DarkHeart Syndicate Reveal New Single “Behind My Eyes”

Leave a comment

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.

Dark. Descent. Summons a New Era of Shadows with Collected: Into the Dark Lands – Chronicles of the Pale Wanderer: The Remixes 💀

Leave a comment

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.

CAUSTIC Resurfaces the Infamous “This Is Jizzcore: PreJizz EPs (2008)” — A Digital Time Capsule Reopened 💀

Leave a comment

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)” 💀

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.

Mortal Realm

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.

💀 Celldweller Warps the Holidays with An Offworld Christmas — Out Now via FiXT

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.

Celldweller Ignites a New Era with “Fakebreaker” 💀

The legendary producer returns after nearly five years with an apocalyptic fusion of industrial metal and electronic chaos.

⚡ Explosive Comeback
After years of silence on the vocal front, Celldweller — the brainchild of multi-genre mastermind Klayton — has re-emerged with a thunderous new single, “Fakebreaker.” This marks his first full-vocal release in nearly five years, and it’s a sonic firestorm that blends industrial metal, electronic rock, and cinematic bass energy into one devastating package.

Teaming up with dark-bass producer SWARM and vocalist/producer REEBZ, Celldweller delivers a soundscape that’s part cybernetic warfare, part emotional exorcism. Expect thunderous guitars, mechanical grooves, and distorted synths that explode into a dystopian frenzy.

🎛 The Story Behind the Sound
Klayton revealed that the project began unexpectedly:

“A 303 acid bassline and a breakbeat… this was a demo for my project FreqGen. While building my new studio, ‘Fakebreaker’ developed into a monster.”

As the track evolved, he enlisted REEBZ for her fierce vocal layering and SWARM for his retro-infused dark electronic textures. The collaboration created a high-impact track that merges three creative visions into one unstoppable sonic juggernaut.

💥 Cinematic Visuals & Future Vision
Accompanying the single is a video game-inspired visual where Klayton and REEBZ navigate a neon-drenched digital battlefield — a chaotic visual extension of the track’s post-apocalyptic themes. The release also teases the next phase of Celldweller’s evolution, rumored to build toward his upcoming “God Mode” EP under FiXT.

For long-time fans, this is more than a comeback — it’s a resurgence. For new listeners, it’s a warning shot: Celldweller is still the architect of industrial revolution in modern electronic music.

Flesh Field Unveils Remastered Single ‘Allegiance’ Ahead of Belief Control Reissue

The US electro-industrial act Flesh Field, led by founder Ian Ross, has just released a new single, “Allegiance.” This 2025 remastered version of the song is a taste of the forthcoming reissue of the group’s second album, Belief Control, which is set for release on October 31, 2025, via Metropolis Records.

This remastered version of “Allegiance” continues the momentum of Flesh Field’s resurrection. The group returned to the scene in 2023 with the new album Voice Of The Echo Chamber, followed by the Voice Of Reason EP in early 2024. In June 2025, they reissued a remastered version of their 1999 debut, Viral Extinction, as part of Metropolis Records’ plan to re-release the entire back catalog.

Originally released in 2001, Belief Control solidified Flesh Field’s status in the electro-industrial scene with its bombastic symphonic elements and intricate programming. After a hiatus that lasted nearly two decades, the band’s music remained relevant, appearing in TV shows like True Blood and video games like Project Gotham Racing.

BEYOND THE BLACK Teams Up with LORD OF THE LOST on New Single, Announces Upcoming Album, Releases Music Video

Symphonic metal sensation BEYOND THE BLACK is excited to share the third single from their eagerly awaited upcoming studio album, Break The Silence, which is set to be released on January 9, 2026, via Nuclear Blast Records.

The emotional anthem ‘The Art Of Being Alone’ features none other than Chris Harms of acclaimed German metal band Lord Of The Lost on guest vocals. The song deals with important contemporary issues such as mental health, self-empowerment, and positive life perception. A compelling video has also been released alongside the single, illustrating the feeling of being alone and cornered while ultimately showing a path to self-awareness and a way out of this mental prison.

