On candy stripe legs

the spiderman comes
Softly through the shadow of the evening sun
Stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead
Looking for the victim shivering in bed

Searching out fear

in the gathering gloom

and suddenly a movement in the corner of the room!
And there is nothing I can do
And I realize with fright
That the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight!

Quietly he laughs and shaking his head
Creeps closer now
Closer to the foot of the bed
And softer than shadow and quicker than flies
His arms are around me and his tongue in my eyes
“Be still be calm be quiet now my precious boy
Don’t struggle like that or I will only love you more”
But it’s much too late to get away or turn on the light
The spiderman is having you for dinner tonight

And I feel like I’m being eaten
By a thousand million shivering furry holes…
And I know that in the morning I will wake up
In the shivering cold

The spiderman is always hungry…

“Come into my parlour”, said the spider to the fly… “I have something here for you”

The Cure is one of the great bands that have been around for years and years. Even though they are not considered to be industrial, The Gothic Genre of music is so closely related to industrial music that it will always have a place on Industrial Addiction to call home.

This glorious song is called Lullaby and has always been a favorite among listeners of this band. Many others have had this song confused with APC (A Perfect Circle) at times. Many have believed this song to be about drugs, whores, and any other activity that is comprised of most older 80’sbands.

Though most know it isn’t. It’s about a nightmare some say and used the Music Video to further rectify their legitimacy. I guess neither party has had a drug trip go wrong. Nasty dreams and feelings a person can have when a trip goes bad.

So with that being said I would just like to say… “DRUGS ARE BAD MMMMMKAY?!”

Hah I couldn’t resist. So if you enjoy APC or are just getting into The Cure, I highly recommend this song.

As Always, Here is A Fix.

Well now, this song is one that of memories. The song name is “Industrial Love” by In Strict Confidence and remixed by none other than, VNV Nation!

Now the movie is Metropolis by Fritz Lang… old, corny, and fits perfectly with the overall theme of the song. I was surprised to see a lot of the hits were able to be matched to the beat. Even though this movie is the “crap of the crop”, it needed to be shown on Industrial Addiction.

So, sit back, enjoy the trip back into time, poke fun at the oddity of the movies performance, and most of all; enjoy the MUSIC!

As Always, Here is A Fix.

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 you hear this song on Ultraviolet? Any one who would try to fuse this song with UltraViolet needs to be taken out and beaten BEFORE broadcasting it.

For one, speeding up the fight scene makes it look even worse than it already is. It looks like someone managed to press the fast forward button and lost the frigin remote. Even with the fight scene sped up, it STILL doesn’t match the bass from the song and therefore looks like… how would I put it lightly… ah yes, CRAP.

Also, replaying the same move twice or more in a row very rarely looks appealing to any viewer and should be avoided. Seems this person never got the memo and put it in twice.

What a prick.

The ONLY good thing about this fan made music video is that it’s comprised of fights scenes and nothing more. That is a bonus since it keeps the viewers eyes peeled to the video. The only downfall is it fails to match up to the tempo of the song. Now if it did… well it would be a bit more pleasant on the eyes of everyone.

This is a genre that has been long associated with industrial but not many see it that way. It is and so it shall be covered in I.A.

On a second note, I.A. is expanding and is now on Myspace! So fellow readers and lovers of industrial why not put a picture to all those comments and add I.A. to your Myspace! You can catch it here at: Industrial Addiction Myspace. I look forward to seeing everyone there!

Well Hello ladies and gents. Normally I utterly loathe fan made music videos but this one is done fairly well. Razed In Black – Visions is the last video on the Triple Torture Tuesday list. Yes Yes I know you all are sad, but no worries, more videos will be on next Tuesday! Onward and upward…

Visions is off the Damaged album which was released in 2003 by Cleopatra Records. The over album is a huge hit and has many remixes as well as original mixes by the band. Razed in Black has been adored by many for years, and has put out as many crappy songs as they have great. Visions, just happens to be one of their great songs. Go figure.

This music video is a recording of a live show as far as the sound quality goes, but the footage is obviously. What’s this?! The makings of an actual music video?!! By a fan nevertheless. Wonder if the poster actually has a degree in video editing or just has some sense in their brain.

Visions, as far as billboard ranking, is only rivaled by that of Razed in Black’s previous release of Oh My Goth! Both have a sensual female voice somewhere in the song. There isn’t much to tear apart in this video since they linked the audio format perfectly with the video. So I’ll give them credit. The only thing I can see is that if a person who is susceptible to epileptic seizures, they shouldn’t watch the music video too closely, unless they want a free trip to the hospital while the ambulance is driven by a wannabe taxi driver from New York… or California.

Anywho, As Always Here is A Fix.

Now what song can be better than this one… I mean right off the bat the sensuous voice of a female can be heard that would make most guys blush. Not to mention the fact that I’ve accidentally yelled “Oh MY GOTH!” instead of “Oh MY GOD!” from listening to this song so much.

The hypnotic melody and seductive lyrics from both the male and female singer can make any industrial fan bite their lip out of shear ear-pleasing pleasure while jamming out to this song.

Razed in Black has been around since 1984 and was formerly known as Lost Souls. Since singingwith Cleopatra Records, Razed in Black has released 5 solo albums and have appeared as a notable remixer, producer, or guest artist on more than a hundred albums. Notable high profile albums include providing remixes for Berlin, Information Society, Bowowow, Switchblade Symphony, Gary Numan, just to name a few.They have also contributed to many tribute compilation CDs to artists like: Depeche Mode, The Cure, Metallica, Skinny Puppy, and many more.

R.i.B.’s Song “Oh My Goth” can be found on the album… dun dun dun Oh My Goth. Hah who would have thunk. Such a cleaver band Razed in Black is.

Over 5 minutes and 40 seconds, this song will make your feet want to move, your body shake, and give you a sense of being unable to stop from singing along with Romell Regulacion, the lead singer, belts out his silk-like voice whilst screaming the delicious chorus. If you feel like working on those new pole tricks or just feel like dancing to an addictive beat, I highly recommend this song.

As Always, Here is A Fix.

Hrm. I have always liked Amy Lee and the band of Evanescence. Their first album took the not only the store shelves by storm, but many people’s hearts with her soothing hypnotic-like voice. Amy’s looks aren’t too bad as well.

With Evanescence’s new album, The Open Door, premiered with Wind-up Records It’s mellower than her first one but that doesn’t tear away those metal loving rivets that do stand up and say “Hell YES I listen to Evanescence!” It’s considered to be more Gothic Rock then industrial but it deserves to be mentioned at the Addiction.

The Open Door is Evanescence’s 4^th album but only the 2^nd to come from Wind-Up Records. The Tracklist is 13 songs and all filled with the mystical serenade that this band loves to bring to the industry.

Sweet Sacrifice, The Only One, and of course Call Me When You’re Sober are all huge hits with the fans nation-wide. This CD was recorded a year earlier but has just recently hit the shelves and it is already being gobbled up by quickly, as well as their adoring fans shiver and crying with anticipation of Evanescence’s tour. The band is touring with Korn and many other big names throughout Europe and soon in the US.

If you don’t already have this CD, GET IT. I highly recommend it.

Track List is as follows:

1. Sweet Sacrifice

2. Call Me When You’re Sober

3. Weight of the World

4. Lithium

5. Cloud Nine

6. Snow White Queen

7. Lacrymosa

8. Like You

9. Lose Control

10. The Only One

11. Your Star

12. All That I’m Living For

13. Good Enough
