Cyborg Amok – Etiam (Release/Review)
Cyborg Amok always please with each release. Greg and Brydon always pull out all the stops to give us the best they can. Etiam is no exception. This is a modern classic on melodic punk.
Javill – Water (Release/Review)
Javill, “Water” I was in two minds on this one as I thought, oh no, an Irish Boy band. Thankfully I was wrong. This is far from the boy band we have come to know from Ireland. This band can create a decent rock track that can sit well with any high-end rock song.
Cane Di Goya – La V del Sordo (Release/Review)
Cane Di Goya released “La V Del Sordo”, and I was not sure what to expect, but this is darkness personified; it is darkness on an epic scale.
Nona Et Decima – Far Beyond The Pillars (Release/Review)
Be prepared to lie down in a dark room, eyes shut, and put this on. You will be taken on a journey through the ocean’s depths to the heights of the clouds. This is a journey to be experienced.
Sea of Sin – High and Low (Release/Review)
Sea of Sin released their second single this year, and it has perfect vocals and is infused with perfect melodies that are just so pure.
Psideralica – Inhuman Feelings (Release/Review)
What a great mix of styles. This album, “Inhuman Feelings” by Psideralica, is an excellent example of mixing style and genres and how all that can work.
Silence Embrace – Meta Queer Dolls (Release/Review)
The first time I heard of this Industrial Goth style was in my teens. The band was the amazing Cabaret Voltaire. I purchased the Album “Drinking Gasoline”. This EP from Silence Embrace reminds me so much of that first time and is chilling. The shivers go down my spine.
Distance H – Waters Of Woe (Release/Review)
Distance H, the Parisian producer, has done it again. His previous release, “Bitch 16”, was such a great release featuring the vocals of Ophelia from Saigon Blue Rain. This time, his new release features the fantastic vocals of Marita Volodina.
Carrion – Blood + Diamonds (Release/Review)
There is dark, there is moody, there is dark and gloomy, then there’s the darkest black, and this is Carrion. Carrion has the incredible ability to mix black metal with industrial, goth, and so much more.
Saigon Blue Rain – The Mort (Release/Review)
Saigon Blue Rain’s “The Mort” is dark and sensual, and the vocals and melody are to die for. It is an incredible melody and beat that encaptures the whole mood of the track and then takes it to another level.
Interview with Raymond Watts of PiG
Interview with Raymond Watts of the Band PiG. A great interview with some very interesting answers.
Spiryt – Blood Twins (Release/Review)
What a great combination of “jluc Courchet aka SPIRYT” and “Kimberly from Bow Ever Down” together; the music works so well.
Suzi Sabotage – Oodi Surulle (Release/Review)
Starting with an eerie chant and an electronic melody reminds me of Switchblade Symphony.
Krate – It’s The Hope That Kills You (Release/Review)
Krate, their new EP, is an absolute masterpiece of incredibly atmospheric and very dark electro-industrial music that envelops you in its almighty grasp.
PiG – The Merciless Light (Release/Review)
This album from PiG is such a powerful album, and it is an album that has everything right. From the intense, dark vocals to the superb melodies that flow perfectly throughout.
Mona Mur – Snake Island (Release/Review)
So you want new music, something fresh, then Mona Mur’s “Snake Island” is for you. It is fresh and not like anything else out there. Mona has essences of the great Marianne Faithful in that she can go from almost tear-jerking to almost angry in a few songs.
Frosttide – Warrior (Release/Review)
Frosttide, “Warrior”, is a track on an Epic proportion. It is fantastic, loud, powerful and such an incredible melodic symphonic sound.
Weimar – Dancing On A Volcano (Release/Review)
I hear essences of the late Mark E. Smith from The Fall, Angelic Upstarts ballads and even as far as memories of “The Gift” from the Velvet Underground.
