Industrial chaos engine Gasoline Invertebrate has just announced their latest creation: Misery Monster. This new release promises a venomous blend of pounding electronics, razor-sharp beats, and the kind of dark sonic mischief fans have come to crave.
Industrial juggernaut Dependent Records just dropped a colossal wave of reissues and special editions, spotlighting legendary pioneers Die Krupps alongside the dark electronics of FIX8:SED8. This release series digs deep into the archives, bringing back groundbreaking albums that shaped the industrial and EBM landscape while giving longtime fans a fresh chance to own definitive editions.
The new catalog reintroduces several milestones from Die Krupps, spanning their early industrial experiments to their metallic industrial crossover era. Included in the rollout are:
Each release highlights the enduring legacy of Die Krupps, a band that blurred the lines between steel, sweat, and circuitry, leaving an indelible mark on industrial music.
Alongside the Die Krupps onslaught, Dependent Records also dropped The Unborn by FIX8:SED8, a record praised for its cinematic atmospheres and sinister dark electro textures. A must-have for fans of brooding soundscapes and retro-futuristic darkness.

Industrial chaos-agent Caustic has officially unleashed FIEND II into the world — no teasers, no countdowns, just pure shock-and-drop energy. Known for breaking rules and burning convention to the ground, Caustic once again flips the script with an album release that comes screaming straight from the underground.
In true Caustic fashion, the announcement came raw and unfiltered:
“F–K IT! Let’s get this out. FIEND II is released! I’m sick of waiting. Thanks to everyone who preordered, and enjoy the album.”
That’s it — no PR gloss, no delay, just a direct hit from Caustic’s sonic arsenal.
The first FIEND installment was already a snarling beast, and FIEND II doesn’t just pick up where it left off — it tears open new wounds. Expect pulverizing beats, searing distortion, and Caustic’s trademark venom, balancing between brutal catharsis and electronic anarchy.

Two underground heavyweights — Daniel McCullough of Silver Walks and Athan Maroulis of NØIR — have joined forces for a chilling reinterpretation of Cyberaktif’s legendary Wax Trax! classic “Nothing Stays.” This haunting cover marks the first new material from either project in quite some time, and it’s every bit as dark, layered, and timely as you’d hope.
True to its name, “Nothing Stays” embodies the fractured, borderless world we live in. Not a single artist involved was ever in the same room.
The result? A globe-spanning collaboration that still feels like it was conjured in one shadowy, smoke-filled studio.
Alongside the main track, the EP comes armed with beat-heavy, floor-destroying remixes courtesy of S Y Z Y G Y X, genCAB, and KLACK — each pushing the song into fresh, pulsing territory for DJs and dark music devotees alike.
Released via the Pittsburgh-based Distortion Productions, “Nothing Stays” is now available across all major digital and streaming platforms.
Blvsphemy Records has dropped a sinister new release, giving Biocarbon13’s “Wrong Shade of Black” a fresh, venomous twist courtesy of Arzenik. This remix plunges deeper into the industrial void, layering distortion, menace, and pounding rhythms that drag you into its dark embrace.
Arzenik injects an entirely new pulse into the track, amplifying its bleak atmospherics while keeping Biocarbon13’s raw intensity intact. The remix twists familiar shadows into sharper edges — this isn’t just a reimagining, it’s an escalation.
Biocarbon13 has consistently delivered cutting-edge industrial soundscapes, and this collaboration with Blvsphemy Records and Arzenik proves the project’s ability to evolve without compromise. “Wrong Shade of Black (Arzenik Remix)” stands as a testament to dark creativity — unapologetic, abrasive, and impossible to ignore.
🔥 DSBP Records has dropped a brand-new sonic inferno — Only Ashes Remain from CyberLich

