Okay, so you are probably asking yourself why in the world I would even be aware of a YouTube video with literally 3 views. See, my brother hasn’t decided what country he lives in. And this dude Rod Benson kind of lives in Korea where he (I am not making this up) plays basketball in […]
Okay, this could easily be one more thing destroying pop culture touchstones of my childhood. Like that Star Wars sequel with Jar Jar Binks and cutesy young Darth Vader or whoever etc. (I’d like to point out that I somewhat presciently said at the time that it looked like George Lucas was trying to get […]
I first came across the band Motionless in White because the lovely Blue Blood babe Franccesca de Struct said she was going to be in a music video for them. The song is called “America” and is a catchy guitar-driven goth-industrial rant about how, with all the corruption in church and government, why is anyone […]

“If Industrial is dead I’m f**king the corpse.” So goes the description on Caustic‘s Facebook page. Listening to this remix heap, I found it easy to imagine lots of pelvic thrusts in the studio and across the mixing board. Only a labor of love could be produced from that experience, right? Matt Fanale‘s tracks are […]
Metropolis recording artist Front Line Assembly’s newest release is AirMech. What can you expect from one of the pioneers of EBM and industrial music? It seems inevitable that every new album will be held under the microscope, for better or worse. AirMech, however, marks a shift from thrashing dance fest to something dark, slow, and […]
