The lead single from Sonic Diary, “Just Another Alien” has been made available as a free download on Costanza’s MySpace page, www.myspace.com/costanzafrancavilla, between today and July 8^th, the date of the physical release of the album. At that time, ‘Sonic Diary‘ will be available through the artist’s web site, www.costanza.tv in two formats. Along with a traditional cardboard cased CD, fans will be able to purchase the new CD, along with the accompanying music videos, on limited edition USB drive.

When asked to describe Sonic Diary, Costanza explains,

 “It’s a 15 song journal and includes tracks that made my diary during these last few years from the time I met Tricky ’til today in Brooklyn with the mermaids of the East River.”

Along with new compositions, Costanza has included three fascinating reinterpretations of familiar songs, a stark, drum-driven take on Johnny Cash’s “God’s Gonna Cut You Down,” a passionate and angry take on Fugazi’s “Promises” and a heartbreaking ode to fallen Italian pop star Rino Gaetano in “Sale”.

To stream the album for free, as well as view the accompanying music videos, launch the Reverb Nation player here: STAND ALONE PLAYER! Acclaimed multimedia artist Peter Mettler provided the image mixing for the brand new videos for potential singles “Silence” and “Where Have You Been.”

Definitely check them out though and tell me what you guys think of them. It’s sweet that they were signed with Sigsaly Transmissions so quickly, but lets just see how long they are with this label first…

On some more news, this next album is described as: “The swirling sense of lust meets the hardness of stone on ‘Lust ‘n’ Stone‘”, and it just happens to be the child of industrial act, Defile Des Ames. 

The music of Defile Des Ames is a blend of contrary elements: Violence & lyricism, atmosphere & rage, murder, purity, winds & mushrooms. Their traditional and classical instruments are accompanied by powerful percussions and the participation of the great Matt Howden (SIEBEN) gives a incomparable accent to the album. ‘Lust ‘n’ Stone‘ is a brilliant, dark Avant-Garde Folk album and after many years of live appearances and independent releases, here is finally the debut album of the Mediterranean Folk-gods Defile Des Ames.

Now if you have never heard any samples from this band you can always visit their music section on their official website: Krystal-System.com, or you can check out their Myspace Page and rock out there!

Their official site has a lyrics page as well! That’s always a plus since some industrial acts have very few pages and resources for listeners when it comes to figuring out exactly what they are saying. (Distorted Voices can be such a pain at times, but they sound for fricking cool.)

Early this year, S:Z self-released their powerhouse debut ‘The Example‘. Combining the hard edge of the likes of Terrorfakt with the controlled mechanical rhythms of Haujobb and adding hardcore stylized vocals, ‘The Example‘ is quickly making a name for S:Z and bringing them tons of new fans. S:Z has also hit the road performing all over the United States in support of their debut. In March of 2008 they played at the acclaimed Blacksun Festival alongside such artist as Assemblage 23, Cesium 137, Seabound, and Alter Der Ruine, and will soon be opening for Accessory on select dates of their west coast United States tour.

As they round out the Crunch Pod roster, S:Z will be releasing their label debut in early 2009. What you can expect is an album that will be aggressive, poignant, and passionate this is only the beginning.

Checking out their previews, [syndika:zero] reminded me a bit of Juno Reactor from the days of Mortal Kombat. Not saying that their sound is completely like that but it gave me an enjoyable flashback to that  movie. “YOUR SOUL IS MINE!!!” These

mates seem like it will have a great future ahead of it if they can reach enough listeners in my opinion. Their song “Zodiac”(The Instrumental Demo Version) is defiantly a beat that will make you want to shake your ass.. and watch yourself!

I couldn’t resist…

Their song “Deceit” and the Instrumental Demo Version, have that angry beat that’s able to make even the most ‘hardcore snob’ in the club get their feet on the dance floor and move to it. These mates are really something that needs to be sampled and taken into deep consideration when adding new music to your collection!

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?”

Many people classify so many different bands industrial and what is not industrial. The result is always a typical ‘Nah you have no idea what industrial is’ type of argument. Sometimes they are funny, accurate, and even down right vindictive.

I do hope that doesn’t happen here, but, I wouldn’t be surprised if it did. Industrial listeners are known to open their mouth on their beliefs regardless if drink was a factor or not!

So here is an excerpt from Hellwires’ ‘Top 20 Bands’ list. I want your opinion on if you agree, disagree, or are even unsure of who the heck these bands are!