MIKROMETRIK has just released their new single, “P.O.F.O.K.O.” This dark electro mantra, built on heavy beats and distortion, is the first single from the band’s upcoming album, “Hell is Empty,” set to be released in 2026. The track, an industrial ritual for the dancefloor, takes its name from the phrase “People Only Feed On Killing Others,” forging rage, frustration, and raw truth into sound.
OMEN CODE, a new rising star in the EBM scene, has revealed their grim cyberpunk track, “Brutal + Pure.” This is the first single from their forthcoming debut album, “Alpha State.” The London, England-based duo, consisting of programmer and engineer Kevin Gould (formerly of Electro Assassin) and vocalist Agi Taralas (formerly of Our Banshee), creates a dark, gritty, industrial sound with captivating mid-tempo tracks that evoke a dystopian future.
Additional singles will be released over the next few months, leading up to the highly anticipated “Alpha State” album, which will be released by Dependent Records of Germany on December 5, 2025.

The release of Death Kiss has been preceded by three singles. “Black Lipstick” set the stage with its distinct synth-driven sound, followed by “Start A War,” which brought a new level of rhythmic intensity. The most recent single, “You Are Empty,” further expanded the album’s sonic palette with its haunting melodies.
Fans who pre-order the album will receive an instant download of all three singles.
Known for their unique blend of pulsing rhythms and atmospheric textures, Maduro has carved out a distinct space in the electronic music scene. Their music is both a homage to the pioneers of EBM and a bold step into new sonic territory.

Industrial music provocateurs spankthenun have released a new project titled BLAK, which they are presenting not as a traditional album but as a “declassified sonic dossier.” The release is framed as an urgent advisory to the public, warning of an “imminent data release” detailing a phenomenon described as a subculture unified by a stark, dark aesthetic.
The band states that the project is a deep-field study into a “memetic contagion” and that the tracks themselves are “stabilizations” of data. These sonic interpretations include “The Singularity Edit,” which represents an act of separation from the mainstream, and “The Event Horizon Edit,” which explores the boundary of this subculture. A third track, “The Absolute Zero Rendition,” captures what the band calls the sound of “elegant, defiant isolation.”
In a statement, the band acknowledged their role in the phenomenon, saying, “We were not composing; we were documenting a memetic contagion…This release is a warning, an invitation, and a confession. We are all part of the experiment now.”
BLAK is now available on all major streaming platforms, with exclusive versions offered on their Bandcamp page.
BLAK is a chilling and atmospheric release that pushes the boundaries of industrial music, delivering a soundscape that is both immersive and unsettling. The project’s unique conceptual framing as a government-style data release adds to its intrigue and artistic weight. It is a must-listen for fans of industrial, darkwave, and experimental electronic music.

Brace yourself for a full-frontal sonic assault as FRONTAL BOUNDARY unleash “Hate”, the explosive new EP that marks the band’s first strike from their upcoming full-length album “Failure” – and also celebrates their signing to leading electro-industrial label Alfa Matrix, home to genre-defining acts like FRONT 242, UNTER NULL, POUPPEE FABRIKK, ALIEN VAMPIRES or yet KOMOR KOMMANDO.
With “Hate”, FRONTAL BOUNDARY channels raw aggression and emotional turmoil into a blistering EBM/industrial anthem. “This track voices the fury felt toward those who constantly try to keep you down”, explains vocalist Krz Souls. Brendin Ross (ex-BILE, ex-INVA//ID, Dawn of Ashes, and Bornless Fire), the band’s founding member and instrumental powerhouse behind FRONTAL BOUNDARY is indeed joined by Krz Souls (ex-INVA//ID, Dawn of Ashes, Bornless Fire) on vocals and Jaysen Craves (Livernois) on synths.
Melding fire and ice, chaos and control, FRONTAL BOUNDARY’s signature sound fuses dense industrial rhythms, driving EBM beats, dark melodic leads, and infectious synthpop textures – topped with harsh, emotional vocals that sometimes veer into future pop territory. Fans of SUICIDE COMMANDO, C-LEKKTOR, COMBICHRIST, LEAETHER STRIP and ROTERSAND will feel right at home.
The “Hate” EP also includes club-destroying remixes by American industrial force FACT PATTERN and cult Alfa Matrix label-mate UNTER NULL, adding new layers of intensity to an already volatile release.
“Hate” is not just a song – it’s a statement. Welcome to FRONTAL BOUNDARY. Resistance is futile.
After smashing expectations with her previous single and reigniting the fire of UNTER NULL, Erica Dunham returns with a vengeance. Her new EP, “You Made A Monster,” is a brutal, no-holds-barred confrontation with trauma, betrayal, and the silent complicity that empowers abusers.
Fueled by raw emotion and cutting honesty, the title track is a devastating dark elektro anthem built from real-life scars. It drags narcissistic abuse and its enablers into the harsh light, pulling no punches: “You knew what he did / You knew of his lies / You gave up your morals for your motherfucking pride.” This is not a song of defeat – it’s a battle cry. A reclaiming of power. A voice for the erased.
“I wrote this because I was tired of being erased”, says Erica. “It’s for anyone who has screamed the truth into a void while everyone else nodded along with the abuser”.
Also featured is the haunting yet defiant “Coming Up To Breathe”, reimagined as well in three powerful remixes: C-LEKKTOR brings his signature dark pulse, LEAETHER STRIP injects classic EBM fire with a melodic touch, and rising force FRONTAL BOUNDARY adds a fierce modern twist.
“You Made A Monster” is not just an EP. It’s a statement. It’s UNTER NULL – louder, stronger, and more intentional than ever. Play it loud. Feel every word. And never be silent again.

