New Skin – Review

April 20, 2007

So many styles of new wave: Siouxsie & The Banshees, Berlin, and more. Led by gritty guitars, with beats that could be hanging out at any retro club at 2 am.

Razed in Black – Damaged – Review

November 12, 2003

A double-CD that includes the full-length album on disc one, and re-mixes on disc two. All the tracks feature a fresh dance/trance mix of guitars and keyboards.

The Electric Hellfire Club – Electronomicon – Review

November 5, 2003

Electronomicon is King Diamond meets cyberpunk, a glorious rollercoaster ride of electro death rock and self-proclaimed Satanic excess.

Zeromancer – Clone Your Lover – Review

November 5, 2003

Formed with members from Prick, Kidney Thieves, and Seigmen, Zeromancer is a hybridized college-fraternity fun ride of alt-rock, metal, Goth, and electronica.

Slick Idiot – Dick Nity – Review

June 20, 2003

The new vessel of ex-KMFDM members En Esch and Guenter Schulz. Dick Nity displays the nearly-perfect mixing and mastering production we’ve come to expect.

Zeromancer – Eurotrash – Review

January 3, 2003

Combines members from Seigmen, Kidneythieves, and Prick. Gorgeous, dark pop anthems: A great record for home brooding as well as club floor twirling.

For the second time, Cleopatra Records have re-released a classic, silent-era horror film, replacing the original soundtrack with a Gothic industrial mix.

Special Skank featuring Neville Staple – Ska Au Go Go – Review

November 22, 2002

A few sweet moments (many revamped songs by The Specials) and a lot of failed experiments from Neville Staple, the smooth voice we all know from The Specials.

November 8, 2002

This DVD reissue replaces the film’s unremarkable original soundtrack with a vastly improved hypnotic Gothic industrial mix.

Great White – Recover – Review

May 17, 2002

Covers. This record is all covers. Great White has always been a cover band. Their main hit, “Once Bitten, Twice Shy,” was a cover, though they did it well.

Gothic Industrial Madness – Review

April 19, 2002

This three-hour, 40-song DVD video collection compiles the VHS collections Industrial Revolution 1 and 2 and Gothic Industrial Alternative Visuals.

Goth Box – The DVD Companion – Review

April 19, 2002

This is a nice slice of Goth history, and the flaws of cheesy filming and art-film splicing are more the time period than anything else.

The Electric Hellfire Club – Electronomicon – Review

March 29, 2002

They mix modern technology with black metal, to an unusual effect. Their obsession with evil and all things Hell is well-founded, if a bit laughable at times.

The Newlydeads – Dead End – Review

February 22, 2002

Glam leftovers playing what they think is industrial, yet they’re so drug-addled and kinda dim, that the end result is accidentally kinda cool.

The Impotent Sea Snakes – Everything in Excess – Review

February 22, 2002

Blasphemy meets burlesque in a futuristic, exotic sort of way. These guys (and girls) put the “X” in sex and then come back for sloppy seconds.

Faster Pussycat – Between the Valley of the Ultra Pussy – Review

February 22, 2002

Wow, this is awful… I’m reminded of the advice that if a child is acting out, you should ignore him so as not to encourage him.

Anyone Can Play Radiohead – Review

February 22, 2002

What is the sound of 10,000 record buyers shaking their heads in disbelief?

D.R.I. – Greatest Hits – Review

February 15, 2002

Greatest Hits captures many of the classics from the first couple records (Dirty Rotten EP and Dealing With It), and probably some of the Crossover shit.

Smells Like Bleach – A Punk Tribute to Nirvana – Review

June 4, 2001

These two tributes? They’re terrible. Really half-assed versions of songs that mattered. Everyone involved should be scolded and pelted with rotting fruit.

A Punk Tribute to Metallica – Review

June 4, 2001

These two tributes? They’re terrible. Really half-assed versions of songs that mattered. Everyone involved should be scolded and pelted with rotting fruit.

An Industrial Rock Tribute To Judas Priest – Review

June 4, 2001

Methinks these things exist just to rile the increasingly Perry-skunked mullets of Priest fans, and ooh boy, mission accomplished.

The Electric Hellfire Club – Witness the Millennium – Review

September 1, 2000

Never had much use for The Electric Hellfire Club, but always kinda had a good chuckle with them before selling their CDs.
