After years of silence and anticipation, Unter Null continues her long-awaited resurgence with the official music video for “Coming Up To Breathe,” translating raw emotion into a powerful visual statement that cuts straight to the core.
A Visual Reckoning 🖤 “Coming Up To Breathe” has already resonated deeply as a comeback track—equal parts defiance, vulnerability, and survival. With the release of its official music video, Unter Null elevates the song into a cinematic experience, pairing stark imagery with the relentless emotional weight that defined her earlier legacy while signaling a sharpened, more intentional evolution.
Rather than relying on excess or spectacle, the video leans into atmosphere and tension. Every frame reinforces the song’s central theme: the fight to reclaim identity and breath after prolonged suffocation—personal, creative, and societal. It’s not nostalgia. It’s confrontation.
A Milestone Moment in the Unter Null Revival 🔥 This release marks a significant chapter in Unter Null’s return to the industrial landscape. Long regarded as a defining voice in the aggrotech and dark electro movement, her re-emergence has been measured, deliberate, and uncompromising. The video for “Coming Up To Breathe” stands as both a statement and a promise: this era is not about revisiting the past—it’s about finishing unfinished business.
For longtime followers, it’s a powerful reminder of why Unter Null mattered then. For new listeners, it’s an invitation into a universe built on truth, pressure, and release.
A raw transmission from the inner machinery of the self, “Behind My Eyes” marks a defining moment in the evolution of DarkHeart Syndicate.
DarkHeart Syndicate have officially released their new single Behind My Eyes, delivering a stark, emotionally charged entry into their growing catalog of dark electronic and industrial-infused soundscapes. The track arrives as both a confession and a confrontation—an unfiltered look at the internal battles that rage beneath the surface.
A Glimpse Beneath the Surface
“Behind My Eyes” leans heavily into atmosphere and tension, pairing brooding electronics with a sense of restrained aggression. Rather than relying solely on brute force, the song builds its impact through mood, pacing, and lyrical introspection. It feels claustrophobic by design—pulling the listener inward, into a mental space shaped by isolation, perception, and unresolved conflict.
There’s a deliberate contrast at play: cold, mechanical textures collide with deeply human emotion. The result is a track that doesn’t just play—it lingers, echoing long after the final note fades.
Soundtrack for the Inner War
At its core, “Behind My Eyes” explores the divide between what is shown to the world and what remains hidden. It speaks to survival, endurance, and the quiet strength required to carry unseen weight. This is not a song engineered for surface-level consumption; it’s meant for listeners who resonate with darkness not as spectacle, but as truth.
A Statement Release
With this release, DarkHeart Syndicate continues to sharpen its identity—blending dystopian aesthetics, emotional realism, and a cinematic sense of scale. “Behind My Eyes” feels less like a standalone single and more like a mission statement, signaling deeper narratives and heavier transmissions yet to come.
Fans of industrial, dark electronic, and emotionally driven alternative music will find plenty to dissect here—both sonically and thematically.
This isn’t about fitting into the system or playing along with its rules—it’s about reshaping the landscape entirely and claiming what was never meant to be given.
Deep Dive into the Universe of DarkHeart Syndicate
Time to wake up and smell the dystopia. Twisted Flesh Recordings has just unleashed Redacted, the latest sonic assault from Terrorbit—and it hits like a corrupted data stream ripping through the last illusions of comfort.
Built on crushing industrial rhythms, distorted electronics, and a cold, confrontational atmosphere, Redacted feels engineered for a world drowning in surveillance, misinformation, and systemic decay. Terrorbit doesn’t whisper warnings—they broadcast them at full volume, dragging listeners into a fractured future where truth is fragmented and control is constant.
True to the Twisted Flesh Recordings ethos, this release thrives in the shadows between aggression and precision. Every beat feels intentional. Every texture feels weaponized. Redacted isn’t just a release—it’s a signal flare for those already awake, and a rude awakening for those still asleep.
If you crave dark electronic music that reflects the unease of modern existence without compromise, Redacted delivers exactly that—raw, relentless, and unapologetically dystopian.
Alfa Matrix has officially unleashed “Failure (Bonus Edition)”, the long-awaited full-length statement from American industrial agitators FRONTAL BOUNDARY — and it’s nothing short of a relentless psychological onslaught. Following the bile-drenched fury of Hate and the suffocating intensity of Faith, the trio return with a release that stares straight into collapse, rage, despair, and the fragile glimmer of hope that survives the wreckage.
A Brutal Core of 12 Tracks 🩸
At its heart, Failure is a merciless examination of the human condition. Across 12 devastating tracks, FRONTAL BOUNDARY tear open themes of anger, self-destruction, disillusionment, and emotional fracture, channeling them through crushing rhythms, corrosive textures, and an atmosphere that feels both intimate and apocalyptic. This is industrial music at its most confrontational — cold, punishing, and unapologetically honest.
Bonus Edition: Total System Overdrive 🔥
The experience doesn’t stop with the main album. The limited 2CD digipak edition pushes Failure far beyond its breaking point, adding 12 exclusive bonus tracks and remixes that reforge the album into new, club-annihilating forms.