Singer Jennifer Haben commented, “‘The Art Of Being Alone’ is one of the most emotional songs for us since it‘s born from personal battles and quiet reflections. We wanted it to be fragile and powerful at the same time and we believe many of you will find your own story between its lines. Having Chris Harms join us with his uniquely intense voice and personality felt absolutely perfect and brought a depth to this track that made it even more special.”

Chris Harms (Lord Of The Lost) added, “This duet was long overdue! For more than 10 years now, LORD OF THE LOST and BEYOND THE BLACK have been crossing paths — we like and appreciate each other and it was kind of obvious that Jenny’s and my voices would work great together. Now we’ve finally made it happen and created this powerful, goosebump-inducing song together! I’m really happy about it!”

BEYOND THE BLACK’s sixth full-length album, Break The Silence, is a concept album rooted in melodic metal with ethno influences. It explores themes of communication, inner strength, resilience, and the urgent need to reconnect in a divided world. Tracks like ‘Let There Be Rain’, ‘(La Vie Est Un) Cinéma’, ‘Ravens’, and ‘The Flood’ examine how words – and their absence – shape our reality. It is an emotional, multi-layered experience that mirrors today’s complex world and invites fans to be part of this new chapter.

  1. Rising High
  2. Break The Silence
  3. The Art Of Being Alone (feat. Lord Of The Lost)

SpanktheNUN Declassifies New Project, BLAK

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.

On June 20th, I released the long-awaited reissue of my debut album. This isn’t just a simple re-release; it’s a complete reinvention of the 2005 original, rebuilt from the ground up using all the original samples and synthesizers.

🎧🎶 New Music Alert: METROLAND, SYNAPSYCHE, and ELEKTROSTAUB Unleash New EPs! 🎧

Get ready for a triple dose of electronic goodness as METROLAND, SYNAPSYCHE, and ELEKTROSTAUB drop their latest EPs, each offering a unique sonic journey!

METROLAND – Reset EP

With “Reset,” Belgian conceptual techno-pop duo METROLAND delivers the fourth and final EP from their well-received album Forum. Inspired by the controversial World Economic Forum initiative, The Great Reset, this digital release marks not just the end of an EP cycle, but the culmination of METROLAND’s sonic exploration of global industrial evolution.

Anchored in critical reflection and forward-thinking beats, “Reset” offers two new versions of the original track: the compact yet dynamic “The Smaller Reset,” and its expansive, club-ready counterpart “The Greater Reset”—both infused with increased tempo and dancefloor energy. Adding further depth, the exclusive non-album track “Improving the State of the World” blends pop sensibility with pointed commentary, echoing the WEF’s aspirational slogans while inviting listeners to consider the implications of global decision-making. “Reset” is more than just a release—it is the final destination in METROLAND’s conceptual journey, closing the loop that began with “0” and reached its climax in “Forum.” The system is shutting down… ready for a reset?

SYNAPSYCHE – Muteness EP

After the sonic shockwave of “Deafness,” SYNAPSYCHE raises the stakes with “Muteness”—the second piece in their three-part concept around “Miscommunication,” dissecting the fear of self-expression in a world that rewards silence over truth. Some people never speak up. They sit on the sidelines, afraid to take a stand, blending into the background to maintain their fragile social acceptance. But silence is complicity. And SYNAPSYCHE is here to shatter the quiet with a firestorm of brutal beats, razor-sharp synths, and vocals that swing between venomous growls, electrifying clean hooks, and even a touch of rap-infused aggression. This explosive EP is backed by a dark-pop rework of FLEETWOOD MAC’s “Little Lies” and a ruthless remix of “Anti Manifesto” by STATIK SEKT—two reinventions that push the band’s boundaries even further. No more hiding. No more hesitation. Shut your muteness up and scream with SYNAPSYCHE!

ELEKTROSTAUB – Falling EP

ELEKTROSTAUB is back with “Falling”—an irresistible future pop anthem destined to ignite dancefloors.

🎧🎶 HOCICO Unleashes New Single “Brainrot”! 🎧

Mexico’s electro-industrial juggernauts HOCICO once again plunge into the dystopian psyche of the digital era. Erk Aicrag and Racso Agroyam return with a visceral, unrelenting track that strips away the glossy veneer of online life and exposes the rot festering beneath.

