Sacramento, California’s [syndika:zero] crashed into the industrial scene in late 2006.

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.

Portishead returns from a ten-year hiatus with eleven new tracks that are sure to please long-time fans, and newcomers alike. In the early 1990s, before triphop was even given a name, Portishead was right there in the fray, defining this new genre, amongst the ranks of Massive Attack, Tricky, and others. But Portishead’s take was different still: Unlike many of their contemporaries, they fused jazz, house, and ethereal sounds into their work, broadening their audience appeal. Alternative rockers, electronic ravers, and classic breakbeat enthusiasts all took to their sound. In recent years, the music industry has watched Gnarls Barkley, The …read more