A devastating roster of collaborators — including UNTER NULL, VISCERA DRIP, PYGMY CHILDREN, MISERIA ULTIMA, HER OWN WORLD, FACT PATTERN, BLAKLIGHT, DREAD RISKS, CONTRACULT, and LIVERNOIS — tear into FRONTAL BOUNDARY’s material, mutating it into fresh weapons of sonic destruction. The band themselves also return with their own punishing reworks, ensuring the bonus disc hits just as hard as the original.
Live at Dark Force Fest 2026 🖤
FRONTAL BOUNDARY are also gearing up to bring the Failure experience to a live stage this spring with a **scheduled appearance at **Dark Force Fest 2026 — the three-day goth/industrial music festival running from May 1–3, 2026, at the Sheraton Parsippany in New Jersey. This event gathers underground dark wave, industrial, and alternative acts from around the world for performances, club events, vendors, panels, and more. Dark Force Fest+1
Expect FRONTAL BOUNDARY to deliver their crushing new material live, surrounded by fellow heavy hitters in the scene and a weekend of immersive industrial energy.
Industrial Collapse, Perfected 💀
Failure (Bonus Edition) isn’t just an expansion — it’s an escalation. A deeper plunge into darkness, sharper edges, and a clear declaration that FRONTAL BOUNDARY are operating at full destructive capacity.
Till Lindemann, the unmistakable voice and provocateur behind Rammstein, has once again stepped beyond the boundaries of comfort with the release of his latest solo single, “Alles Ändert Sich…Ich Nicht” (“Everything Changes…Not Me”). Accompanied by an unsettling and visually intense music video, the track continues Lindemann’s uncompromising exploration of identity, decay, and defiance in a world obsessed with transformation.
A Defiant Statement Against Change 🩸
The title alone sets the tone: while the world shifts, mutates, and reinvents itself, Lindemann stands immovable. The song leans heavily into themes of personal stagnation versus societal evolution, delivered with his signature baritone that feels both confrontational and eerily introspective. It’s not nostalgia—it’s resistance.
A Video Designed to Disturb ⚙️
True to form, the accompanying video is deliberately provocative. Stark imagery, unsettling symbolism, and a cold, industrial atmosphere collide to create a visual experience that feels more like a psychological endurance test than a traditional music video. Lindemann doesn’t aim to shock for novelty’s sake—every frame reinforces the song’s core message: discomfort is the point.
Till Lindemann Unfiltered 💀
As with his previous solo work, Lindemann uses this project to push further into raw, controversial territory than Rammstein typically allows. Free from band consensus, his solo output feels more personal, more grotesque, and more confrontational—an unfiltered glimpse into the artist’s darker creative impulses.
“Alles Ändert Sich…Ich Nicht” isn’t just a song; it’s a declaration. Lindemann remains exactly where he wants to be—unapologetic, immovable, and utterly indifferent to expectations.
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.
No album cycle. No compromises. Just raw, confrontational energy aimed straight at the dancefloor.
🔥 A New Single—And It Stands Alone
MIKROMETRIK has officially unleashed “Ashes of God [Club Mix]”, a standalone release forged to exist outside the upcoming album’s narrative. This isn’t a teaser or a leftover—this track is its own entity, built to hit harder, darker, and more aggressively than anything before it.
⚙️ Harsh Energy. Relentless Intent.
Driven by punishing EBM rhythms and aggrotech ferocity, “Ashes of God” channels unfiltered anti-religion fury into a club-ready assault. It’s confrontational, uncompromising, and designed to burn everything in its path. Expect zero mercy—only impact.
As winter descends across alien terrain, Celldweller opens a shimmering portal between galaxies, holiday nostalgia, and the next era of his sonic universe.
A Holiday Broadcast from the U.S.S. Solaris ❄️🚀

The next chapter begins with God Mode, a brutal, high-energy EP already pulsing with momentum. The first single “Fakebreaker”—featuring SWARM and REEBZ—has already rocketed to 1.6 million views on YouTube in a single month.
Next up: “Respawn,” now in the final phase of production, vocals locked, arrangements nearly perfected. With luck (or determination), it should reach listeners in early 2026.
Even further down the pipeline is a new track tentatively titled “No Damage,” along with sketches for additional songs. Celldweller assures fans: God Mode is very real—and very imminent.
Scandroid Reawakens 🟥🟦

He’ll see you back on Earth in 2026. Until then… sleep in heavenly peace.
From the depths of the Dark Lands comes a new mutation: Collected: Into The Dark Lands – Chronicles of the Pale Wanderer: The Remixes, a collaboration forged by the ever-expanding Dark. Descent. collective — now available for descent, distortion, and ritual consumption.
The Pale Wanderer Returns… in New and Distorted Forms 🖤
The Pale Wanderer does not fade. Instead, its shadow stretches longer, darker, and more disfigured as familiar themes twist into unfamiliar shapes. This remix companion pushes the mythology of Chronicles of the Pale Wanderer further into the abyss, reshaping past echoes into something far more vicious, more cryptic, and more ritualized.
Each remix channels a different vein of the Wanderer’s essence, expanding the lore with fresh scars and spectral interpretations. What once was known is now reborn — warped, sharpened, and spiritually unhinged.
