A well-oiled and tightly packed release to kick off 2024 as we keep our ears peeled for more in what could very well be its own genre titled “cold light wave.”

Derrick Stembridge | Mike Petruna :: Cryptic Logic (Labile)
Derrick Stembridge and Mike Petruna’s Cryptic Logic is an easily-digested industrial album with atmospheric aspects. It is mindful of Front Line Assembly’s more atmospheric works, with dystopian and futuristic elements.
Meat Beat Manifesto & Merzbow :: Extinct (Cold Spring)
This is not a collaboration you thought could happen or would happen. Extinct reminded me a bit of the more noisy performances at the legendary Maschinenfest festivals I’ve attended over the years. Like pre-Hands ORPHX or early Synapscape. Become reacquainted with some beautiful music / rhythmic noise.
Grande Loge :: Unruh (Cyclic Law)
This tremendous and tranced-out tribal ambient manifest can make an original soundtrack for those who want to be physically immersed in the esoteric philosophy of modern days wizards such as Alan Bennett.
Cyberaktif:: eNdgame (Artoffact)
This is a psychedelic industrial trip—very diverse, organic and holistic, showing us the perfect combination of Key’s sound sculptures, Fulber’s arrangements and Leeb’s melodies and vocals.
Cathode Ray Tube :: Parity Town EP (Condition Human)
Industrial and synthetic terrain nevertheless harbors a wide variety of severely saturated beats, noise, and bizarre soundscapes.
