Fellow readers of Industrial Addiction. Excuse the way updates to the site have been going for the past weeks since I have found a job locally that has me working odd and often, very long hours through the week and weekends. A lot of things have been needing my attention and I have reluctantly been giving up my valuable time dedicated to Industrial Addiction to complete them.
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!

Let along remember all the passwords and user names for all of the sites your friends, family and you find when browsing that glorious fiber-optic highway known as the Internet.

I’ve been getting quite a few demo albums from readers of Industrial Addiction, and I’ve never been as floored as I have been in these past few months than I can recollect.
The art and musical talent I have come across from many a indie band is astounding. The sheer massive amount of passion and musical prowess is uncomphrendable to not only the beginning listener of an indie band or industrial music for that matter, but also from artist to artist. I am deeply humbled with just the thought of these artists getting in touch with me and giving me …read more

It’s always interesting when you go through your library of your music collection and find a song that you either forgot about or can’t recall hearing but yet, you still have the song. Kind of feels like a new release from the band (even though at times the band could be broken up). Recently going through the plethora of songs from K.M.F.D.M. I found a song called “The Problem”.
This song is quite the gem, and if you have never heard of it, it can be found of the bands “Angst” album. It has a lip biting background beat fused …read more

Sitting back and listening to a few artists that have incorporated classical instruments into their music seems to always amaze. Emilie Autumn is astounding when she lets loose on her custom violin, or when Shadows in The Dark doesn’t say a word and bedazzles people with just a piano.
A friend recently sent me a song by Within Temptation called “Running Up That Hill”. Now WHERE have I heard that song from..? oh yeah..

Barrett passed away on March 8th from a heart attack…
… So all …read more

Seems some people will get desperate at times when it comes to music and trying to settles disputes. According to the Moving Hands Music Magazine:
“a car bomb exploded just outside the Megahype headquarter. No one was injured and the bomber (a nightclub owner) has been arrested. The bomb was targeted for a security company, not Megahype…”
