Industrial Addiction

                             
Iris is back with a brand-new release for 2008, called “Hydra”. Like the mythological multi-head growing beast, “Hydra” takes the Iris sound and expands it in multiple directions. Hydra features 3 brand new tracks, as well as remixes from bands like Mesh, Alpinestars, Conetik, Datguy, Benz & MD, and Dan Kearley.
On top of that, Iris has bundled this succulent CD with a 30 minute “behind the scenes” tour diary on a special DVD. “Hydra” creates yet another chapter in the constantly evolving Iris story and will be released by Diffusion Records on March 25th.

EMI/Mute is loosing around 10 acts (possibly) and one such band is Depeche Mode. Reuter’s news article stated that Depeche Mode is going to drop the label so they do a “different” approach with how they release their music. Also, the article addressed that Depeche Mode didn’t need a major label to fill arenas and have DJ’s fill their playlists with new tracks.

Music is amazing in so many ways I’d have trouble writing it all down given my lifespan. Music can not only heal, hurt, speak with another’s voice, hold back meaning, but it can also give insight to an extent and amazement that is often un-thought of. 
This just doesn’t pertain to one genre of music nor is any message received from music the same in any of the genres that people listen to. Each genre of music holds there own voice, look, feeling, and personality. With this being said, Industrial music’s voice is the most varied and often, unheard.

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 …read more

Well, one thing I have noticed is the industrial bands seem to be closer than many other genres of music. Reason being is that I constantly hear and see remixes done by other bands after the initial release of a bands song such as Das Ich – Destillat which VNV Nation also did a remix.
This brings a new feel toward the genre and a sort of surprise to the fans as far not knowing which song is going to have a touch of another of their favorite bands.  Granted some of the remixes should have been left as a thought …read more

There are so many bands that have contributed to the success and evolution to the industrial genre of bliss. However with any musical genre, many bands have gone unnoticed and some where close to being forgotten.
In this time and hour of the century, when people ask: “What are some of the most influential bands for industrial music?” people often give the response of bands such as Skinny Puppy, Depeche Mode, Oghr, :Wumpscut, Pigface, & K.M.F.D.M. Though these bands have done a great number on seeing industrial music keep a presence and expand, the band Kraftwerk, has often been …read more

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 …read more

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 …read more

YES YES AND OH GOD YES!
This is the very FIRST, Numero Uno remix video ever posted on Industrial Addiction and it is AMAZING in not only the song BUT video! Today is a good day.
Now this song is called Love to Blame [DJ Lee Perception Mix]. This DJ did an EXCELLENT JOB on remixing this already beautifully intoxicating song. Apoptygma Berzerk has been around since 1989 and has been blasting their musical blissfulness world-wide since!
As of late though, Apoptygma Berzerk is becoming more Synth-Pop than what they originally started out sounding. Some say that the band has steadily declined …read more

Oh how I have been on a Zeromancer trip these past few weeks. I feel abosultly in LOVE with this song as well as Eurotrash, Need You Like A Drug, & Clone Your Lover. This song is very popish and does remind me of Orgy, (No offense guys, since I love the band Orgy, not the act people! Sheesh.), but they are considered to be Industrial Metal.
Zeromancer has been around for quite some time and was formed after their previous band Seigmen fell apart. The band is comprised of 5 members:
Alex Moklebust: Vocals (Previous Member of Seigmen)
Moralf Ronthi: …read more
