The internet is the greatest thing that has ever happened to the music industry. Given the current climate of the music market this is a bold statement bound to cause riots and looting. Possibly a more apt statement would be something like this, the internet is the best thing that has ever happened to consumers of electronic media. This is coming from an [...more]
Not so secretly (or secretly, depending on who you talk to) I had the honour of editing Grave Concern’s E-zine’s Best of 2009 issue. So far there are plans to put these issues out quarterly, lets hope this works out better than it did for another dark culture ezine.
There are tons of great reviews of some of 2009’s best industrial (and related genres) albums. The issue also contains, amazing art work by Cesar [...more]

I was quite excited on first listening to this album but unfortunately, Mechanized has a short half-life that eventually leaves you with the bitter realisation that, “this could have been so much better!” Most tracks hint at great potential and songs like My Experiment, Mechanized and Deep Inside almost make it, as long as you aren‘t overly intent on listening (analyse and you will despair).