A Family of Shadows Reworking the Bloodline ⚔️
In true Dark. Descent. fashion, the artists themselves confront each other: Paired at random, members of the D.D. family were tasked with reimagining one another’s work, tearing apart familiar sonic DNA and rebuilding it into four axes of darkness.
The result? A convergence of minds, a communion of blackened creativity, and a shared frequency that vibrates between myth, memory, and metamorphosis.
Industrial chaos architect CAUSTIC tears open the vault once again, resurrecting the long-buried This Is Jizzcore: PreJizz EPs (2008) — a relic from an era before streaming swallowed the underground.
A Blast From the Filthy Past 🩸
Originally dropped as free downloads on the legendary VampireFreaks platform in late 2008, these early EPs were the feral warm-up before CAUSTIC released the full-length This Is Jizzcore the following year.
For years, these tracks were buried in the digital graveyard, unheard and untouched. Now, they crawl back into the light — unrestored, unfiltered, and unapologetically chaotic.
A Who’s Who of Industrial Mayhem ⚙️
The release features a stacked lineup of remixers from the golden age of online industrial culture, including:
UBERBYTE (RIP Richard)
SKINJOB (RIP Fitz)
UNWOMAN
[SYNDIKA_ZERO]
BETA VIRUS
ALTER DER RUINE
…and more resurrected audio degeneracy
This EP set is more than a release — it’s a digital artifact from a subculture that thrived before algorithms, playlists, and “skip” buttons. A preserved snapshot of industrial’s DIY heartbeat, soaked in noise, humor, and absolute audacity.
MORTAL REALM Invokes Digital Decay with New Single “ROT (And Decompose)” 💀
US industrial force MORTAL REALM returns with a corrosive new offering, releasing “ROT (And Decompose)” on December 5th via Negative Gain — a track that drags listeners deeper into the project’s expanding world of dread-soaked electronic ritual.
A Descent Into Beautiful Corruption 🖤
“ROT (And Decompose)” is a slow, shadow-breathing anthem of erosion and emotional collapse. Built on heavy mechanical pulses, haunted atmospheres, and MORTAL REALM’s signature sonic corrosion, the track feels like a living machine rotting from within — and inviting you to witness every moment of its decay.
The single’s design is intentionally claustrophobic, textured, and immersive, pulling from the raw power of industrial grit while weaving in melodic undertones that linger like ghosts in rusted hallways.
The Mind Behind the Machine: Adam V. Jones ⚙️
MORTAL REALM is the multi-genre, industrial-driven creation of Adam V. Jones, known for his impactful work in Haex and Sterling Silicon.
After carving open a new era of dark electronics with the 2024 debut album Stab in the Dark on Negative Gain Productions, the project has continued expanding its sonic palette — fusing heavy electronics, melodic textures, and esoteric atmospheres into a style that feels both ritualistic and futuristic.
“ROT (And Decompose)” marks one of two new singles arriving in Fall 2025, alongside the emotionally crushing “With a Heavy Heart,” signaling a new chapter of evolution in Jones’s expanding world of digital sorrow and industrial chaos.
Negative Gain’s Arsenal Grows Stronger ⚔️
With each release, MORTAL REALM becomes a sharper weapon in Negative Gain’s dark sonic arsenal. This new single is crafted for fans who crave immersive industrial soundscapes, post-apocalyptic electronics, and emotionally charged decay — a track meant to burrow under the skin and stay there.
French synthwave titan Carpenter Brut has returned, tearing open the next chapter of his dark cinematic universe with the release of “Leather Temple,” the first single from the third and final installment of his legendary Leather trilogy, arriving in 2026. Brut’s newest offering is a serrated collision of abrasive beats, metallic tension, and dystopian world-building—his most ambitious vision yet.
Directed by Dehn Sora, the accompanying video introduces Midwichpolis, a scorched post-nuclear metropolis reborn from the ashes of 2077. This sprawling nightmare city forms the narrative backbone of the new album.
At its core stands the monolithic Temple, a blackened tower piercing the skyline like a ceremonial blade. It serves as the throne of Iron Tusk, the brutal ruler whose empire thrives on fear, propaganda, and decadence. While the upper sectors—known as the City of Light—bathe in neon excess, holographic glamour, and grotesque luxury, the truth is far more rotten. Below the shimmering facade stretch the Midwich Slums, a labyrinth of ruin, poverty, and perpetual surveillance. Here, rebellion simmers. Here, the shadows swallow the innocent whole.
“Leather Temple” channels this tension directly into sound. Its steel-sharpened beats and heavy metal-kissed riffs echo the rage of the oppressed, while blistering neon synths reflect the glowing corruption above. Saturated in 90s electro grit and soaked in dystopian atmosphere, the track stomps forward with distorted aggression and relentless propulsion—classic Carpenter Brut, but fiercer, darker, and even more cinematic.
Since erupting onto the scene in 2012, Carpenter Brut has fused metal, dark electronic music, and ‘80s pop culture into his own unmistakable universe—equal parts John Carpenter, Dario Argento, Slayer, and Justice. The Leather trilogy has become a modern mythos: • Leather Teeth (2018) — a glam-rock-infused neon nightmare • Leather Terror (2022) — a brutal slasher odyssey following anti-hero Brett Halford • The forthcoming final chapter — the ultimate crescendo of this filmic saga
Carpenter Brut’s live spectacle continues to evolve alongside the narrative, and he has announced extensive European and U.S. dates for March 2026, including a massive North American co-headline run with HEALTH.
