A Visionary Collaboration ✨🖤

Rohn-Lederman brings together Detroit-based vocalist Emileigh Rohn (Chiasm) and Belgian composer Jean-Marc Lederman (known for his work with The Weathermen, Fad Gadget, Front 242, and Ghost & Writer). The duo’s distinctive sound is an intoxicating blend of experimental electronic textures and deep, introspective lyricism, offering a fresh take on dark electronic music.

Since their 2021 debut “Venus Chariot”—which topped the DAC charts—they have continued to push creative boundaries with 2022’s “RAGE!” and 2024’s double album “Black And Bleu.” Now, with “Forbidden Planet,” they venture even further into uncharted sonic territory, crafting a world that is both cinematic and deeply personal.

“Forbidden Planet” – A Journey Through Sound and Emotion 🌠🔊

Described as ethereal yet provocative, “Forbidden Planet” delivers a compelling fusion of electronic avant-garde and poetic melancholy. From modular synth explorations to hypnotic vocal performances, the album transports listeners into a dystopian dreamscape that is both otherworldly and deeply human.

🎧 Standout Track: “Steal The Light” (feat. Stefan Netschio of Beborn Beton) showcases the album’s dynamic range, seamlessly weaving together haunting melodies and pulsing electronic beats.

Hocico Unleashes New Single & Video “The Screen” 💀🎶

📅 Release Date: March 5, 2025
🎧 Label: Out Of Line Music
📺 Watch & Listen Now: The Screen

Mexican electro-industrial pioneers Hocico return with “The Screen,” a scathing new single that takes direct aim at the toxicity of the digital world. Known for their aggressive beats and uncompromising lyrics, Hocico delivers a powerful critique of online cruelty, exposing the cowardice and deception that thrive behind the anonymity of a screen.

🔹 A Brutal Callout of Digital Deception 🔹

“You spit your filth, while you’re unseen” – With “The Screen,” Hocico paints a vivid portrait of the internet’s darker corners, where trolls and keyboard warriors attack from the shadows without facing real consequences. The lyrics cut deep, unmasking the false boldness of those who hide behind their devices, only to crumble when faced with real-world confrontation.

The chorus, “You lie, you dream, you live behind the screen,” encapsulates the disconnect between digital personas and real-life insecurities, a theme vocally charged by Erk Aicrag’s impassioned delivery.

🎹 Classic Hocico Energy with a Modern Edge 🔥

Musically, “The Screen” is pure, unrelenting Hocico – pounding industrial beats, distorted synths, and an intensity that mirrors the song’s scathing message. The track blends the duo’s signature dark electronic style with a modern, urgent sound, ensuring it hits hard for longtime fans and new listeners alike.

🔻 Facing the Reality of the Digital Age 🔻

Hocico doesn’t just create music—they hold a mirror to society, forcing listeners to confront the cruelty lurking behind digital facades. “The Screen” serves as a wake-up call, demanding awareness of how the online world enables false identities and unaccountable aggression.

“Prophecy” – A Nightmarish Fusion of Synthwave & Metal 💀⚡

GOST’s latest album, “Prophecy”, is out now on Metal Blade Records and has already made a massive impact, landing multiple Billboard chart positions:
🏆 Electronic Albums
🏆 Current Hard Rock Albums
🏆 Top New Artist Albums

Blending darkwave, industrial, and black metal, GOST’s sonic world is as eerie as it is electrifying. The Texas-based multi-instrumentalist and producer has been a genre-defying force since the release of “Radio Macabre” (2013) and “Skull” (2013). Prophecy marks a return to the project’s harsher and more aggressive roots, delivering a relentless assault of pounding synth-driven brutality.

Critics Rave About “Prophecy” 🔥📢

🔥 Decibel Magazine – “Hellish blasts of blackened industrial like ‘Death In Bloom’ and ‘Digital Death’ harken back to the digital demonology of 2018’s ‘Possessor.’ While harshness eclipses hooks, mascara traces remain: ‘Widow Song’ enjoys the silence of humanity’s demise.”

🔥 Revolver Magazine – “Bewitching black-metal hisses laid over thumping darkwave synths and thwacking industrial drums. A match made in Hell.”

🔥 Kerrang! – “The world his music inhabits is nocturnal and sinister, bathed in crimson neon; while its electronic beats might point a bony finger in the direction of the dancefloor, the environment it portrays is more ritual than rave…’

🔥 No Clean Singing – “GOST provides both synth and metal purists a focal point to indulge upon with hellish glee. ‘Prophecy’ will no doubt go down as a stylistic staple, an example of how to make immense music of infinite flavors that pulverizes all fortunate enough to be in its wake.”
