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.

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.
Blending cybernetic sleigh bells, industrial frostbite, and Celldweller’s unmistakable offworld sound design, this release reframes Christmas through a darker cosmic lens. It’s festive… but from a timeline where the stars sing back.
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.
Amulet Returns With a Filthy, High-Voltage Statement ⚡🔥
Distortion Productions has unleashed “Dirty Hard Beats (XXX)” by Amulet, a release engineered for bodies that crave movement and minds that thrive in the darker corners of electronic energy. This isn’t just a track — it’s a physical experience, built from steel-cut rhythms, filthy bass grit, and a pulse that refuses to quit.
Amulet leans deep into raw circuitry and hedonistic groovecraft, crossing industrial grit with club-level heat. “Dirty Hard Beats (XXX)” is exactly what the title hints at — dangerous, sweaty, unapologetically rhythm-driven, and tailor-made for nights when nothing matters except the beat and the body.
This is Amulet at their most primal. This is Distortion Productions doing what they do best — feeding the underground.
The Sound: Sleaze, Steel & Sonic Sin 💣🖤
This release taps into a lethal blend of:
Dirty industrial percussion
XXX-grade swagger
Gutter-slick bass hits
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.

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? ⚡

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.

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?

⚙️ A Battle Cry for the Outsiders

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.

⚡ About I Ya Toyah

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.”

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.

✨ 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.
British industrial/EBM visionary ESA has unveiled Pound of Flesh, a three-part music film drawn from his latest album, Sounds for Your Happiness, released July 5th via Negative Gain Productions.
🎬 Watch “Pound of Flesh” here:YouTube 💽 Order Sounds for Your Happiness: Bandcamp
🔥 A Vision of Darkness and Redemption Filmed across Bangkok, Thailand, and Manchester, UK, Pound of Flesh marks ESA’s most ambitious visual journey yet. Starring Tan Toafa Maneepasopchock (Gotham, Oceans 10) and Panita Hutacharern, alongside a cast of Thai actors, the film weaves a story of torment, astral projection, and spiritual decay.
The narrative follows a soul plagued by inner demons who learns to leap between bodies through astral projection—only to discover that pain cannot be escaped, merely transferred. As madness spreads through each new vessel, the demons close in, leading to an explosive exorcism sequence that blurs the line between spiritual horror and industrial art.
🎞️ A Sonic and Visual Obsession Blacker describes Pound of Flesh as both “a powerful narrative experience” and “a love letter to Thailand,” a country that has deeply influenced his creative evolution. The film’s haunting visuals pair perfectly with ESA’s grinding, genre-defying soundtrack—a fusion of EBM, industrial, black metal, dark ambient, punk, techno, and power noise.
As ESA declares:
“I’m moving into the place between the walls you made for me.”
⚡ About the Album — Sounds for Your Happiness A ferocious blend of chaos and catharsis, Sounds for Your Happiness channels everything from Gesaffelstein to Godflesh, Ulver, and Pitchshifter, crafting a brutal electronic odyssey that’s both punishing and euphoric.