UK industrial/electronic force j:dead has launched a massive year-long campaign—12 singles in 12 months—and the first strike has already landed with devastating impact. “Pressure”, released today via Infacted Recordings (DE), arrives as both a mission statement and a warning: expect zero restraint from here on out.
Built on urgency, tension, and raw emotional voltage, Pressure captures everything this campaign intends to deliver. The track radiates immediacy—dark electronics, visceral vocals, and a production style sharpened for both the introspective listener and the dancefloor addict.
The single moves like a psychological collapse in two acts: the first half drifts in with melancholic isolation, quiet tragedy, and emotional fragility… before detonation. The second half hits hard—percussive, aggressive, club-driven, and cathartic. It mirrors the human breaking point: sometimes shattering us, sometimes transforming us.
Musically, Pressure continues j:dead’s evolution toward bigger hooks, darker atmospheres, and increasingly cinematic storytelling. The vocals cut deep while the electronics pulse with a near-mechanical inevitability. It’s a powerful opening salvo for the 12-month series, setting a high bar for what’s ahead.
With performances at Amphi Festival, Wave Gotik Treffen, Plage Noire, and other major European dark-electronic events, j:dead is quickly embedding himself into the fabric of the modern industrial scene. His refreshed sound is wired for live impact, ensuring every upcoming single will land heavy in club sets across the world.

Expect pounding machines, metallic tension, and narrative shadows that refuse to let go. This is MATT HART at his most expansive and mythic yet.

And for a limited time, Slighter is handing this one out like a holiday hex: FREE to download by entering 0 at checkout. A perfect year-end gift before the project storms into 2026.
Twisted Flesh Recordings cracks open a new abyss today as Against I erupt with their latest sonic offering, Darkness Within — a release carved straight from the marrow of industrial aggression and shadow-drenched atmosphere. This is not just another drop… it’s an invocation. A pulse. A descent.

This release is engineered for dim rooms, heavy nights, and those who find comfort where the light refuses to go.

Deep Dive into the Universe of Twisted Flesh Recordings
FiXT has officially dropped Celldweller’s sinister seasonal anomaly, An Offworld Christmas — a holiday release engineered for those who prefer their cheer distorted, interstellar, and pulsing with alien energy.

The pulse of a forgotten era roars back to life as SPANKTHENUN unveils “Berlin,” a pure New Beat time capsule forged entirely from authentic 1987 hardware.
The Sound of a Dark Dancefloor Reborn 💀
SPANKTHENUN steps straight into the shadows of electronic history with “Berlin,” the first transmission from their upcoming New Beat Collection: Era 1987. This release is more than a song—it’s a restoration of an era when underground clubs bled smoke, neon, and minimalist mechanical rhythm.
To honor the origins of New Beat, the band turned back the clock and used only gear from 1987—no modern shortcuts, no plugins, no digital gloss. The result? A raw, pulsing, hypnotic groove that feels ripped straight from a European nightclub caught between darkness and desire.
A Refrain That Possesses the Mind 🖤
The mantra at the core of Berlin is as addictive as it is transportive:
“Baby, take me to Berlin.” “Baby, nimm mich mit nach Berlin.”
A bilingual invocation. A looping seduction. A phrase engineered to echo in your skull long after the track stops spinning.
This is the kind of single that doesn’t just play—it haunts.
Mach FoX’s journey into the shadows of electronic music began long before Zwaremachine emerged as a fully realized force. Drawn to the synthetic pulse of ‘80s music—processed drums, hypnotic synths, and the strange allure of acts like Gary Numan, Fad Gadget, and Alien Sex Fiend—he quickly discovered that alternative sounds weren’t just music but escape routes. Punk cracked open the door even wider, offering not only attitude but permission. When he shifted from guitar to sequencers and drum machines, he realized he could operate as a one-man band sculpted entirely from electricity. That spark would become the earliest prototype of Zwaremachine.
Throughout the ‘90s, he honed his identity across guitar and synth-driven projects. Then, in 2005, he released his solo Mach FoX album and formed a band to play it live—an act defined by theatrical lighting, costuming, and performance art. This experience birthed Zwaremachine’s audio-visual DNA. As he expanded into VJ work and installation-style video art, syncing imagery with sound became not just an aesthetic choice but an obsession.
Years of performances sharpened his instinct for pairing music with glitchy, circuit-bent visuals. The result? A sonic identity defined not by rigid genre labels but by tension, repetition, and mechanical hypnosis. When Be A Light arrived, Mach coined the phrase “minimal hypnotic industrial body music” to describe a style all his own—long looping sequences cut into tight rhythmic pulses, merging physicality with cold circuitry.
Influence came not just from records, but screens: Tetsuo: The Iron Man, Mad Max, Alien, RoboCop, and the biomechanical nightmares of H.R. Giger. Bands like Sigue Sigue Sputnik and Skinny Puppy shaped his desire for cyberpunk spectacle. Early Zwaremachine shows were chaotic—hardware failing, members missing—but Mach learned self-sufficiency when a DJ collaborator got arrested minutes before showtime. He performed alone. No computers, no backup band—just grit, planning, and will. “Zwaremachine” means “heavy machine,” and in those days, the name matched the literal weight of the gear he dragged to every venue.