If The Screen was a direct attack on the anonymity of internet cruelty, “Brainrot” dives even deeper, capturing the suffocating grip of algorithmic addiction. It’s a grotesque ballet of dopamine, dependency, and despair, screamed through Erk’s searing vocals and wrapped in Racso’s hellish production.

Musically, “Brainrot” marks a bold evolution in Hocico’s sound. Infused with aggressive drum and bass influences, it hits with a hyperkinetic energy that feels both chaotic and meticulously controlled. The track seamlessly fuses this rhythmic onslaught with the duo’s signature industrial brutality and aggrotech venom, creating a sound that feels both fresh and devastatingly familiar. This is not a trend-following experiment—it’s a fully weaponized Hocico beatdown, sharpened for the digital battlefield.

From the very first line, “Plug me in, I’m a slave to the screen,” the listener is dragged into a world where identity, free will, and humanity are systematically dismantled by our tech overlords. The lyrics are a cyberpunk confession: raw, paranoid, and disturbingly accurate. Lines like “I dance for the likes, I bleed for the views” hit like gut punches, capturing the performance anxiety and manufactured existence many experience but few dare to articulate.

The chorus, an unrelenting chant of “Brainrot!”, becomes a war cry and a diagnosis all at once. Each repetition digs deeper into the madness, like a virus rewriting the code of the self. The distorted synths and glitchy textures reflect the chaos of a mind being rewired for engagement, not meaning.

Hocico doesn’t just critique digital culture—they drag its corpse onto the stage, expose its entrails, and make you dance with it. The track’s final verse, “Now I’m the king of nothing but brainrot!”, isn’t just a lyric, it’s a warning: the more we feed the machine, the more it devours us.

With “Brainrot,” Hocico once again proves they are not just musicians but prophets of a dying age, screaming from the edge of digital oblivion. This isn’t just music, it’s a mirror. And you won’t like what you see.

HEADLESS Unveils New Single “Weightless” Ahead of Upcoming Album ‘Transitional Objects’

European progressive hard rock outfit HEADLESS has returned with their latest single, “Weightless,” available now on all streaming and download platforms. Fans can also watch the animated music video directed by Dime Stamenov (Sabaton, Uriah Heep, Saxon) HERE.

A Preview of ‘Transitional Objects’

“Weightless” serves as the first glimpse into HEADLESS’ forthcoming album, ‘Transitional Objects,’ set for release in late summer 2025. Mastered by Ted Jensen (Dream Theater, Metallica), the track encapsulates the band’s signature fusion of intricate guitar work, dynamic rhythms, and soaring melodic vocals.

Guitarist Walter Cianciusi describes the single as “a hyper-prog song” filled with complex rhythmic textures and a deeply personal lyrical theme:

“This single delivers a brand-new level of complexity. It’s a hyper-progressive song where the rhythm section creates an intricate tapestry at the limits of human performance. At the same time, the vocal melody remains smooth and uplifting, narrating the growing bond between a father and son.”

He further explains that the new album is:

“A no-frills heavy release featuring eight solid prog songs that mark the absolute peak of HEADLESS’ career. We achieved a level of chemistry and craftsmanship that will likely remain unparalleled in future releases.”

A Legacy of Excellence in Hard Rock and Progressive Metal

One of the defining elements of HEADLESS’ sound is the unmistakable voice of Göran Edman, the Swedish singer renowned for his work with Yngwie Malmsteen, John Norum, Vinnie Vincent, Madison, Swedish Erotica, Glory, Karmakanic, and many more.

Formed in 1996 by cousins Walter (guitars) and Enrico Cianciusi (drums), the band initially released ‘Future to Past’ (1996) and ‘Inside You’ (1998) before disbanding in 2000. Walter later revived the project in 2011 with a fresh lineup, incorporating elements of progressive metal, melodic rock, and AOR-style choruses.

The band’s comeback album ‘Growing Apart’ (2013) featured Queensrÿche’s Scott Rockenfield on drums, followed by ‘Melt the Ice Away’ (2016) (featuring Jim Matheos of Fates Warning). Their 2021 release, ‘Square One’, marked their debut with M-Theory Audio and introduced bassist Martin Helmantel (Elegy), further strengthening their sound.

