Industrial Addiction

Well, one thing I have noticed is the industrial bands seem to be closer than many other genres of music. Reason being is that I constantly hear and see remixes done by other bands after the initial release of a bands song such as Das Ich – Destillat which VNV Nation also did a remix.
This brings a new feel toward the genre and a sort of surprise to the fans as far not knowing which song is going to have a touch of another of their favorite bands.  Granted some of the remixes should have been left as a thought …read more

Time for Torture Tuesday and I have a treat for all you ravers, techno, trance, and house lovers! If you’ve been listening to this type of music for a long time or even just beginning, you have by no doubt heard of the artist Paul Oakenfold.
Paul Oakenfold is the DJ, remixer and producer who did more than anyone else to break house music in Britain during the ’80s. During 1987-88, Oakenfold hosted a series of crucial club nights which introduced thousands of Brits to house music. Just a few years later, he helped push the new dance crossover …read more

VNV Nation – Perpetual is a great song and very ambient, mellow, chill, somber, etc. Too bad the movie is non existent. I’ve always wondered what the fans where thinking when they made this kind of crap. I mean come on.. 7 minutes and 53 seconds of just two damn earths with crappy typography. Christ a 5 made this didn’t they.
Well enjoy the song, it’s VNV Nation after all.

I’ve always listened to music while I work. It seems to make the day go by faster when I do, not to mention, it makes it more enjoyable. This is even more so when I am able to listen to music that I enjoy. I believe this is true for everyone.
So one day after I became unemployed and was job searching, I wanted to expand my music collection of industrial music. I came across a site that not only had industrial music, but it has blues, ambient, techno, gothic, and even rock! They also have another added benefit that …read more

Angelspit is a glorious band. The song 100% can be found on Asleep By Dawn – DJ Ferret’s Mix #2 as well as on their official album Krankhaus. The song is simple yet seductive, short and to the point, and outright insane.
This song can give you a quick fix if you are in need of an electro beat and an attractive female voice. However, if you are looking for a song that makes sense, you are better off looking some place else.
Now as for the music video (if you can really call it that), well since when did …read more