Asked what he’d tell his younger self, he answered with conviction: commit to the vision, trust your instincts, and don’t clone anyone else’s sound. Originality is earned through persistence.
⚡
Today, Zwaremachine’s international cult following is the result of years of transformation. A major turning point arrived in 2019 when Bas—Dein Offizier—brought a Brazilian surdo drum into the mix. Its booming resonance expanded the band’s sonic footprint. Shortly afterward, Mach’s longtime collaborator Dbot joined on bass guitar, pushing Zwaremachine from a solo-driven project into a fully realized band with new energy and melodic strength. His contributions shaped Conquest 3000 and set the foundation for the upcoming third album.
The evolution continued with the arrival of guitarist Paul K and electronic drummer Marshall B, shifting Zwaremachine into an industrial rock organism with electrifying live dynamics. The onstage energy surged—heavier, louder, more physical.
Mach remains dedicated to the band’s visual identity, customizing microphones and modifying equipment to maintain a cohesive cyberpunk aesthetic. While earlier performances involved juggling sequencers and visuals live, Mach later realized he needed to step out from behind the machines to truly lead the show. Looping visuals preserved the hypnotic vibe while freeing him to become the frontperson the music demanded. Minimalism remained key: black-and-white glitch art, stark lighting, and lyric-driven repetition designed to pull crowds into a trance. Be A Light, with its single verse and five choruses, exemplified this mantra.
Creative flow within the band is fluid and collaborative. Older tracks left little room for added instrumentation, but newer compositions allow Dbot’s Wax Trax-inspired basslines and Paul K’s textured guitars to flourish. Their third album will be their most unified effort yet, with every member writing and shaping their sound.
Though Zwaremachine excels visually, Mach remains grounded. Whether performing at underground clubs or international festivals, he channels raw punk energy into every show. Music remains his anchor—an outlet for darker emotions in a world that grows more chaotic by the day.
🔮
The road ahead for Zwaremachine is charged with momentum. Their next album promises a more aggressive assault—faster tempos, heavier synths, and arrangements built for live detonation. Recording begins in November, with Mach traveling to the Netherlands to capture performances from Paul K and Marshall B, marking the band’s most global collaboration to date.
Before that arrives, a deeply emotional release is queued under the Mach FoX name. Chaos of Man, arriving in October 2025, was born from tragedy. Originally intended for Zwaremachine’s third record, the material shifted dramatically after the passing of drummer Dein Offizier. Mach found himself unable to revisit the songs for long stretches, and when he did, the arrangements changed—synths replaced with guitars, structures altered to reflect grief’s imprint. Ultimately, the songs no longer fit Zwaremachine’s identity, but they carried a truth that needed to be released. The album stands as both tribute and closure.
Beyond music, Mach plans to return to video art—especially for upcoming music videos tied to the new album. While technology pushes toward virtual and AI-enhanced experiences, Zwaremachine remains unapologetically analog for the time being. The future may bring new tools, but the pulse of the project remains human.
In terms of dream collaborations, Mach’s top choice is visual mastermind Paul Gerrard, whose grotesque and cinematic artwork resonates with Zwaremachine’s dystopian edge.
As he looks forward, Mach’s message to the next generation is simple and razor-sharp: Find your voice. Distill it. Weaponize it. Never conform.
London’s rising dark-electronic force OMEN CODE strike again, dropping a razor-sharp final single titled “Tensor”—the last warning shot before their full-length album Alpha State arrives December 5th, 2025 via Dependent Records (Germany).
A chilling fusion of cybernetic beats, dystopian tension, and calculated aggression, “Tensor” showcases the duo at their most precise and most dangerous yet.
A Final Transmission Before the Fall ⚡🖤
“Tensor” serves as the sinister closing chapter to the album’s advance material, offering a taste of what awaits listeners inside Alpha State—a future where the machines pulse, shadows breathe, and humanity hangs by a digital thread.
OMEN CODE consists of:
Kevin Gould — programming & engineering (ex-Electro Assassin)
Agi Taralas — vocals (ex-Our Banshee)
Together, they forge a sound that feels like industrial DNA spliced with modern dark-electronic warfare—cold, clinical, and overwhelmingly atmospheric.
The godfather of Mexican harsh electronics is back. Racso Agroyam—founding member of Hocico and the mind behind the cult industrial project Dulce Líquido—unleashes one final blast of sonic violence before the arrival of his long-awaited new album MIND DOMINATION, out December 19th, 2025 via Out of Line Music.
Today, Dulce Líquido sets the world ablaze with the punishing new single “La Infamia De Los Falsos.” Grinding, venomous, and unflinchingly raw, it offers a deadly final preview of the chaos to come.
The Final Warning Shot ⚡🧪
“La Infamia De Los Falsos” embodies everything that defines Dulce Líquido: corrosive rhythms, mechanical terror, and an atmosphere dense enough to crush lungs. It is rhythmic torture at its purest—Aggranoise, industrial, minimal, and catastrophic.