Flesh Field resurrects its monumental debut, Viral Extinction, now fully remastered and available once again to ignite speakers and summon shadows. Originally released in 1999, the album fused cinematic electronics, fierce guitar work, militant percussion, and choral samples into a signature sound that pushed the boundaries of industrial music.
📅 Viral Extinction returns on June 27th, 2025, via Metropolis Records and includes the haunting new single:
🎧 “Where Angels Go to Die” — a darkly angelic descent into spiritual decay, described by Ian Ross as “apocalyptic in language, but musically designed to feel beautifully bleak.”
Formed by Ian Ross in Columbus, Ohio in 1996, Flesh Field erupted onto the scene with an aggressive yet orchestrally grand vision of electro-industrial. Their debut, Viral Extinction, quickly earned attention for its layered textures and dramatic sonic architecture—setting a benchmark for dark electronic music at the turn of the millennium.
After releasing the Redemption remix EP in 2000 and the critically lauded albums Belief Control (2001) and Strain (2004), the project went silent. Despite that, Flesh Field’s music endured—appearing in the soundtracks of True Blood, The Mill, and Project Gotham Racing.
Ross eventually reemerged in 2023 with the concept album Voice of the Echo Chamber, examining the psychology of political radicalization. A companion EP, Voice of Reason, followed in 2024.
Now, 25 years after its initial release, Viral Extinction is reborn—remastered and once again relevant in a world teetering on its own digital precipice.
Re:Mission Entertainment just announced Conflicted, the forthcoming album from Fermion, dropping July 25th—and it’s already being hailed as their most intense and fully realized release yet.
The New Jersey-based duo, Augustine Backer and Eric Shans, have been steadily pushing the boundaries of modern electronic music. With Conflicted, they channel the raw emotion of synth-driven melodies into pounding, dystopian rhythms that blur the line between EBM, industrial, darkwave, and synthwave—offering a sonic journey that’s as introspective as it is danceable.
Stay tuned for pre-orders, track previews, and a full breakdown of the album’s conceptual themes, which promise to strike deep into the tension between self-awareness and struggle.

