Recording sounds great, but if you were a fan of Scissorfight, most of these songs are a waste of the guitarist’s and bassist’s gonzo talent and locked groove.
The Greek Gothers nailed it with 2011’s The Twin Moons, and this 15-track Superstition EP continues the distorted whispers, frantic beats, and industrial chaos.
Helalyn Flowers combine a strong, beautiful female singer and a strong electro metal-tinged male rock beast, so it’d be hard to go wrong, yes? Well, no.
Plastic Makes Perfect is a great album title, but Jennifer Parkin is no stranger to great looks, writing styles, titles, cover art, and, of course, songs.
Cold, classic EBM with distorted vocals, news samples, plenty of trance-inducing repetition, and harsh keyboards replacing the crunch of “metal guitars.”
Combining cold distortion of ’90s-style dark industrial with the anthemic synthpop of 2000’s faves like Apoptygma Berzerk, including chillingly female vocals.
Bottom has always been heavy and dark, but not like this! 2013 Bottom leans more Melvins/Blag Flag, with huge slabs of guitar fuzz to get their point across.
Southern rock swagger, harmonica-drenched, dusty vocals of wide range and wide-legged stance kick up electrified cowboy grit like tequila-shooting Molly Hatchet.
Dirty rock, Sweden-style, with guitar chunk and harmonica from the outset, and then the Soundgarden vocals kick in, swagger and might intact, and you’re hooked.
Despite the hyperventilating of the press in anticipation of a negative reaction to the style changes Baroness makes on Yellow & Green, everything is fine.
An eclectic blend of aggressive electronic music and furious industrial rock, with heavy breakbeats, rhythmic noise, and Natasha’s razor-sharp provocative female vocals.
“It’s an album about all of us… how brain-dead we act in this dying world of ours, how we have lost faith in ourselves and how we prefer to believe in television nonsense and pseudo-Gods.”