Mind Domination is built to level dancefloors and destroy neural pathways. Fueled by pounding beats, twisted synths, and Racso’s signature dystopian vision, this album is a brutal continuation of the sound that turned Dulce Líquido into one of the most influential forces in dark industrial music.
Racso describes it best:
“When atoms and beats are combined, Dulce Líquido is ready to annihilate the dancefloors. The record will keep your mind and body dancing until you die on the dancefloor.”
Minimal. Violent. Hypnotic. This is industrial distortion at full force—a ritual of noise, panic, hate, and absolute catharsis.
For true disciples of the project, Mind Domination also arrives in a strictly limited Archives Of Domination edition—containing three additional CDs of unreleased material rescued from Racso’s personal vault.
Digitized from old tapes, MiniDiscs, and CDs, this archive reveals the hidden DNA of Dulce Líquido’s earliest eras.
Racso explains:
“I’ve been preserving this material for years. Some of it I rescued from old recordings—it’s pure gold from the past. These emotions can never be replaced, and I’m proud to finally share them.”
Live: Hocico at Out Of Line’s 30th Anniversary 🎛️🖤
Racso returns to the stage for a massive celebration as Hocico performs at Out Of Line’s 30th Anniversary in Berlin on December 19th, the same day Mind Domination drops.
Founded in 1993 by Racso Agroyam, Dulce Líquido is an uncompromising vision of industrial extremity—an outlet for isolation, rage, and psychic disintegration. The project rejects boundaries, creating twisted, violent soundscapes where imagination bleeds into reality.
It is the beast beneath the skin. The panic behind the pulse. A world of dance rhythms, harsh electronics, and grotesque atmospheres—always seeking the next boundary to destroy.
istortion Productions ignites the underground with a release built for sweat-drenched dancefloors and shadow-lit neon nights.

Sweat-dripping, no-apology groove
If you want clean, polished, pristine electronics — this isn’t it. If you want grit, heat, and attitude — welcome home.
“Dirty Hard Beats (XXX)” feels like the soundtrack to an after-hours basement rave where the lights never come on and everyone knows exactly why they’re there.
Amulet: A Name Rising from the Smoke 💀
Amulet continues to grow into one of the scene’s most unapologetically visceral acts. Their sonic identity embraces industrial electronics stripped down to their filthiest core — the place where rhythm takes over and intention becomes instinct.
Every release sharpens their edges a little more. “Dirty Hard Beats (XXX)” sharpens them to a knife point.
Distortion Productions: The Factory of Dark Energy ⚙️
Distortion Productions remains one of the most trusted and hard-charging labels in the alternative electronic world. Their catalog is a constant engine of industrial, dark electro, EBM, and everything adjacent to the shadows.
With this release, they continue their streak of championing artists who push boundaries, break floors, and hit harder than the mainstream ever dares.
The Danish synth automatons return with a chilling new chapter—one where even robots are afraid of the dark.
Nightmare Arrives Friday — And It Bites Hard 🩸
The new digital single “Nightmare” drops Friday, November 14th, 2024, across all major streaming platforms — and in pristine lossless format through ManMindMachine’s Bandcamp, complete with an exclusive bonus track, “Monsters.”
The Track: Synthetic Fear Wrapped in EBM ⚙️💀
“Nightmare” is an energetic, melodic EBM burner—wired with pulsing basslines, crisp machine grooves, and a sinister layer of horror-infused atmosphere. It’s the kind of track that compels the body to move while the mind slips into a darker dimension.
Over on Bandcamp, listeners also get “Monsters,” an exclusive b-side that slides into a slower, more haunting realm. Downbeat. Paranoid. Velvet darkness. A very different emotional vector, but unmistakably ManMindMachine.
When Robots Face the Dark: The Nightmare Lore 🤖👁️
The last time we encountered ManMindMachine, their robotic consciousness had evolved—dreaming not of electric sheep, but of possibilities beyond human constraint.
But around Halloween / Samhain / Allerheiligen, when the veil between realms grows thin… something changed.
The robots began to dream of nightmares. They saw monsters in their sleep. And they couldn’t understand why.
Unaccustomed to fear, their digital minds split: What is a dream? What is reality? What stalks them from inside their own code?
Now they invite you into their terror loop. Are you ready for the nightmare?
Who Are ManMindMachine? ⚡
A Danish Synth/EBM collective, ManMindMachine are driven by a devotion to alternative electronic music—but with a mission to reinterpret genres in fresh and unexpected ways. Their sound fuses classic EBM pulses with futuristic textures and philosophical machine-mythology.

Digital World Audio has just dropped a powerful new strike from the shadows — PROMETHEUS FLAME returns with the explosive single “March On Blaze,” a rallying cry forged in smoke, steel, and cyber-industrial fire.
🔥 PROMETHEUS FLAME — A Rising Force in the Dark Electronic Vanguard PROMETHEUS FLAME has been slowly carving a place in the global industrial underground, mixing militant electronic rhythms with cinematic atmospheres and razor-edged production. Known for a sound that blends dark electro, post-apocalyptic ambience, and martial industrial influence, PROMETHEUS FLAME continues to evolve with each new release — and “March On Blaze” is their most incendiary offering yet.