French darksynth icon Perturbator (James Kent) has announced his upcoming full-length album, Age of Aquarius, set for release on October 10, 2025 via Nuclear Blast Records. This will mark his debut on the legendary metal label, and the album’s thematic focus splits between misanthropy and violent collapse on one side… and the flames of free will on the other. Welcome to the revolution.
The album’s first single, “Apocalypse Now,” is a brooding, cinematic track featuring a powerful guest appearance from Ulver’s Kristoffer Rygg. The accompanying music video—directed by longtime visual collaborator David Fitt—offers a stark and surreal visualization of society spiraling into chaos.
“The first half of the album explores misanthropy and violence,” Kent explains. “The second half reflects the strength of the individual and the rejection of the herd.”
Across its 11 tracks, Age of Aquarius takes listeners through war-torn dreamscapes, haunted cityscapes, and introspective spirals. Kent, known for his genre-bending fusion of synthwave, industrial, and post-punk, goes deeper than ever into existential and societal fractures. It’s as philosophical as it is visceral.
Guest collaborations read like a who’s who of dark sonic alchemy:
Fans can now pre-order the album via Bandcamp and Nuclear Blast. Formats include:

The cyber apocalypse starts now as Tim Skold launches his first shot from the upcoming album Caught In The Throes.
💥 AI, Identity, and the Death of Humanity
Today, June 27, SKOLD has unveiled “All Humans Must Be Destroyed”, the first single from his forthcoming full-length album, Caught In The Throes. This aggressive new track doesn’t hold back—blending mechanized industrial rhythms with lyrical themes of artificial intelligence, dehumanization, and a cold suspicion that some people might already be… machines.
SKOLD’s icy snarl cuts through the noise, asking uncomfortable questions about reality and the very nature of what it means to be human.
🎛 A Legacy Forged in Chaos and Machines
The solo project of Tim Skold, the Swedish multi-instrumentalist, producer, and sonic chameleon, SKOLD has spent decades crafting metallic soundscapes and dystopian anthems.
He first emerged from the ‘80s glam wreckage with Shotgun Messiah, before launching his solo career in 1996 with the RCA release Skold—featuring cult hits like “Chaos” and “Hail Mary.” His resume reads like a roadmap through industrial history:
🩸 Beyond the Solo Realm
Skold has also left his fingerprints on other corners of the heavy music world:

Obedience is over. Devotion is dead. Now we bite.
Industrial juggernauts spankthenun return with their latest sonic revolt, “Sucking”—a vicious new single that rips the mask off blind faith and servitude.
🔥 “We are raised to obey, kneel, and drink in the lies like milk from a holy breast…”
This isn’t just music—it’s war against indoctrination. With brutal beats and seething vocals, Sucking is a raw exorcism of the control systems dressed as care, of religion dressed as love, of every leash disguised as purpose.
A filthy, blistering anthem for the disobedient, Sucking snarls against the suffocating grip of forced devotion:
🐕 “Trained to serve, worship, and forget we have teeth… but now we bite back.”
Whether you’ve felt the noose of doctrine or the collar of conformity—this track is for you. Crank it. Shatter the silence. Sink your teeth in.

