Review: Skinny Puppy – The Greater Wrong Of The Right...
These dominant industrial figures have always prided themselves on not being “sellouts”—I assure this great achievement was something they thoroughly despised. As with much of their work, the spine is a political point of view, yet there is a profound shift in their creativity and musical expression. … read more
Review: Psyclon Nine – Order Of The Shadow
Oh, the terror! This release is full of hard, heavy, head-banging metal and aggrotech beats. I loved the gritty, grinding, nasty guitar riffs. It is disappointing that they are mixed in with overdone, scratchy, screaming vocals that make you want to tear your skin off. … read more

Review: Laibach – Spectre
Although this release has some of the aggressive, cadence-type music that we are used to, it also has a variety of calmer music styles to it as well. It includes a touch of experimental, drum and bass, EBM and even dubstep on some tracks. … read more
Review: Kult Of Red Pyramid – Broken Mirror
While I was listening to this enormous release, I wondered if Kult Of Red Pyramid had to schedule time away from their obligations to hear it in its entirety. … read more
