🎧🎶 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.

SPANKTHENUN, alongside twisted re-imaginings from CVRBON DECVY and Melody Whore, has just unveiled “PANOPTIKON,” a chillingly captivating 4-on-the-floor electro experience. This track serves as an ominous sonic tribute to Dallas’s iconic Panoptikon club, pulling you into its shadowy embrace.

🌑🔗 Obscura Secta’s “Crux Aeternum” – A 16-Minute Descent into Eternal Darkness, Unleashed by Room 23 Music! Explore the Relic Here! 🎧🖤

Room 23 Music has just unearthed a sonic artifact of profound darkness: “Crux Aeternum” by the enigmatic entity known as Obscura Secta. This isn’t merely a release; it’s a 16-minute invocation, a journey into a darkness not defined by the absence of light, but born from within – a seeping, sentient, and seemingly eternal presence. Prepare to tread the threshold between utter desolation and a terrifying form of revelation.

Obscura Secta emerges from the shadows, unbound by conventional reference, with “Crux Aeternum” unfolding across three distinct and unsettling movements. The first, “Ex Solis Umbra” (From the Shadow of the Sun), crawls forth with low-frequency pulses, the last vestiges of warmth extinguished by an unseen and total eclipse. It’s a slow, creeping dread that settles deep within the listener.

The second movement, “Via Lucida” (The Lucid Way), offers no true clarity or illumination. Instead, it presents only the agonizing flicker of brief insight, moments of piercing awareness that serve only to amplify the surrounding darkness. There is no comfort to be found on this path, only the stark reality of a fractured perception.

Finally, the concluding movement, “Lux Occulta” (The Hidden Light), delves into the buried truth, the secrets that fester beneath the surface. Here, the veil between worlds tears, and the silence between the carefully placed tones becomes almost unbearable, pregnant with unspoken dread and the weight of hidden knowledge.

“Crux Aeternum” is presented not as a mere musical release, but as a relic – a sonic document chronicling a slow, inexorable decay and a holy dread that permeates every frequency. This is an experience for those who dare to confront the abyss and find a strange form of resonance within its depths.

Embark on the 16-minute descent into Obscura Secta’s “Crux Aeternum”: [Link to where the release can be found will be added if available]

🔗 Leaether Strip’s Electrifying “Thank You America” (Cabaret Voltaire Cover) Finally Unleashed! Plug In Here! 🎧🖤

The legendary Claus Larsen, the mastermind behind the iconic industrial project Leaether Strip, has just dropped a potent and long-shelved cover of Cabaret Voltaire’s seminal track, “Thank You America”! This electrifying rendition is now available for your listening pleasure, directly from the source.

In a candid message to fans, Claus explained the track’s delayed release: “Dear Friends! I recorded this Cabaret Voltaire cover a few years ago, but ‘some’ label people thought it would be a bad idea to release. Oh well, you all know I love America and playing there and music that isn´t listened to is nonexistent, and we can´t have that. Thank you Cabaret Voltaire for making me become a better songwriter! If you are offended, just don´t listen, it’s very easy 🙂 Thank You America! Love Claus.” This personal note underscores Claus’s passion for both the original track and his connection with his American fanbase.

Leaether Strip’s take on Cabaret Voltaire’s “Thank You America” promises to be a powerful fusion of classic industrial grit and Claus Larsen’s signature sonic intensity. Known for his raw vocals, hard-hitting beats, and often politically charged lyrics, Leaether Strip is likely to inject this cover with a contemporary edge while honoring the groundbreaking spirit of the original. Cabaret Voltaire, pioneers of industrial and electronic music, released “Thank You America” in 1981, a track known for its stark soundscapes and critical commentary. Leaether Strip revisiting this influential piece is a significant nod to the genre’s roots.

For longtime fans of both Leaether Strip and Cabaret Voltaire, this release is a must-hear. It’s a unique opportunity to witness a legendary industrial artist paying homage to another pivotal force in electronic music history. Claus’s personal investment in the track and his dedication to his audience make this release all the more compelling.

Don’t let this powerful cover remain nonexistent! Plug in, turn up the volume, and experience Leaether Strip’s electrifying “Thank You America.”

Amon Amarth Unleashes New Music Video and Digital Single ‘Heidrun’, and Announces Tour: Viking Metal Dominance Continues

Swedish viking metal powerhouse, AMON AMARTH, continues its triumphant reign with the release of a captivating music video for their epic Valhalla anthem “Heidrun,” featured on their chart-topping album “The Great Heathen Army.” Additionally, AMON AMARTH presents an exclusive 4-track digital single of “Heidrun,” which includes a newly remixed version of the single, two exhilarating live bonus tracks, and a unique “goat remix” featuring actual goat vocals. Immerse yourself in the immersive music video for “Heidrun”

Watch Here



Explore the digital single on your preferred streaming platform.

Frontman Johan Hegg casts light on the mythological significance of “Heidrun”:

“Heidrun is an interesting mythological character, it’s a goat that stands on the roof of Valhalla eating the leaf of the big tree Lärad. The milk that she gives is the honey/mead that the warriors in Valhalla drink each night. The lyrics themselves are both about Vikings traveling the world but also metaphorically what it is to be a touring musician.”

“Heidrun” Digital Single Track List:

  1. Heidrun (2023 Remix)
  2. Heidrun (Live at Graspop, 2023)
  3. Put Your Back into the Oar (Live at Hellfest, 2023)

About Amon Amarth:
Originating in Tumba, Sweden, in 1992, Amon Amarth has reigned supreme as Viking heavy metal royalty. The band’s legacy spans over three decades of thunderous, anthemic metal infused with the rich imagery of Viking history and culture. From their groundbreaking debut ‘Once Sent From The Golden Hall’ (1998) onward, Amon Amarth has relentlessly delivered their unique sound, combining various epic elements of metal to create anthems that captivate audiences. Through albums like 2008’s acclaimed ‘Twilight Of The Thunder God’ and 2016’s conceptually intricate ‘Jomsviking,’ the band stands as a steadfast standard-bearer for the unifying spirit of heavy metal, offering a cascade of instant classic tracks.

In 2020, while navigating the global pause, Amon Amarth channeled their creative energy to craft “The Great Heathen Army,” their most monumental and heroic album yet. This release was an embodiment of years of hard work, resulting in an album that resonated with crushing power both lyrically and musically.
Amon Amarth’s impact is magnified in their dynamic live performances, with notable achievements including headlining festivals across Europe and joining Slayer’s final US tour in 2019.
Through their unwavering dedication to their Viking roots and their relentless pursuit of innovation, Amon Amarth have solidified their position as one of the world’s foremost heavy metal acts.

DORO´s new masterpiece – Conqueress – Forever Strong and Proud – will be released worldwide on October 27th

For this special anniversary album, celebrating her 40th year in music, it would be unthinkable not to have some guests of honour involved. So, the Metal God himself, Rob Halford of JUDAS PRIEST, personally did DORO the honour of recording the immortal JUDAS PRIEST classic ‘Living After Midnight’ as a duet with her.

Rob Halford is one of DORO’s all-time favourite vocalists, so this moment finally fulfils a dream that Doro has had since her very first tour with Judas Priest in 1986. DORO and Rob Halford have breathed new life into this timeless classic, paying tribute to the roots of heavy metal.

DORO comments: “Judas Priest and Rob Halford have always been one of my biggest inspirations and continue to be my heroes. It was so great working with Rob. ‘Living After Midnight’ has always been one of my favourite songs, and I’m so proud of our duet!”