Here is the short teaser:

1.) low distortion unit :: (Industrial Rock) :: Average fan rating: 6.7

The industrial rock n’ electro band that composed the soundtrack of the game “alone in the dark : the new nightmare”. Go to LDU website to stream music or download for free the full OST (43 zipped MP3).

2.) CEOXiME :: (EBM) :: Average fan rating: 7.3
CEOXiME’s neoplastic claw pierced the underground electronic music scene with lamprey like accuracy. HEADaCHE spins the dials, throws levers, performs random acts of calibration while Tatiana laments. Triphop, dub and industrial is shaped and dissipated.

3.) DIVERJE :: (Electronic Industrial) :: Average fan rating: 9.1

Ferocious Electro/Industrial with Club anthems and mixing in EBM,Coldwave, thought provoking lyrics and 6 albums to our credit.http://www.dsbp.cx “STITCHED”is out NOW!

4.) in-FUSED :: (Electronic Industrial) :: Average fan rating: 8.6

Solo project of Tommy T.(Diverje) featuring a mix of dark electro-industrial tracks, power noise tracks,with drum-n-bass, trance and glitch sounds as well.Diversity with style.Debut release”Misplaced’ OUT NOW! on DSBP!www.dsbp.cx

5.) DUALPROFORM :: (EBM) :: Average fan rating: 7.5

then she was ZeroKilled.

now unlock her ‘Sonic Diary‘…

a ‘DREAMTRONIC‘ journey featuring the TV hit: “I’ve been waiting for you” from CSI and “Burqa” from the L WORD.

Also included are haunting re-interpretations of Fugazi’s and Johnny Cash’s ever provocative singles “Just Another Alien“, “50 Bullets Fired in Queens“, and “Gods Gonna Cut You Down“!

June 10th, 2008, marked the digital release of Italian multimedia vocalist/composer Constanza’s ever aggressive and thought provoking, “Just Another Alien”.

The idea for “Just Another Alien” came to Constanza after a friend’s recent brush with US immigration services. After his detainment and eventually denied entry to the United States, Constanza began to wrestle with exactly it means to be displaced in the United States. Though now an American citizen herself, Constanza, recalls a time when she was just a visa-carrying alien herself when she stated that:

“America is a land of opportunity that many people never get to see because of certain laws that prevent foreigners from obtaining a visa. I wrote this song to make people aware of what our [The USA's] government expects from its international citizens and to bring attention to how much it lets the native citizens get away with.”

The lyrics of “Just Another Alien” are taken directly from U.S. immigration form DS_156 and repeatedly begin with the line “have you ever…” They paint a vivid picture of the type of ‘American’ this administration expects, and what type will be denied access:

“Have you ever been arrested or convicted for any offense or crime, even though subject of a pardon, amnesty or other similar legal action? Have you ever unlawfully distributed or sold a controlled drug, or been a prostitute or procurer for prostitutes?”

It goes on to ask the most poignant question of them all, “Have you ever been a human being?”

Please take a listen to this track at Constanza’s EPK (http://www.zerokilled.tv/COSTANZA_SonicDiary_EPK.html) or MySpace page (www.myspace.com/costanzafrancavilla.) If you’d care to run a link to the track, an MP3 will gladly be provided by contacting Sam at Not a Fighter Public Relations.

“Just Another Alien” predates Constanza’s album ‘Sonic Diary‘, but only by four weeks. Though it can be found online now and the official release date for ‘Sonic Diary‘ was set for July 8^th.

Here is a bit more on Constanza’s background.

Constanza burst onto the scene in 2003 as the featured vocalist for the tripnotic superstar Tricky and was found on Tricky’s album ‘Vunerable‘.

Constanza’s album ‘Sonic Diary‘ contains many songs that tackle a variety of international societal issues that weigh heavily on her mind from immigration (Just Another Alien), to women’s rights (Burqa, Back Into My Mother’s Womb), to the use/abuse of medicine (Medicine) and, on a more local level, a song dedicated to Sean Bell, the young man shot to death in Queens, NY by police officers in late 2006 (50 Bullets).

No other act of the past years has brought more fresh wind, power, and freakiness to the music market than Alice in Videoland! I’m surprised Prussia Records isn’t still shaking from their knees and grinning with selfish delight to have this extremely well known band on their roster.

I know I would be and I’d let everyone know, no matter if it was 1 am!
