Origins

2007 release for this New York industrial artist, and industrial is something that'll have a warm place in my heart till I die. It's punishing and grinding, but...

Labyrinth

Another one not really my cup of tea but I'll give it ago. Electro goth stars, Blutengel have...

Impact Zone

Italian EBM time, from my mates over in Blank. Up-tempo start, dance floor orientated, and interesting vocal effects (I like some experimentation, keeps it fresh). Pretty good production too, the usual...

Kunstwerk

Interesting start for this album, German male vocals, sung not distorted, lull us in, but then a wall of guitars announces a change in atmosphere. Bit of an odd one this, I'm old school so...

Visitors Attractions

Ambient glitch here in a real Aphex Twin “Ambient Works” vein to sooth your troubled thoughts, getting you through another sleepless night. Reverbing pads, echoing pianos, plaintive synthlines interspersed with glitched rhythms and forceful bass chords. Well produced, inspiring, melancholic, but...

Meta

2007 album from Tom, the man who put 23 in his band name and therefore deserves awe-inspired recognition wherever he steps foot. The music is of course melodic EBM, verging on synth pop. Great production, and song structures. Always on the verge of a pop hit, Meta sees some experimentation on...

Walls

New direction for the German IDM musician, with real instruments, and real songs replacing the glitch of Trial and Error. Tracks like Hailin From the Edge take on a soul / house feel, almost funky in feel, whilst others...

Trial and Error

Glitch rhythms open the dance with Apparat, Aphex style, and I like that. Clean sounds exquisitely engineered and produced rule the nest, so there is no clutter amongst the kaleidoscope of noise. More music to study, music that forms...

Schattenmaedchen

Dark ambient, eerie and sinister (the crow calls were a bit over the top perhaps, no matter) this is the soundtrack to a grand finale, and nobody gets out alive. There are spoken voice lyrics, similar to something Adi Newton...

Unison

I like this band, one of my faves actually. Gotta love the clean voice, just like EBM should have, catchy melodies, intelligent song structures with no easy cheese to please the crowd. The production is of course great, and...

Evil Generation

I know one of the guys who does this stuff, but I wasn't expecting to like it much, not really my cup of tea, all that metal you see, but I was pleasantly surprised. Some leads and vocals are very Hocico-style. The production doesn't...

Melodies for the Devil

Good hard 'n' Harsh EBM, Hocico style growled vocals and catchy leads for this Mexican aggrotech band. Beyond the Darkness is as good as the aforementioned Hocico any day (or night) of the week. Dance floor material, the goths will...

State of Limbo

Berlin born techno, electronic and EBM artist gives some good, hypnotic techno sounds on this album. Definitely techno trip material for a night cruise down the autobahn, these tracks slowly...

More Than Machine

Very Frontline Assembly this one, with a German after-taste. Good basslines abound, and I feel like dancing. Lots of vocal samples, anthemic choruses, all good stuff in the first track, but as the album progresses...

Holy Machine

German, anthemic, slightly Teutonic. The title track is good, melodic and dancey EBM. German singing always works in this context, especially with a growly male vocalist. Not too original, reminds me...
