Industrial Addiction

Rawr… now this song gets my blood pumping and heart just a racing. The beat, lyrics, and voice of the singer are something to reveal in. I LOVE THIS SONG.
If you ever close your eyes and sing along to this song, your worries and pain will cease. 
This is so, simply because of how the of the beat is preformed, the tempo of it, how the singer stresses his tone in the song, and ultimately, how the song is overall presented and what it means to each individual who listens to it. 
Everyone relates a song to the current on-going’s of …read more

Ya know, industrial music has its ups and downs. For one, not a lot of people listen to it. Of course, the whole industrial scene is underground and that’s how many people like it, including some bands. Reason being is that they find it as a way to keep the fakes and posers out of the scene and the music true. The only backlash to this is that many people aren’t reached out to that would possible enjoy the various industrial styles. 
Industrial is comprised of many different forms. The most notable are, Synthpop, Darkwave, New Age, Gothic Rock (more or …read more

Alright now people, what do you call something you can’t hold, are only able to get it by buying it, and are able to listen to it. No, it’s not a hooker. BAD PEOPLE! It’s the new Apoptygma Berzerk CD!
The only sad part is it’s a digital download. So for all you people who have a addiction for plastic, best get a CD burner if you don’t already have one. Now as far as the songs go for the new contemplation release Soli Deo Gloria that is due to digitally release on September 4th of 2007 is great. Their sample …read more

Hrm. I have always liked Amy Lee and the band of Evanescence. Their first album took the not only the store shelves by storm, but many people’s hearts with her soothing hypnotic-like voice. Amy’s looks aren’t too bad as well.

With Evanescence’s new album, The Open Door, premiered with Wind-up Records It’s mellower than her first one but that doesn’t tear away those metal loving rivets that do stand up and say “Hell YES I listen to Evanescence!” It’s considered to be more Gothic Rock then industrial but it deserves to be mentioned at the Addiction.

Juno Reactor’s Pistolero has been out for awhile but it hasn’t lost its thrill. Old and new rivetheads, gothics, and ravers alike all get lost in the screaming, explosions, and intoxicating cords of the Spanish guitar. Though some say that this Juno Reactor song isn’t industrial due to the fact that a guitar is present through out the entire song, I full heartily disagree. Bands such as Ministry, Combichrist, and even the Cure, had guitar solos through out their songs; some more than others.

Industrial isn’t just about songs that lack a guitar and use only electronic equipment to make …read more

Well it’s Friday the 13th and I’m on the move. So far I’ve been up for so long I’ve lost count. Last time I checked it was 25 hours straight at 10’ O Clock in the morning. It’s now 3:23 pm EST. I’m almost there. 7:35 pm EST is the scheduled time of arrival. Any who, through out this whole ride, my favorite genre of music has been blaring from my iPod which is jacked into my head. Sounds like bliss, no? Hitching a ride, listening to the favored music, while you count the hours till you can see the …read more

Oh yes, Ministry. Can’t say I’ve kept my eyes on this band since they started their own record label called 13th Planet Records in 2004. Yes I know, slacking. Oh well get over it; I’m making up for it.

A friend recently asked me to do an overview of the band. First thing that came to mind was “SON OF A @&^%#! … hrm… Could be cool.” So here it is. His heart filled plea of “Give me Ministry or give me… Lacuna Coil!”, will be addressed. What can I say, I love my reader’s.

First off I …read more

Well, theStart is a bit of a toss up when it comes to industrial. For one the band is signed under metropolis records. Secondly, they are classified as new wave. Personally I think they sound like a version of Kylie Minogue and wouldn’t download their songs as of yet. Call me an EBM fanatic or close minded, either way my personal view probably won’t change.

Now for all of you that do like the New Wave and Punk styling of the old 1998 bands such as Snot and Human Waste Project, you’ll need to check out this rather self …read more

Well all, in order to celebrate the launch of the B5Media’s music channel they are having a contest that have some faboulous prizes. Personally I’m lacking an iPod and what better way to win one rather then buying it. (Simply because I can’t afford one yet.) So take a gander at what this contest has to offer and how to go about winning it. Who knows perhaps you’ll be the lucky winner. Best of luck!
