OSLO was an anomaly even when they first hit the scene with their debut in 2005. Combining glistening guitars and an uncanny galloping low end, OSLO could easily be seen as the second coming of The Cure or Joy Division even. They followed that album in 2007 with The Rise and Fall of Love and Hate and then quietly went away. Until now (And the 2011 High Mountain Sessions release) that is as the band prep their newest EP, The Morning After, for a December release. [Read more…]
Scandroid Make Beautiful Noise For The Future With Nods To The Past On Self-Titled Debut
Man, what a time to be alive if you’re a fan of synthwave. There’s artists like Mr Kitty and TR/ST continually killing it, groups like SURVIVE getting mainstream attention through Stranger Things and the master of horror himself, John Carpenter, putting out fresh and compelling sounds…hell, The Faint even released new music this year as they celebrated their seventeenth anniversary. [Read more…]
Goes Cube Go Out With A Bang On Shadows Swallowed the Flood
I remember randomly getting a promo of Goes Cube’s sophomore opus, In Tides And Drifts, without knowing anything about the band but loving every ferocious moment that came after pressing “play”. It was a feat of technical brutality, it was as if Converge took all of their really epic numbers and collected them on one album. It was stunning. It was perfect. [Read more…]
Circle of Dust Heralds Second Coming Of Psalm 69 With Machines of Our Disgrace
Are you not getting enough of Klayton in 2016? Do you need new Celldweller? Is Scandroid not hitting that industrial sweet spot? Well then, Circle of Dust is here to satisfy those industrial yearnings and then some. [Read more…]

Why I Hate Comics (A Rock And Roll Fables Op-Ed)
Our first comic book post is also going to be our last because after 30+ years of collecting comics, I’m taking a break. No more weekly Wednesday jaunts to the comic store. No more piles of waiting to be read comics on my nightstand. No more piles of cash spent on stuff I feel obligated to buy just because I’ve been buying it for years. Take that as you will. [Read more…]
Marc Heal Delivers Career-Defining Tracks On Debut Solo Album The Hum
As an industrial music fan I’m embarrassed to admit that I was never into Cubanate back in the day. Sure, I dug what they did but for some reason never invested in anything beyond “Oxyacetylene” off the Mortal Kombat soundtrack in the mid ’90’s. Cut to today and I’m scrambling to find a copy of Cyberia because who knew in the digital age that it’d still be hard to legally obtain a copy of an out-of-print classic. [Read more…]
Lowcaster, Your New Favorite Riff Rockers, Unleash The Vapor Sea
Lowcaster, without a doubt, is a band that heavy music lovers will be talking about for a long time to come. Mystical, melodic, and undeniably metal…Lowcaster has crafted a sound that is similarly familiar yet wholly original on debut album, The Vapor Sea, with dual vocalists, dual guitar riffing, and a killer rhythm section making the “Lowcaster sound” truly indescribable at times. [Read more…]
Crowbar Brings The Lumbering Brutality On The Serpent Only Lies
Crowbar will always hold a special place in my heart. While Pantera is technically the first live “show” I ever attended it was Crowbar, who opened, who will always be the first band I ever saw live. [Read more…]
Neurosis Deliver Fierce Eleventh Opus, Fires Within Fires
It’s hard to imagine that this magnificent opus was created in less time then it supposedly took the almighty father/mother to create humanity. Does that make Steve Albini greater than God? Unclear. BUT! Listen to what he’s produced either behind the boards or as a musician and tell me you don’t know what the answer to that question already is. [Read more…]
