There’s no denying that, almost 40 years into their career, the Industrial juggernaut known as KMFDM is still a force to be reckoned with on the scene. They’ve survived a constantly changing music industry, line up changes, and most recently, a global pandemic to come back with what might be their greatest, and most “KMFDM”, release to date with HYENA which sees the light of day on September 9th through Metropolis Records. Recently we had the privilege of chatting with KMFDM singer/songwriter Lucia Cifarelli via email about the new record, the upcoming fall tour (Hitting Boston’s Paradise Rock Club on October 12th), her recent solo outing I Am Eye (Available via Bandcamp here) among other topics and it goes a little something like this:
[Read more…]Abrams Rev Up The Rawk On Tantalizing In The Dark
There’s one every year for us, isn’t there? One unexpected/unknown artist with a record that completely knocks our socks off. In recent years, bands like Corlyx, Forming The Void, and SPICE have just come completely out of left field with these albums that absolutely slay from start to finish. And in 2022, we’re blessed with Denver’s Abrams and their magnum opus entitled In The Dark.
[Read more…]Are You Ready? KMFDM Ready New Ultra Heavy Beats On 22nd Full-Length HYENA
If you’re not having fun while listening to new KMFDM music then you’re doing it wrong. That said, the 22nd (!!!) full-length from the legendary Industrial outfit might be their most fun outing yet. Filled with the kinds of blistering anthems you’d come to expect from Kap’n K and the gang, HYENA still manages to both enthrall and excite, surprise and stimulate this far into KMFDM’s career.
[Read more…]Singles! Tysk Tysk Task, “Ocean Now”
After covering the brilliant “Colors” single by Lowell’s own Tysk Tysk Task, we somehow managed to drop the ball and completely miss the equally brilliant “Rosegold” released in late July (Check it out here)… but we’ll be damned if we miss out again! Well, a little at least seeing as we missed the release of “Ocean Now” by a week or two. Hey, we’re trying!
[Read more…]The Callous Daoboys Deliver A Diabolic Dissertation, Bring The Noise On Celebrity Therapist
With all the hype surrounding The Callous Daoboys lately there’s many a watchful eye (And ear!) tuned into their upcoming new record Celebrity Therapist. We admit we were pretty skeptical ourselves diving into the eight song effort after being intrigued when “A Brief Article Regarding Time Loops” but are here to tell you that Celebrity Therapist does, in fact, deliver on all fronts and truly lives up to the hype. It could even be said that the latest from The Callous Daoboys is all that. AND a bag of chips.
[Read more…]Pist.On Return Refreshed, Renewed, And Ready For What’s Next On Expanded Edition Of Cold World
The ballad of Pist.On according to RNRF:
Everything old is new again, right? I first stumbled upon Brooklyn’s Pist.On while going to college in Boston. I was ending my first year in the Spring of 1996 which produced some mighty fine albums which, in turn, was cause for an especially busy time (for me) in the vibrant rawk club scene down on Landsdowne St. Having fallen in love with Life Of Agony after hearing “Through And Through” on Headbanger’s Ball, I jumped at the chance to see them at Axis on a headlining run in support of sophomore album, Ugly. Supporting them was Clutch, whom I’d already seen and loved, and some band called “pist.on”. Being a broke, underage college kid not interested in drinking at the time and too poor to linger at the merch booth, I made my way up to the front and was treated to the sonic soliloquies of Brooklyn’s Pist.On who kinda blew me away. As a HUGE Type O Negative fan, I was enthralled by both the heaviness and the harmonies displayed live and later, on record, when I eventually tracked down their debut album Number One (Coincidentally, produced by TON’s own Josh Silver).
[Read more…]Death Bells Fly The Post-Punk Freak Flag Proudly On Stunning Third Outing Between Here & Everywhere
Post-whatever is our jam, okay? Sure, we tend to lean toward the heavier here but the music that made us who we are will forever be that mid-’80’s/early ’90’s Industrial and Post-Rock noise. So it always causes our black heart to flutter whenever we discover a current artist that’s proudly flying the freak flag of old in the here and now. Like Death Bells who have a stunning new record out soon on Dais Records.
[Read more…]Singles! Eldridge Rodriguez, “Scars in the Vein”
Eldridge Rodriguez is one of those artists that you either love… or ya love? Right?!?! Like, how can you say you love music if you don’t get one of the undisputed greats?!?! It makes no sense. And we might be biased because our home base is around their home base but we’re pretty sure that if we were on the West Coast or in another country we’d still love what Eldridge Rodriguez do so very well on the regular.

This one has been sitting in ye olde inbox for quite some time and we have to apologize for not bringing attention to the sounds of Roseneath sooner. But we’re here now along with Shine, the newest from Virginia’s own Roseneath.
[Read more…]dropbear Bring The Loud And Lush Rawk On Vibrant Nu EP Spiralized
Dang, not to shit on “Bystander” (Which rules!) but that lead single in no way prepares the uninitiated for what’s to come on the rest of Spiralized, dropbear’s powerfully emotive debut EP. At all. Loud and luscious, the first collection of songs from the Boston quintet who feature in their ranks a potpourri of artists representing an eclectic array of the local music scene is, quite simply, divine.