🔥 “March On Blaze” — A Call to Stand, Fight, and Survive Built on thunderous percussion, smoldering synths, and the unmistakable mechanical heartbeat of Digital World Audio’s signature aesthetic, “March On Blaze” is a track that hits like a strike of lightning across a war-torn horizon. It carries the spirit of rebellion, the weight of resistance, and the full fury of PROMETHEUS FLAME’s sonic arsenal.
🔥 Digital World Audio Continues Its Tactical Expansion Released via Digital World Audio, one of the most consistent players in underground industrial, the track arrives as part of the label’s continued push to spotlight high-intensity electronic warfare from emerging and established artists alike.
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?
British industrial techno/gabba powerhouse JUNKIE KUT has dropped his ferocious new single “OutPSYders”, a battle cry for the misfits, freaks, and free thinkers of a homogenized world. The track is now available on all major streaming platforms and serves as a fiery follow-up to his acclaimed 2024 album ekstasis.
⚙️ A Battle Cry for the Outsiders
“So many of us struggle to live in mainstream culture,” says JUNKIE KUT, “so I wanted to make a track of optimistic rage—dedicated to the people who don’t fit in; the goths, the ravers, the punks, the geeks, the freaks. It’s a battle cry for individuality in a painfully homogenous world.”
“OutPSYders” captures that energy with a wall of distorted industrial beats and relentless gabba fury, fusing defiance and euphoria into one explosive statement of rebellion.
🔊 The Sonic Weaponry of JUNKIE KUT
Known for fusing industrial, punk, metal, speedcore, gabba, techno, and trance, JUNKIE KUT stands as one of the most radical forces in the underground scene. After igniting main stages at Resistanz Festival and Infest, he continues to shatter genre boundaries with unfiltered energy and raw intensity.
Having performed alongside Aesthetic Perfection, Zardonic, Deviant UK, and Ayria, and tearing up legendary hardcore events like Hardshock, Pokkie Herrie, Terrordrang, and Berlin’s F*ckParade, his cult following stretches across Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK.
🔥 Radical Sound, Revolutionary Spirit
Fueled by counterculture and neo-shamanic visions of liberation, JUNKIE KUT channels chaos into catharsis. His sound—described as “optimistic rage”—transforms despair into movement and rebellion into art.
This is more than music—it’s a sonic ritual for those who refuse to conform. This is music for the outPSYders.

U.S. electro-industrial act genCAB rises from the depths once more with their haunting new single, “Open Grave,” out now via Metropolis Records. Released on October 31, 2025, this brooding club anthem drags listeners into a confessional spiral of self-sabotage, decay, and emotional dissection—set to a driving, dancefloor-ready beat.
💿 Includes:
Open Grave
Open Grave (Unsolved Remix by Lost Signal)
Last (Nine Inch Nails cover)
🩸 A Dance with Self-Destruction
“The song explores the decay of our own undoing. I’m a self-destructive person, and ‘Open Grave’ is about lying in my own mess that I create for myself,” confesses David Dutton, the creative force behind genCAB.
Dutton adds, “Most of the advice we get is to keep our inner pain hidden, so we isolate further. This song is me laying that pain bare—for anyone to hear, whenever they need it. It’s more accessible than my past work, but it carries a message that’s universal. Sometimes life is just a dance track and an outlet to lose yourself. Who knows what’s left when you tear yourself apart—but at least it’s honest.”
⚙️ genCAB’s Sonic Evolution
Since their 2008 debut II transMuter, genCAB has been a force in the darker corners of electronic music, expertly merging EBM, synth-pop, and alternative rock. After a long hiatus that saw Dutton and drummer Tim Van Horn touring with Aesthetic Perfection, genCAB returned in 2022 with Thoughts Beyond Words and the Everything You See Is Mine EP—showcasing a renewed energy and emotional intensity.
Their 2023 Metropolis release Signature Flaws introduced dreamlike shoegaze and post-hardcore influences, while 2024’s III I II (THIRD EYE GEMINI) reimagined and expanded upon their earliest material with modern, atmospheric depth. Now, Open Grave continues that evolution—melding catharsis with rhythm, and ruin with revelation.
The long-dormant U.S. electro-industrial powerhouse Flesh Field has returned once again, unleashing a fully remastered edition of their 2001 classic Belief Control. Released via Metropolis Records on October 31, 2025, this updated version breathes new life into one of the genre’s most influential releases.
🔥 Includes the singles:
Allegiance 2025
The Truth Within
⚙️ A Legacy of Power and Precision
Originally founded in 1996 by Ian Ross in Columbus, Ohio, Flesh Field quickly carved their identity with a fusion of intricate programming, dark symphonic textures, and emotional ferocity. Their debut, Viral Extinction (1999), announced their arrival in the underground, while 2001’s Belief Control took their sound to a new level — merging bombastic orchestration with machine-driven aggression.
The album’s success led to a partnership with Metropolis Records, which handled U.S. distribution for their next full-length, Strain. The record’s expanded instrumentation—featuring layered guitars, choral elements, and thunderous percussion—cemented Flesh Field’s place among industrial music’s elite.