💀 A brutal bilingual anthem of betrayal, rage, and rebellion
Industrial-electro legends HOCICO have joined forces with Rafael Reyes (PRAYERS) to deliver one of their most ferocious collaborations yet — “Hey Tú!”. This blistering fusion of Mexican industrial fury and cholo goth defiance burns with raw energy, unapologetic truth, and pure sonic fire.
“Hey Tú!” hits like a digital riot — fast-paced, venomous, and impossible not to move to. Fueled by Hocico’s signature EBM venom and PRAYERS’ dark swagger, the track unleashes a violent mix of industrial beats, jagged basslines, and bilingual lyrical carnage. The chemistry between Erk Aicrag’s feral intensity and Rafael Reyes’ snarling presence is explosive — together, they embody two fearless voices of Latin darkness rising in unison.
🔥 Physical Release Details (Out December 19, 2025): Pre-order now ➤ hocico.lnk.to/HeyTu
Lyrically, “Hey Tú!” is pure confrontation — a bilingual declaration of war against betrayal, hypocrisy, and false mysticism. From “You’re a poser, you’re a loser, you’re a fucking fake” to “Soy el infierno que viene por más,” this track spits truth and fire with no apologies. It’s a sonic exorcism, a manifesto of resistance, and a call to reclaim power.
💣 “Hey Tú!” is a battle cry — Hocico and Prayers united in fury, rhythm, and rebellion.
German dark electro-pop visionaries ROTERSAND have dropped not one but two electrifying singles — “It Was Night” (released September 5th) and “Train” (out now, October 3rd) — further expanding the digital edition of their latest full-length album Don’t Become The Thing You Hated. Both tracks were previously available only on the CD version and are now streaming globally.
The new material continues the duo’s signature balance of brooding atmosphere and intelligent rhythm, uniting philosophical reflection with sharp-edged electronic craftsmanship. These songs arrive as part of the ongoing evolution of Rascal Nikov (vocals, electronics) and Krischan Jan-Eric Wesenberg (electronics), whose work has long blurred the lines between dancefloor power and emotional introspection.
💀 A Dark Reflection of Modern Times Following their previous singles “Private Firmament (I Fell For You)” and “Sexiness of Slow,” the album stands as both a cultural critique and a sonic manifesto. Don’t Become The Thing You Hated captures the existential unease of an era defined by division and disillusionment. ROTERSAND uses their trademark precision sound design to question how, in fighting oppression and ignorance, one might risk adopting the same destructive tendencies they resist.
Their latest offerings—“It Was Night” and “Train”—fuse propulsive industrial-electronic energy with haunting melodic beauty. The result is a sound both intellectual and visceral: densely layered synthscapes, crisp percussion, and an emotive tension that mirrors the contradictions of our age.
💀 The Message Beneath the Machines Lyrically, these songs extend the philosophical pulse of the album—inviting listeners to reflect on complicity, anger, and empathy in a world that thrives on chaos. ROTERSAND’s latest work doesn’t just provide a soundtrack for dark nights of the soul—it demands introspection, calling for vigilance against the forces that distort truth and erode identity.
🖤 Don’t Become The Thing You Hated — Out Now Tracklisting:
Industrial darkwave innovators FIX8:SED8 have released the Octagram (Deluxe Edition), giving fans an expanded and enhanced journey into their signature sound. This deluxe edition offers reimagined tracks, exclusive remixes, and bonus material that deepens the immersive, haunting atmospheres fans have come to expect from the project.

