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.
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.
Metamorph – Kiss Of The Witch (Release/Review)
The album starts with “Empress”, a track that will endeavour to lure you in with its hypnotic melody and bewitching vocals. Do not try to resist the lure, as you will fail.
Spammerheads – Tar Blood / Cement Skin (Release/Review)
This is darkness; beating heart electronic beats excellence. It is fantastic, with great vocals and a tribal beat that gets your heart and body thumping along.
God Destruction – Cyborg (Release/Review)
God Destruction, “Cyborg” I just love this track so much. It is bold, aggressive and brilliant, not to mention very loud. It is so damn good. Listened to on the loudest you can, and your mind will be blown.
Ashbury Heights – Is That Your Uniform (Release/Review)
I do like Ashbury Heights, and this track is no exception. It is like a Bullet train with a melody speeding down the tracks.

KMFDM – Hyena (album) (Release/Review)
KMFDM – Hyena finally arrived in my inbox, and it is every bit and more the album we were waiting for. It is varied, and it is full of powerhouse beats.
The Refusers – Eat The Bugs (Release/Review)
A great song with unsavoury lyrics (excuse the pun). The song is in a typical punk style. It is short and sweet with great punk riffs and meaningful lyrics with a meaning that is not hidden.
RetCon – EP.01 (Release/Review)
What is not to love about this EP from RetCon, it has dark vocals and digital industrial beats with beast mode switched on.
A Cloud Of Ravens – The Blackest Mantra (Release/Review)
I am not ashamed to say that I have been a massive fan of A Cloud Of Ravens since I first heard them. The Vocals sung by Matt are just brilliant, so dark and pure goth. The guitaring of Beth is perfect, and they complement each other so well. Together they create a magical goth…
A X AMUN – Re-Terminate(Release/Review)
A-X-AMUN, This album release is fantastic. It is pure evil genius music. It blends metal, synth, EBM and industrial on a massive scale and does it so perfectly.