Praised by Critics and Fans Alike

  • “The right combination of technique and melody.” – Metal Hammer
  • “Fans will find catchy choruses, excellent melodies, and well-crafted songs—a fine piece of hard rock.” – Metal Temple
  • “Flawless melodic hard rock.” – PowerMetal.de

A Respected Live Act Across Europe

HEADLESS has shared the stage with Geoff Tate, Fates Warning, Queensrÿche, Tygers of Pan Tang, Angra, Skid Row, Bonfire, D.A.D., Candlemass, The Dead Daisies, and more.

Guitarist Walter Cianciusi is currently on tour with David Ellefson and has previously toured with Geoff Tate, even appearing on his ‘Sweet Oblivion’ album.

HEADLESS is:

  • Göran Edman – Vocals
  • Walter Cianciusi – Guitars
  • Martin Helmantel – Bass Guitar
  • Enrico Cianciusi – Drums

These collectible versions highlight the track’s stark and confrontational aesthetic, with cover art featuring “Kill Till” spelled in Cyrillic, an apparent reference to past controversies.

A Remix from Avenged Sevenfold’s Zacky Vengeance

Adding a unique twist to the single, Lindemann enlisted Zacky Vengeance of Avenged Sevenfold to craft an exclusive remix of “Meine Welt,” injecting a fresh, aggressive dimension into the track. The collaboration merges Lindemann’s theatrical style with Vengeance’s hard-hitting guitar work, creating an electrifying reinterpretation.

The “Meine Welt” Tour: A Grand Spectacle Awaits

The release of “Meine Welt” sets the stage for Lindemann’s highly anticipated Meine Welt Tour 2025, kicking off on October 29, 2025, in Leipzig, Germany. The extensive tour will see Lindemann perform across multiple European cities, delivering his signature mix of industrial metal, theatrical storytelling, and boundary-pushing performances.

Taiwanese Industrial Powerhouses ANGER 奰 and HEXEN PROZESS Unleash ‘The Purge’: A Sonic Exploration of Modern-Day Witch Hunts

Taiwanese industrial force ANGER 奰 and HEXEN PROZESS unite in a powerful collaboration with their latest single, ‘The Purge,’ shedding light on contemporary witch hunts.

“Thou shall not negate the word of the lord.”

Scheduled for release on January 19th at 8:00 PM (GMT+8), The Purge is an unapologetically electronic track, boldly embracing punk influences both musically and lyrically. The song challenges the justification of ruining lives in the name of ideology, questioning whether such actions are a facade for hidden motives.

In the joint effort, ANGER 奰, led by its sole member BW, joins forces with John Gerteisen, the mind behind DIE SEKTOR classics like Deathkill and The Beating of Broken Wings (currently of HEXEN PROZESS). This collaboration aims to explore the dangerous intersection of noble causes, influence-building, and the potential for persecution masked behind a virtuous facade.

BW, the creative force behind ANGER 奰, expressed the inspiration behind the song, noting the exploitation of noble causes to establish influence and power. The Purge critically examines the contemporary landscape where individuals or entities can manipulate public sentiment to persecute, blackmail, or eliminate opponents, all while hiding behind a wall of perceived virtue.

The Purge is now available on Bandcamp, offering listeners a sonic exploration of these complex themes.

Looking ahead, ANGER 奰 and HEXEN PROZESS will reunite on the Outer Darkness: Inquisition Vol. 1 compilation, set for an early 2024 release on HEXEN PROZESS’s label, Outer Darkness Records (join ODR Discord for updates).

Follow ANGER 奰 on Bandcamp for future updates and delve into the electronic mayhem crafted by this one-man industrial project based in Taichung, Taiwan. Founded in late 2022 by BW, ANGER 奰 has made waves with releases like Cyberanarchia (Single), The End is Nigh (Single), and the recently released The Purge (Single). Anticipate the debut EP, Refutation of All Heresies, slated for March 15th, 2024, and the first full-length album, Grandiose Delusions, expected in Q3 2024.
