Ptarkh : Страх [2010]




This play tells that the world has become at the brink of nuclear war, deterrence was the general practice, however some missiles have reached their targets. The greater part of the narration is the track UnAmerica, which opens a technogenic zone of high radiation in front of us. It is an image of processes destructing every life and non-organic substance. It is an energy evaporating everything it influences. Sole survivors hopelessly force through infected zones searching for a little isle of life. It is a deadly harvest of mankind progress... and there is nothing left but fear.

The Peoples Republic Of Europe : Machine District [2011]




After the critically acclaimed album, "Babylon", and the dark
ambient album "Solipsism", tPROE are back at the forefront of
industrial music with the new album "Machine District". Though
not a concept album like the previous ones, this album does fit
in well with the critical, libertarian and transhumanist views
tPROE are known for. "Machine District" holds twelve tracks,
with a lot of stompy four to the floor technoid industrial
tracks, but also some surprises like the SKINNY-PUPPY-meets-
George-Clinton track "Automation Test", the witchhouse from
"Stay Behind", which was written together with DEAD HAND
PROJEKT, and some distorted dancehall and noisy drum'n'bass.

All in all "Machine District" combines the rich experimental
sound of "Babylon" with the sheer stompathon of "Singularity",
without giving in to the bad hardstyle which is mistaken for
industrial nowadays. "Machine District" will be a treat for all
those who like their industrial harsh, painful and rude. tPROE
go beyond man-machine and choose the machine as the future. The
soundtrack for a world where skynet and the cylons are the
masters.

Indigo Larvae : Behind These Walls The Night Is Total [2007]




This is the house of the flensing knife, the lair of soul rapists, and the den of the demolishers of mind and consciousness so inculcated by the religious merchants of fear. This is our ultimate repository of pain and suffering, the gateway to anything but peace. Here we are subject to the caress of the furnace, the flames tenderly soothing the flesh to a crisp, and the intense, searing heat gently boiling away the body’s moisture. Couple that with a truly nightmarish vision of industrial machinery constantly hungering for more damned souls, the fires and engines of slaughter in perpetual, eternal lock-step motion, the scythes and blades biting deep into useless flesh, and you have the essence of what Indigo Larvae are about.

Sylvgheist Maëlström : Skaftafell [2012]




Sylvgheist Maëlström is a French producer who has a couple of albums under his belt already and joins the HANDS label roster in 2012 with an album that will leave a permanent impression: Glossy Electronica, elaborate beat programming and mind-blowing melodies, an actually minimal album (soundwise) which seems massive by its strong emotional impact. Sylvgheist Maëlström is preoccupied with natural events and special places, and "Skaftafell" is the evocation of a huge and massive glacier movement like a moraine or a surge. The concept is to describe as a sound the deep and uncontrollable movement of nature, as the glacier becomes an independent entity, an animal really, untamed by civilization. Nevertheless, after human influence, nature starts to destroy itself. The “Intro” showcases the deep melodies, pulses and peculiar beats, downbeat and distorted, yet with a strong organic feel to them, which we shall encounter throughout the album.

Solar Fake_Why Did I Raise The Fire

Solar Fake : Frontiers [2011]



The German Electro act Solar Fake which is the creation of Sven Friedrich, also known as the singer and frontman of Dreadful Shadows and Zeraphine, are back with a new album. The debut album “Broken Grid” was released in 2008, followed by the “Resigned” EP the year after. Now two years later, Sven returns with the second studio album “Frontiers”.

Sven Friedrich is not any newcomer in the scene. He have been around with the Gothic Rock project Dreadful Shadows during the 90′s and for the last ten years he is the frontman in Zeraphine, who almost continued were the previous project left off which he created together with Dreadful Shadows member Norman Selbig.



Last year he appeared on the Destroid EP “Silent World” with vocals on the track “Lucretia My Reflection”. If you haven’t heard Solar Fake before – include me to that crowd before hearing this album – it is much more electronic than his other projects. With beautiful soundscapes and catchy melodies he deliver a very strong album in “Frontiers”. Alot of driving beats and constant shifting structure of the songs. Something I noticed right away when listening. It features melancholic songs like “More Than This” which can be described as something like a Futurepop anthem. But then it turns to something completely different. A much darker and heavier approach. The track “Parasites” witness pretty good on that. With distorted vocals it deliver something of a hybrid of bands like [:SITD:], Rotersand and Accessory. Just to in the next minute turn into something mellow and very emotional in “Where Are You”, with great and beautiful piano arrangement.

“Frontiers” is a very strong album, not only because of its constant change in songs I mentioned but also for its very addictive and impressive tracklist. Ranging from Industrial, Futurepop, 80′s influences and only a small glimpse of Gothic influences. The album have been played through many times and I still can’t find any bad song. Sven deliver something out of the ordinary here with both his touching voice and with the production. “Frontiers” impress me very much and I will put a big exclamation mark after the title for being one of this years highlights.

Mindless Faith : Just Defy [2012]




On their 5th album, "Just Defy", Mindless Faith continue to deliver a lethal dose of aggressive industrial anthems, ferocious, commanding vocals over crushing beats, awash with distorted synths and laced with overwhelming guitar riffs. Revolting against today’s all-too-common generic electronic sound, the band breaks new ground by including nightmarish psychedelics, outlandish ambient passages and brooding acoustic elements that showcase the member’s diverse musical ability and adds to their genre-defying style.

Indigo Larvae : Abandoned To Despair [2007]




"Abandoned To Despair" is a curious work and one that I find myself warming to even though I can't quite bring myself to fully recommend it. It lurks in a limbo between the most inhuman, oppressive works in the death industrial roster and something slightly more human; neither one nor the other. Yet there's a lot to like in this clanking, blood-rusted album and it promises more gems from Indigo Larvae. One to watch, certainly; possibly because they may release a shockingly good record in the near future, possibly because they may have a knife.