EBM pioneer remembered for his raw vocals, anti-authoritarian lyrics, and uncompromising legacy in industrial music
Douglas McCarthy, the commanding voice of Nitzer Ebb and a trailblazer of Electronic Body Music (EBM), has died at the age of 58. The band confirmed his passing on social media, asking fans to respect the privacy of McCarthy’s wife and family during this difficult time. No official cause of death has been disclosed, though McCarthy had previously revealed he was battling liver cirrhosis and had stepped back from touring in 2023.
McCarthy’s snarling, confrontational vocal style became the signature of Nitzer Ebb, a band that fused punk’s fury with industrial dancefloor power. From the drill-sergeant intensity of “Join in the Chant” to the swaggering chaos of “Fun to Be Had,” McCarthy’s delivery cut through robotic drums and menacing synths with visceral force.
He didn’t just sing—he commanded. Tracks like “Let Your Body Learn” and “Murderous” weren’t just club hits; they were marching orders for a new wave of outsiders ready to break free from conformity and musical cliché.
“Everything we do should be able to surprise people,” McCarthy told Spin in 1992. “To us, Nitzer Ebb represents a different way of looking at music.”
Formed in 1982 in Chelmsford, England, Nitzer Ebb was founded by McCarthy, Bon Harris, and David Gooday—schoolmates with a shared taste for sonic rebellion. Their band name, cobbled together from cut-up newspaper clippings, reflected the abstract, jagged energy of their music—lean, muscular electronics with zero fluff.
Their 1987 debut That Total Age became a cult industrial landmark, while follow-up albums Belief, Showtime, and Ebbhead pushed their sound into darker, more experimental terrain. Collaborations with Depeche Mode’s Alan Wilder, especially on Ebbhead and later through Recoil, helped refine their blend of brutality and elegance.
McCarthy once said his stage persona was inspired by witnessing Nick Cave perform with The Birthday Party—a moment that confirmed for him the importance of forging an identity that screamed: “Fuck everyone.”
After Ebbhead, McCarthy joined Wilder’s Recoil, lending his voice to haunting tracks like “The Faith Healer,” “Stalker,” and “Incubus.” He also launched Fixmer/McCarthy with techno producer Terence Fixmer, and released his only solo album, Kill Your Friends, in 2013.
Despite these detours, McCarthy never left Nitzer Ebb behind for long. The band reunited in 2006 and returned with 2010’s Industrial Complex and 2011’s Join in the Rhythm of Machines EP. Their sound found new fans through placements in Saw sequels and Grand Theft Auto IV, where “Let Your Body Learn” made a fierce reappearance.
In 2021, McCarthy collapsed on stage in Florida due to post-COVID complications but insisted on continuing the tour. In 2023, he announced his temporary retirement from performing, citing a long recovery from liver cirrhosis. “For over two years, I haven’t been drinking, but recovery is a long process that can at times be extremely hard to predict,” he wrote.
Even with these setbacks, his presence in the industrial scene remained undiminished—his voice and spirit forever entwined with the genre’s DNA.
Douglas McCarthy wasn’t just a frontman—he was an antihero of the underground, a defiant force who rejected conformity and embraced confrontation. Whether barking over EBM rhythms, collaborating with electronic legends, or baring his soul through minimal, cutting lyrics, he left an indelible mark on music that valued authenticity over approval.
“Even if there are missteps,” he told San Francisco Bay Area Concerts in 2019, “I think the purity of what we were—or are—trying to get is indicative of the time and place.”
He never wanted to fit in. And that’s exactly why we’ll never forget him.
Rammstein Frontman Ignites the Festival Season with a Haunting New Solo Anthem via Out Of Line Music
Till Lindemann, the iconic and polarizing voice of RAMMSTEIN, has dropped a brand-new solo single, “Und Die Engel Singen”, alongside a visually striking official music video now streaming on his YouTube channel. Released through Out Of Line Music, the track marks a bold entry into Lindemann’s festival campaign for 2025, fusing his signature theatrical power with a haunting, melodic undercurrent.
🖤 “Und Die Engel Singen” is available for pre-order now in a variety of collector formats, including:
📦 All physical editions will ship on August 8, 2025, just in time for the heat of summer tour season.
Lindemann previously dropped the solo track “Meine Welt” in December 2024, a release that stood apart from his debut solo album ZUNGE (November 2024). While not included on ZUNGE, both tracks continue to shape a compelling solo vision, separate from his work with RAMMSTEIN.
Till Lindemann wrapped his first-ever North American solo tour in late 2024, backed by a formidable lineup:
Now, he’s preparing to dominate stages across Europe with a massive solo festival tour through summer 2025, followed by his Meine Welt European headline tour in October 2025, with Aesthetic Perfection as the special guest.
In August 2023, German prosecutors dropped all investigations into accusations of sexual misconduct against Lindemann, citing lack of evidence. Lindemann has consistently denied the allegations, with his legal team branding them “without exception untrue.” The controversy, while sparking media debate, did not stop Lindemann’s artistic momentum.
Hot off Rammstein’s 2024 European stadium tour, Lindemann continues forging a bold solo path, balancing industrial aggression, lyrical provocation, and gothic grandeur.
👉 Pre-order “Und Die Engel Singen” now and immerse yourself in the latest dark vision from one of music’s most notorious figures.
