Two of my fondest concert going experiences are seeing KMFDM touring behind Symbols in 1997 and Marilyn Manson supporting The Golden Age Of Grotesque in 2003. While both shows were memorable for several different reasons, the one common factor for both was a certain bass player named Tim Skold. Collaborator, co-conspirator, and partner to some of the greats in the past, Skold is finally back to prove how potent he is once again as a solo artist. [Read more…]
Fear Factory Bring It Back To 1995 While Still Looking To The Future During Worcester Stop Of Demanufacture 20th Anniversary Tour
My first exposure to industrial metallers Fear Factory was back in college and the Mortal Kombat soundtrack which featured “Zero Signal” off a little album called Demanufacture. Something about the synths and the syncopated guitar and drum attacks paired with vocalist Burton C. Bell’s growl to a croon approach immediately stood out to me. And as a fan of bands like Ministry and NIN already, this took me to a new level. [Read more…]

On their latest album, Generation Doom, they finally achieve that feat and the results are beyond imagination. [Read more…]

Dubioza kolektiv Conquer The Music Industry Then The World With Infectious Happy Machine
I started this post a while back after initially downloading the album (For free! Legally!) but shelved it for some reason. Then I went to see Gogol Bordello on their “Gypsy Punks 10th Anniversary Tour” and was so let down that I had to revisit this collective of real artists. [Read more…]
Surgical Meth Machine Delivers The Ministry Album You Deserve (Album Review)
Stay with me for a moment as I attempt to describe Al Jourgensen’s latest project, Surgical Meth Machine, to you: If “Warp City” had sex with the entire “TV” series and their bastard offspring had sex with Revco and THEY had a baby, Surgical Meth Machine would be the result. Make sense? No? Well, if you’re ready for it to get a lot more weird then stick around. [Read more…]
Child Bite Let Loose Negative Noise On April 1st (Album Review)
Negative Noise, the fourth full-length from Detroit’s Child Bite, is so exquisite yet at times utterly indescribable. In a good way. They’re not metal, not punk, they’re just frickin fantastic. And now is definitely the time for you to get to know them. [Read more…]