🧠 Silence, Then Rebirth
After nearly two decades of inactivity, Ross reignited Flesh Field with the politically charged 2023 concept album Voice Of The Echo Chamber, followed by the Voice Of Reason EP in 2024. Both releases marked a creative resurgence and paved the way for a comprehensive remaster campaign through Metropolis.
The Belief Control (2025 Edition) follows the June reissue of Viral Extinction, with the full Flesh Field discography set for remastered release in the coming months. Even more thrilling—Ross has confirmed that a brand-new Flesh Field album is nearing completion.

🎶 Listen Now:
💬 “Denial is about confronting the uncomfortable truths we try to bury,” says I Ya Toyah. “This remix turns that confrontation into a dark celebration—a scream disguised as a song.”
⚡ About I Ya Toyah
Born in Poland and now based in Chicago, I Ya Toyah’s name translates roughly to “It’s just me”—a fitting declaration for the one-woman army behind her music. Blending industrial, darkwave, synth-pop, and electronic rock, she writes, records, and produces everything herself, championing a fiercely DIY ethos under her own label Femme Fatale Records.
Her work delves deep into themes of mental health, human rights, and self-empowerment, often donating proceeds from her music and merchandise to causes such as the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and Animal Hope & Wellness. I Ya Toyah views her project not merely as music, but as a movement—a rallying cry for individuality and strength in dark times.
Her debut album Code Blue (2018) introduced her as a formidable voice in the industrial underground, with subsequent releases and collaborations pushing her further into global recognition. “Denial (Aesthetic Perfection Remix)” continues that legacy, fusing raw emotion with machine-driven precision.

The legendary Icon of Coil return with a remastered reissue of their groundbreaking debut, Serenity Is The Devil, marking 25 years since the album that helped define the futurepop and EBM movement.
“This digitally enhanced remaster sounds slicker and still has that heady EBM vibe their fans covet and the band are famous for, with accessible, melodic and brooding vocals.” — Devolution
“One of the most influential acts in the dark electronic genre, with vibes of a souped-up Bauhaus or Peter Murphy on acid.” — Penny Black Music
“This release will transport you to the year 2000! An incomparable sound that conjures up memories of dance-through nights and one’s own youth.” — Orkus
Formed in 1997 by Andy LaPlegua (later of Combichrist), Icon of Coil quickly evolved from a solo project into a full-fledged powerhouse with Sebastian Komor and Christian Lund joining soon after. Their blend of driving beats, melodic synths, and brooding vocals set a new benchmark for dark electronic music.
Their debut Serenity Is The Devil (2000) soared to the Top 3 on the German DAC Alternative Chart, followed by The Soul Is In The Software (2002), which claimed No. 1. By the time Machines Are Us (2004) dropped, the trio had firmly cemented their status among the greats — alongside VNV Nation and Covenant — touring across Europe and North America with unmatched intensity.
Now, the 25th Anniversary Edition of Serenity Is The Devil brings the original energy roaring back with enhanced digital clarity and an exclusive unreleased track, “SEC FOUR.”

💀 Deep Dive into the Universe of Icon of Coil: Facebook
Today, darkwave and synthpop powerhouse Brittany Bindrim drops her new full-length Counterpoison, a record that radiates cinematic tension, propulsive beats, and raw emotion. This latest release marks a fierce, faster-paced evolution from her 2024 debut Velella Velella, diving headfirst into the shadows of duality, resistance, and renewal.
🔥 A Transformation Through Sound At its core, Counterpoison is a story of transformation — an antidote for the toxins that corrode us both personally and collectively. The album embodies the concept of art as alchemy, turning pain, betrayal, and societal decay into fuel for empowerment and rebirth.
🎛 Sonic Craftsmanship Written and performed by Bindrim herself, the album was produced and mixed by Matt McJunkins (A Perfect Circle, Puscifer, Eagles of Death Metal, Poppy) and mastered by Ken “Hiwatt” Marshall. The result? A visceral, high-voltage soundscape pulsing with cinematic grandeur and industrial precision.
💿 Out Now Counterpoison is available today on limited edition vinyl, CD, and across all digital and streaming platforms. Bindrim will also bring the album’s dark energy to life through select performances in Seattle, Portland, and Los Angeles.
Electro-industrial and synth-pop icon Assemblage 23 — the project of Tom Shear — returns with “Believe,” the powerful new single from the upcoming album Null, out November 7th, 2025 via Metropolis Records.
✨ Finding Light in the Static “This song is about believing that there is hope for better things, even with the state of the world as it is today,” explains Shear. “We are responsible for making the kind of world we live in. In the face of bad times, sometimes the most subversive thing you can do is have hope.”
“Believe” marks the second single from Null — Assemblage 23’s tenth studio album and the long-awaited follow-up to 2020’s Mourn. The record also features the recent single “Tolerate” and showcases Shear’s trademark fusion of melodic precision, emotional resonance, and electronic craftsmanship that has defined his two-decade legacy in the dark electronic scene.
💀 Legacy of Innovation and Emotion Since emerging with Contempt at the turn of the millennium, Assemblage 23 has remained a defining force in futurepop, breaking from European dominance with emotionally charged songwriting and razor-sharp production. Shear’s lyrics — often touching on themes of loss, depression, resilience, and hope — have built a deeply loyal following and continue to resonate across generations of listeners.
