Cutting Edge Culture Updates, Metropolis, New Music Release

🎧 KMFDM Announces “HAU RUCK 2025” Reissue – Remixed & Remastered for 20th Anniversary! 🎧

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.

The original lineup for ‘HAU RUCK’ included:

  • Sascha Konietzko – vocals, synthesizers, sequencers, engineering
  • Lucia Cifarelli – vocals
  • Jules Hodgson – guitars, bass, programming, engineering
  • Andy Selway – drums, programming
  • Steve White – guitars, programming
  • Mina Stolle – trumpet on ‘Auf Wiederseh’n’

“HAU RUCK 2025” Tracklist:

  1. FREE YOUR HATE
  2. HAU RUCK
  3. YOU’RE NO GOOD
  4. NEW AMERICAN CENTURY
  5. REAL THING
  6. EVERY DAY’S A GOOD DAY
  7. MINI MINI MINI
  8. PROFESSIONAL KILLER
  9. FEED OUR FAME
  10. READY TO BLOW
  11. AUF WIEDERSEH’N

KMFDM Biography

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.

DAWN OF ASHES Drops New Single “HYPERTENSIVE CRISIS” Ahead of Upcoming Album

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:



DAWN OF ASHES – HYPERTENSIVE CRISIS – OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO (Radio Version).

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.

INFECTING THE SCARS TRACKLISTING:

  1. Intro – Made In Hell
  2. Infecting The Scars
  3. Bone Saw (feat. Alien Vampires)
  4. Visceral Rage
  5. Hypertensive Crisis
  6. Coma Maker
  7. Masochism
  8. Faith Desecration
  9. Throne Of Misanthropy
  10. Outro – Existential Despair

⚙️ FiXT Drops “Humanarchy” Single Edit by Circle of Dust & Celldweller 💀

The future trembles under pressure—FiXT has just released the single edit of “Humanarchy,” a high-voltage collaboration between Circle of Dust and Celldweller.

This isn’t just a track—it’s a digital revolt. “Humanarchy” fuses razor-edged cybermetal with glitch-ridden industrial textures, embodying a dystopian cry for autonomy in a world buried under wires and obedience.

💉 DAWN OF ASHES Declares War on the Pulse with “Hypertensive Crisis” 💀

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 warfare—where harsh electronics, blackened metal, and dystopian rage collide under a biohazard moon.

💀 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 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.

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.

GOST’s latest album, “Prophecy”, is out now on Metal Blade Records and has already made a massive impact, landing multiple Billboard chart positions:

Blending darkwave, industrial, and black metal, GOST’s sonic world is as eerie as it is electrifying. The Texas-based multi-instrumentalist and producer has been a genre-defying force since the release of “Radio Macabre” (2013) and “Skull” (2013).

Critics Rave About “Prophecy” 🔥📢

🔥 Decibel Magazine – “Hellish blasts of blackened industrial like ‘Death In Bloom’ and ‘Digital Death’ harken back to the digital demonology of 2018’s ‘Possessor.’ While harshness eclipses hooks, mascara traces remain: ‘Widow Song’ enjoys the silence of humanity’s demise.”

🔥 Revolver Magazine – “Bewitching black-metal hisses laid over thumping darkwave synths and thwacking industrial drums. A match made in Hell.”

🔥 Kerrang! – “The world his music inhabits is nocturnal and sinister, bathed in crimson neon; while its electronic beats might point a bony finger in the direction of the dancefloor, the environment it portrays is more ritual than rave…’

🔥 No Clean Singing – “GOST provides both synth and metal purists a focal point to indulge upon with hellish glee. ‘Prophecy’ will no doubt go down as a stylistic staple, an example of how to make immense music of infinite flavors that pulverizes all fortunate enough to be in its wake.”

Antania Joins Psyclon Nine on U.S. ‘Devils Work’ Tour in 2025

The rising “Doom Bass” pioneers Antania are set to join industrial metal heavyweights Psyclon Nine on their highly anticipated ‘Devils Work’ Tour across the United States this spring. Known for their groundbreaking fusion of black metal, doom metal, and electronic bass music, Antania continues to captivate audiences with their innovative sound and visceral live performances.

Heralded as the inventors and champions of the “Doom Bass” subgenre, Antania has been active since June 2023, quickly carving a unique niche in the metal and electronic music scenes. Drawing influences from Slayer, Ministry, The Prodigy, Morbid Angel, and Deicide, the band has been likened to “the Slayer of bass music.”

The duo, composed of Dr. Luna (bass and electronics) and Kali Mortem (vocals), forgoes traditional string instruments, creating their sound by wrapping distortion around saw and sub-bass lines using a microbrute synthesizer. Sponsored by KAT Percussion, Dr. Luna delivers intricate polyrhythms over trap beats and blast beats, while Kali Mortem’s blackened, abrasive vocals evoke a haunting intensity.

“This tour is a dream collaboration,” said Dr. Luna, also a high priest at the Temple of Hecate in New York City. “We’re excited to bring our ‘Doom Bass’ sound to Psyclon Nine’s fans and see how the dark aesthetics of both bands resonate.”

Antania’s critically acclaimed debut album, The God Complex (January 2024, The Triad Records), has garnered praise from fans and press alike. Metal Digest called it “a filthy record of utter low-frequency brutality”, highlighting tracks like “Black Glitch Six” and “Trophy.” Their recent single “D3D Solz” further demonstrates their innovative sound, solidifying their place as pioneers of a new metal subgenre.

Tour Dates

The tour kicks off on January 31, 2025, at Brick By Brick in San Diego, CA, and spans multiple cities including Portland, Seattle, Detroit, and New York. The full schedule includes:

January 31, 2025 – Brick By Brick, San Diego, CA

February 2, 2025 – Star Theater, Portland, OR

February 3, 2025 – El Corazon, Seattle, WA

February 5, 2025 – Gray’s Keg Saloon, Lincoln, NE
