Hi Friends,
There is a new Industrial Black Metal project.
It's made up by me and 2 friends. I'm the oldest one in the group, I was a producer and DJ in the Industrial Hardcore & Techno scene of the 90s in Germany, and played at clubs like the Tresor in Berlin (Also crossed path with Technoviking, hah!) The guitarist is a guy from Chile. Started as a black metal musician and later got into techno and industrial sounds. And our vocalist is a woman that lives in Germany, too, who is into Dark Techno and Doomcore.
So, there is a shared love for Black Metal, and also Hard / Doomy electronic music, and eventually, the thought did arise, to combine all of this.
I'm an Industrial Black Metal fan since ages, and... so yeah, here is our project.

But because we were not *just* into Black Metal, we tried to do things different, a bit.
There are snippets and influences from other styles, like dark ambient or even rave music. also a "black metal dub" track at the end of the album.
The guitars are (much!) more digitally altered than usually. The drumming is a bit different, too.
There are some speed changes, or changes in structure of the tracks.
And the vocals are more like rituals, not so much black metal screaming.

The topic of the first album are "dark", or rather liminal deities, and other pagan deities. Like Hecate, Lilith, Sophia, The Morrigan.

Oh, and of course, no AI in any form, has been used for the recording, the vocals, the sounds, the concept, the lyrics, the art... or anything else in this project! Just thought I should mention this.

here is a link to the album: https://doomcorerecords.bandcamp.com/album/queens-of-light-and-of-the-darkness-2

Im going to see Lords of acid soon and want to buy the tour poster. But im unsure if its ai generated or not. I did some research and couldnt find who produced the art for the poster. Any info is appreciated!

A lot of the current crop of dark electronic acts seem to have two performers and (maybe I’m just gettint old) have tracks and generally the same sound without a lot of musical diversity.

In comparison, bands of like Skinny Puppy that had multiple people playing/creating melodies resulting in a much more diverse sound.

Am I just getting old? Is there a genuine lack of acts with more than two members?

Edit:

My point, maybe I didn’t make as clear is that the lack of bands with more than two members (vocals and programming) leads to a sound wherein a lot of the music of that band just kinda sounds the same.

For example, I Saw Boy Harsher last night. It was great, I love their music. It’s great dance music, but the diversity in the sounds fron song to song is minimal.

Went to a record convention and left with this, the physical single, and a couple of punk records and such. Does anyone know anything about the show or did any of you guys see it. It appears to me the show was on May 5th at Liberty lunch potentially 1988? Love to hear any comments.

I love this album. Had the cd when it first came out, and when I saw that it was getting a vinyl release, I had to get a copy.

Hailz, independent release from Greece, coming out Nov 27. It's a disgusting fusion of heavy industrial hip-hop beats, power electronics, sludge, black metal, drone and avant-garde elements, among others. Inspired by stuff like The Body, Prurient, Gnaw Their Tongues, Death Grips, etc. 3 preview trax are steaming now. Let me know what you think!

I also have a small number of free Bandcamp download codes available for anyone, who likes it enough to wanna grab the whole thing. Just drop a comment below, if you want one and I'll DM it to you directly!

THANX!

Version of Here to Go

I experiment, some things come out a little industrial :)

I'm Danny Ayers, was with Nocturnal Emissions in a past life. Haven't stopped making sounds since, but only recently started releasing things again.
