Awaits
The release of “Meine Welt” sets the stage for Lindemann’s highly anticipated Meine Welt Tour 2025, kicking off on October 29, 2025, in Leipzig, Germany. The extensive tour will see Lindemann perform across multiple European cities, delivering his signature mix of industrial metal, theatrical storytelling, and boundary-pushing performances.
