The sheer avalanche of flickering melodies and percussive juggling is baffling, coming together in a massive collection that seems to grow upon itself from its slushy intro to its murky closure.

Tangent :: Presence Reverts to Absence (n5MD)
While signature darker tones grind and gravitate towards infinite vistas, it’s the varying microscopic shifts and fractured melodic fibers that keep us drawn into Tangent’s misty web.
Sommerfeld :: Alpha 137 EP (Ryu)
Its grit and exploratory post-industrial tones are drenched by fidgety synthetic blips and fuzzy robotic noises coming to life.
Room of Wires :: Welcome To The End Game (Ant-Zen)
My initial overall impression of Welcome To The End Game is that this is a very worthy follow up to earlier releases. We are greeted with all of the hallmarks of RoW including their fractured beats, evocative and emotional synth lines…
Sumner :: Post Apocalypse Now (Heterodox)
We can hear distant voices tethered to crumbled industrial beats and bass as Sumner (aka Ramon Mills and Jason Cesarz) deliver Post Apocalypse Now, mastered by none-other than Robert Galbraith of Component Records.
V/A :: Opposing Forces (Errorgrid)
Six tracks of artists brought together from differing sonic styles might sound like a recipe for disaster, but this collection shows that new ideas can come from different sources.
Somatic Responses :: Psychic Artillery (Self Released)
Psychic Artillery is simply the epicenter of deconstructed industrial electronics, and it’s great to see this outfit continue to master it.
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.
V/A :: LÜX (Cathode Muzic / Hymen)
LÜX presents a dozen sound sculptors, each with their own unique ability to deconstruct industrial pathways and visceral soundscapes. The selected artists, while at the top of their craft, dig deep into core foundations to uncover new sonic elements.
Asshole Galaxy :: Irreparable Damage (Mahorka)
A stunning visceral soundtrack and a mission statement for our world’s “leaders” to pay attention to what’s happened, is happening, and sadly repeating itself.
