Combichrist is at it again! Rawr rawr rawr!
“Preparing to release his fourth full length album, Combichrist presents the ‘Frost EP: Sent To Destroy‘, featuring three brand new tracks and six remixes. From the opening track, “Sent To Destroy” through the final remix, each track is one not to be missed. The ‘Frost EP: Sent To Destroy‘ proves once again that Combichrist is an unstoppable force in a league of its own.”

Sacramento, California’s [syndika:zero] crashed into the industrial scene in late 2006. Headed up by L1fg1v3r, [syndika:zero] rose from the ashes of his previous project (Victim: 1313) to produce their own brand of hard-nosed electro and idm that has been affectionately described as “Being pistol-whipped while a broken transistor radio plays Sinatra EXTREMELY loud”.

If you haven’t obtained a copy of Puscifers’ latest, then you are defiantly behind the times my friend. This CD isn’t jam packed with new material however, so don’t be expecting new and unheard songs.
The best way to describe this new album is by referring to Maynards now broken up band, A Perfect Circle. When he did the albums ‘A Motive‘ and ‘E Motive‘, everyone knew that they were just albums that complimented each other and that ‘E Motive‘ was more laid back than its predecessor.

Looking up news and info on industrial music is always surprising, and often, complicated. There are so many sites that say they are into industrial and the related genres and then they post music updates that hardly have anything related to the genre and sub-genre’s.
Quite annoying!
However, with that being said, I found a ‘Top 20 Bands’ post from the site known as Hellwire Industrial Music, and looking through their list I thought “Now I wonder how many people actually agree or disagree with this listing?”

Well my industrial addicts, I have been busy revamping, re-mixing, re-stocking, and completely REDOING the Industrial Addiction Music Store, just so you can have the most up-to-date music selection, visually engaging design, and I wanted the store to look more fluid with the main site!

I recently found a review and update from a band called Blood-n-Tongue and I feel the mate did a fairly decent review and description of these two tracks so I’m passing it along here on I.A. So here are the reviews and you should check out the songs for yourself and see if you agree!

Ahead of their time back in the early 80’s, the Belgian cult electronic act Front 242 now makes an ultimate statement towards abusive audio compression by releasing the free 2-track download, “First moment“, in 5 various audio sound quality formats:
1. Mp3 – 192Kbps (medium quality) 2. Mp3 – 320Kbps (good quality) 3. Wave – 16bits/44Khz files 4. Free Lossless Audio Codec (Flac) – for PC 5. M4A Apple Lossless – for Mac
It’s up to the listener to hear the difference between the various audio sound formats and thus hear for him/herself what good quality audio sounds like. To …read more
