The artist’s ability to regulate and crunch such modular mayhem amplifies the pummeling sound-scraping detail of its ten tracks, which are scorched to no end by the overpowering combination of noise and distinct machine rhythms.

Sombre Lux :: Raw Øblations 3: Fed to the Crows EP (Errorgrid)
Raw Øblations 3: Fed to the Crows is a short sharp shock of an EP by Sombre Lux.
XXU & UXX :: [channel] (Katabatik)
Intentionally multidirectional, incorporating a lot of influences and original elements to deliver something catchy, unsettling, and moodily atmospheric, “[channel]” encompasses a punchy doom-laden hypnotic dancing trip punctuated by ominous ambient textures of sci-fi cinematic quality.
M.Cadoo & P.Stephan :: Pang of Being (Self Released)
But it’s not all splatter. Soaring synths pierce the darkness with moments of light reminding me to look for that light, follow it down the tracks even as metallic crashes continue to cascade into crumbling piles of rust.
Sophia :: The Age Of The Narcissist (Cyclic Law)
More heavy and power electronics are used as main architecture, punctuated by processed acoustic elements, retro-futurist tribal drums, doom-laden organ chords, micro noises, and nihilistic vocals, wordless and narrated.
Derrick Stembridge :: Past Present Future: Archive I (Labile)
The album’s almost cyber-punk and relentlessly austere energy also veers into musical territory inhabited by Ghostly International-signed acts.
Snowbeasts & Solypsis :: Firelands (Ohm Resistance) — Video premiere
As the artists find their comfort zone in an assemblage of mangled industrial, bass, illbient, techno, downtempo, and even dub, Firelands showcases familiar shadows shifting in the dead of night.
Weldroid :: Apprentice of Chaos (Section 27)
A solid package showcasing the artists’ ability to flex and fracture darkened electronics within the constructs of seamless and unexpected ambient voyages.