Dark electro visionary Sapphira Vee has just unveiled her upcoming release, Unfolding, a deeply personal and atmospheric exploration set to captivate listeners across the darkwave and industrial spectrum. The announcement marks a new era for the artist, known for weaving ethereal melodies, brooding electronics, and raw emotional power into immersive soundscapes.
🌑 A New Chapter in Sound and Spirit
“Unfolding” promises to dive deep into themes of self-discovery, resilience, and metamorphosis — a reflection on emerging from chaos and reclaiming strength. With lush textures, haunting vocals, and cinematic production, this release is shaping up to be one of Sapphira Vee’s most evocative works to date.
Fans can expect the signature fusion of dark electronic atmospheres and emotive storytelling that have defined her sound and earned her a loyal following across the global underground scene.
The pulse of the underground just got louder — ULTRA SUNN return with their electrifying new single, The Beast In You, now available across all platforms. The track strikes with the signature blend of darkwave, EBM, and post-punk energy that has made the Brussels duo one of the most commanding forces in modern electronic music.
The Beast In You prowls through the depths of human emotion — confronting the duality within us all. It’s a sonic exploration of instinct, fear, and control, set to throbbing basslines, haunting synths, and hypnotic vocals. This is ULTRA SUNN at their most visceral and cinematic, balancing aggression and elegance in a perfectly controlled storm of sound.
The digital decay continues as OneZeroCypher unleashes their latest dark electronic opus, Fractured Memories, out now through DSBP Records. This release dives deep into the psychological breakdown of memory, emotion, and machine consciousness—where industrial rhythms grind against cybernetic despair.
Fusing elements of EBM, dark electro, and technoid distortion, Fractured Memories captures the essence of post-human reflection. It’s an auditory labyrinth where logic fails, identity fractures, and the cold pulse of machinery becomes the only heartbeat left. Every track feels like a corrupted data fragment—echoing pain, resistance, and resurrection within the circuitry.
Each beat carries the raw tension of isolation and the beauty of collapse. For fans of Mentallo & The Fixer, Front Line Assembly, and Velvet Acid Christ, this is the perfect transmission from the void.
Electro-industrial duo KLACK has surprised fans with a brand-new live release, In Case You Didn’t Feel Like Staying Up (Live), captured during their electrifying performance at the Cold Waves XIII afterparty last Saturday.
🎶 A Night Worth Reliving
KLACK’s set at the Chicago festival afterparty showcased their trademark retro-future EBM stomp, synth grit, and dancefloor nostalgia, fueling an already unforgettable weekend for the industrial community. The duo recorded the performance in full and decided to release it for fans—whether you were there moshing in the crowd or tuning in from afar, now you can relive the moment.
🔥 The Cold Waves Legacy
Now in its thirteenth year, Cold Waves has become one of the most vital gatherings for industrial, post-punk, and electronic music fans worldwide. KLACK’s afterparty performance cemented their role as one of the scene’s most exciting modern acts bridging classic body music with fresh, forward-looking energy. This live release feels like both a celebration of the festival’s legacy and a testament to KLACK’s ever-growing reputation.
🤝 Music with Purpose
KLACK isn’t just about beats—they’re about community. To that end, all profits from the release this weekend will be donated to DARKEST BEFORE DAWN, a nonprofit charity that supports nightlife, hospitality, and music industry workers through mental health services and crisis aid. By picking up the album, fans can experience the raw electricity of the show while directly supporting a cause tied to the music community.
Industrial noise entity VERFÜHRERVERGELTER has just dropped their latest transmission, Post-Void / Pre-Body—a release that blurs the line between collapse and rebirth, silence and circuitry, decay and resurrection.
⚡ A Harsh Emission from the In-Between The release arrives as five sonic bursts described as “transmitted from the primordial soup of decomposed flesh and corroded PCBs.” Post-Void / Pre-Body is not crafted as a soundtrack or a traditional soundscape—it’s a raw dissection, an exposed noise corpus stitched together from tissue, glitches, and electronic residue.
💀 Between Rot and Simulation With each track, VERFÜHRERVERGELTER drags the listener through liminal corridors:
Between shutdown and reboot.
Between rot and simulation.
Between meaning and total refusal.
The result is a chaotic yet strangely autonomic pulse—harsh noise refusing narrative, rejecting closure, and leaving behind only corrupted fragments.
🔥 The Artist Speaks in Transmission As VERFÜHRERVERGELTER declares:
“Every transmission is a scream. But no one remembers how to listen. Corruption complete. Still leaking… No closure. No cleanse.”
Canadian industrial/electronic duo Antigen Shift return with their brand-new release Superheavy Particle, unleashed today through Artoffact Records.
Led by Nick Thériault and Jairus Khan, Antigen Shift carve out their signature sound—an electrifying hybrid of industrial noise, dark EBM, and cinematic textures. Superheavy Particle is one of their most ambitious works to date, fusing tense atmospheres, glitch-laced rhythms, and distorted electronics into a sonic force that is both visceral and immersive.
A recent teaser offers a glimpse of the album’s soundscape, showcasing Antigen Shift’s ability to balance chaos and control with masterful precision.
Formed in the early 2000s, Antigen Shift began as Thériault’s solo project before Khan joined, transforming the act into a formidable duo. Over two decades, they’ve released material on labels like Ad Noiseam, Frozen Empire Media, and Spectre, steadily building a reputation for fearless experimentation.
In 2024, Antigen Shift signed with Artoffact Records, bringing their back catalog under the label’s wing. Since then, they’ve reissued classic albums like Brotherhood and dropped powerful new singles including “Because I Want,” further cementing their place in the global industrial/electronic underground.
Known for their thunderous live sets, Antigen Shift has performed at international festivals such as Machinenfest, Kinetik, and Convergence, where they translate studio complexity into ferocious, floor-shaking energy.
Together, Thériault and Khan embody a relentless drive to push the boundaries of electronic music—merging aggression, emotion, and innovation into every release.
Industrial innovator Author & Punisher (aka Tristan Shone) has released the third and final single, “Titmouse”, ahead of his highly anticipated new album Nocturnal Birding, arriving October 3, 2025 via Relapse Records.
🖤 A Sonic Trek Through Fatigue & Survival
“Titmouse” is one of Shone’s most intricate compositions to date—layering pounding machine rhythms, dense synths, mechanical guitars, and guttural vocals into what he describes as a “topographical trek.” Lyrically, the track confronts the mental and physical exhaustion of migration, evoking the relentless endurance demanded when traversing vast landscapes with minimal supplies.
Shone explains: “‘Titmouse’ pushes me technically and physically as a performer. It’s a grueling track that mirrors the struggles it’s inspired by, carrying the listener through waves of exhaustion and perseverance.”
🐦 Birds as Blueprints
Much of Nocturnal Birding takes direct inspiration from avian life, with riffs, rhythms, and melodies drawn from the tonal patterns of actual bird calls. Earlier singles like “Titanis” and “Thrush” showcased this unique sonic methodology, while “Titmouse” pushes the concept further—transforming birdsong into industrial weaponry.
