Auto Auto has accomplished what most bands will not attempt to do: create danceable art. Whether the song is an up-tempo, upbeat dance floor groove, you can be sure that the track will be as layered and atmospheric as a Nine Inch Nails release. There are a lot of different synths playing at once on this album; in lesser hands, this music could become cluttered very quickly[...]

Touted in their promotional materials as being influenced by Bjork and Radiohead these experimental indie sounds seep through quite recognisably on Nately’s Whore’s Kid Sister‘s new mini-album ‘Ribs’. If you’re going to go on words alone to gage the sound of this awkwardly named act prepare yourself for something inherently more dark and chaotic.

New track Burn It Down is the first track to be released from Linkin Park’s upcoming album ‘Living Things’. Available to purchase now, and streaming both on soundcloud and as part of the band’s official website, ‘Burn It Down’ sees the band take a more electronic path away from their Nu metal roots. Burn It Down Follows in the footsteps of ‘Iridescent’, taken from ‘A Thousand Suns’[...]

Inspired by classic dungeon-crawls such as Might & Magic, Eye of the Beholder, and Ultima Underworld, Legend of Grimrock is a rare occurrence in today’s gaming market. In an era of gaming saturated by auto-aiming, mass-looting, cinematic elements, and cheesy writing attempts to become the next Planescape Torment, Legend of Grimrock just shrugs and provides a fun dungeon-crawl without hand-holding[...]

Acid House pioneers Lords Of Acid are back with their new LP ‘Deep Chills.’ Yes, it has been a decade since their last full length, but this album proves the band hasn’t missed much during their time away. This album is a nice updated take on their unique take on perverted house music, incorporating wubs and state of the art synths into DJ Mae’s timeless vocals and old school dance beats. The lyrics are just as over-the-top perverted as ever[...]

16Volt’s re-release of ‘Wisdom’ reminds us why we love the band. On Powell’s most recent album (Eric Powell IS the band), ‘Beating Dead Horses,’ 16Volt seemed to abandon its energetic, high intensity approach to industrial metal to create subtler soundscapes. The album was interesting, but inside every fan was aching for those punk-laced industrial anthems that 16Volt has become famous for.

Melt runs in gunning with their album ‘Emissions of Hypocrisy,’ trying any way they can to incite a riot. No matter what your state of mind, the first track builds to an ignition that lets you truly see the way ‘The World Is On Fire.’ As with the rest of the album (and most albums in this genre), this track is particularly repetitive, but you’ll still miss it when it ends. Luckily, the rest of the album will satisfy the craving this opener creates[...]
