Industrial bass artist SINthetik Messiah addresses violence in The Vatican with new single
Louisiana-based industrial bass artist SINthetik Messiah has unleashed a provocative new single. "Assassins That Run On Faith" takes aim at violence and abuse in the Vatican.
"For 1,000s of years inside the Vatican a covenant of nuns exist solely to rid the evil of this world. Through sheer violence, this covenant was able to bring the Vatican to its current day power." - Bug Gigabyte
Included in the recording is an authentic recording of Pope Francis apologizing to nuns for abuse.
The release includes a remix by none other than Tom Shear of Assemblage 23.
"Assassins That Run On Faith" is available on all digital platforms including Bandcamp now!
The unavoidable, staggering and pioneering Bill Leeb of Front Line Assembly fame is back and in full force with industrial project NOISE UNIT. Today, Noise Unit announces the release of stunning full-length offering Cheeba City Blues out 21st October 2022 via powerhouse label Artoffact Records and share first single "Alone Again". The full length is in honour of the late electronic genius Jeremy Inkel (also of FLA fame) whose music is featured throughout.
"Alone Again" is a powerful track featuring candescent vocals from Leeb, sprawling ambience and punchy beats. An ode to growing old and losing our fight against time, the single is one of acceptance and staring into the dark, icy fate of death itself.
The album title, Cheeba City Blues, references William Gibson's novel "Neuromancer" set in Chibi City, Japan. It is considered one of the first in the cyberpunk genre, prompting Noise Unit to explore the various stylistic differences in cyberpunk, industrial and electronic/EBM in-depth. This mechanical miasma is nuanced and multifaceted yet recalls the essence and fluidity of Front Line Assembly. A true masterpiece, the record captures the enthralling soundscapes championed by Leeb and Inkel like no other. With arguably two of the most profound pioneers of the genre, Noise Unit is a force to be reckoned with.

Cheeba City Blues is the follow up to Noise Unit's 2021 record Deviator, also released via Artoffact Records. Deviator was the first full length from Noise Unit in over 15 years and included work by Leeb and Rhys Fulber. An exhilarating piece, the album saw praise from various outlets calling it, "a sweet taste of archetypal electro/EBM as only the pioneers could offer" (ReGen Magazine) and, "in rivethead heaven while Deviator spins", (V13 Media).
Industrial artist, Nuda addresses past trauma & mental illness with 'Trigger'
Industrial artist, Nuda has just unveiled their new single, "Trigger" from the forthcoming album, Stranger.
"Trigger"'s title stemmed from PTSDs and mental illness. It’s also the theme of the new album. Past trauma or underlying emotions can come out so quickly and unintentionally because words or actions people say or do can trigger a bad memory and in response lash out or get anxiety, panic attacks, etc.
"Trigger" is the most industrial dance style song yet with inspirations of Front Line Assembly and Celldweller. Nuda is also working with the Melbourne Electro-Industrial band, Sirus on a remix which is set to release later this year.
"Trigger" is releasing on all streaming platforms on 1st July followed by Nuda's very first tour start date. Nuda will be joining Manifestiv on a California tour from 1st July - 9th July 2022.
Darkwave duo Sever The Servants have just unleashed their debut full-length, self-titled album on the Produkt 42 label.
The album's themes are generally apocalyptical with some political and social commentary. From the "right wing hivemind" theme of the title track to the things that slowly kill us day to day, each of the album's six tracks represent the freedom to explore with a complete lack of care towards staying in a "box".
A song like "Get In The Grave" serves as a sonic memento mori while "Haunt Me" was spawned from folk tales of sirens and banshees. "Cruel World" is lamenting the near-purgatorial state of existence in a world riddled with flaws while nearly embracing those very same flaws.
Synths wail and weep alongside of the vocals. The album is also rich with experiments in distorted instrumentation and textures, menacing sounds and dirty drums.
Sever The Servants is available on CD and on a all digital platforms including Bandcamp NOW!
Canadian industrial band, Di Auger has just dropped their new single; an angry diatribe titled "In The Twilight Of Nothing".
The song is extremely political lyrically and was entirely written and composed during the midst of the intense Covid lockdowns in Toronto, Canada – some of the strictest in the world.
Di Auger states: "What “triggered” my writing was the announcement that it was “illegal” to dance in bars/clubs just prior to when they finally shut them all down. "This was the complete subjugation of a population to an extreme and it culminated for me in that simple diatribe. I was angry, frustrated and not at all alone, something needed to be said."
"In The Twilight Of Nothing" is available on all digital platforms including Bandcamp.
