"Innovative" technology which gradually strays away from the open-ended programming interface and caters to the impatient aspiring garage band + macbook musician looking for a way to push a button, or slide a finger across a touch screen to only change the frequency of a sound or sample that has already been pre-fabricated for them. I guess a lot of people are just too impatient to learn even the basics of programming when a world of push-button cookie-cutter devices are out there to do the job for them.

I would type these but that would go on for pages, so pretend it's an industrial radio thinger as I go into depth about my world of industrial, why I'm going off the deep end, Nothing Records, and hanging with Birthday Massacre. If you guys like this, I'll do another.  http://www.youtube.com/user/mdpofficial?feature=mhee#p/u/0/ZprWrxq18dI

I was trying to find some new bands to listen to the other day and stumbled upon Waiting in Vain, "a new German Rockmatic-Pop act". They are signed to afmusic (never heard of it) and I guess don't distribute outside the country except from their own website. That first link has a music player in it, and everyone should listen to Awake Again, which is their latest EP. It's one of those songs that (to me) is really good but somehow falls short of being amazing. I think it might just be the mastering or whatever in this case, but I don't know anything about music production. The vocals also aren't the greatest, but I like them in a sort of "this could've been an early demo for Chris Pohl's forgotten ninth band" way. On a related note, the lyrics are great. I like lyrics where there's some odd wording because English isn't the writer's first language, but you can still mostly understand what they're getting at. This starts out well enough, until it hits the second verse: quote:Could you blame gosh for it If that wasn't from their own website I would have just assumed someone made a terrible attempt at transcribing it. Are there any good up-and-coming bands to pay attention to? The first album from Dead When I Found Her was great, but other than them I'm completely in the dark as far as emerging talent is concerned.

The next thing I'm going to post is going to be it's own thread here, but I'm inviting everyone who hasn't yet to listen to these 3 blogs I recorded before I go this time. They're long but they give everything I've been doing context and insight into what an obsessive freak I am with music and bands. Starting from why this has taken me five years, to Nothing NIN and Manson, Birthday Massacre and me losing my god drat mind as I buckle down to finish something here over the next week. If you have friends also into industrial and interested in the politics of it as well, please pass these around. The final blog I actually thought to put music behind so you don't hear only my boring voice yammering on. blog3 http://www.youtube.com/user/mdpofficial?feature=mhum#p/u/2/MHr4eeoVCZY blog4 http://www.youtube.com/user/mdpofficial?feature=mhum#p/u/1/ZprWrxq18dI blog5 http://www.youtube.com/user/mdpofficial?feature=mhum#p/u/0/DVDM7w83zV4

heard a track by scrap.edx on last the other day and it's filling that "bleak apocalyptic soundscape" need. The guy also has a project called Carapace that so far reminds me a lot of post 242 bands like Speed Tribe or Male or Female.

Serious question: Do I need new speakers, or is there way too much loving distortion in what's coming out these days? I was just sitting and listening to a bunch of promos from Promo Fabrik, and wumpscut and Skold's new albums, and it's like the artists decided that there needs to be an inch of wool between their music and the listener. Edit: That's setting aside the buttrock-with-a-distortion-pedal bands stinking up Metropolis these days. Halloween Jack fucked around with this message at 02:31 on Jul 7, 2011 |

What Kind of headphones/speakers do you have? My Sennheiser earbuds have no problem with either of those albums and I have the bass on "I don't want to have any hearing left when I'm 60" levels.

Right now I'm using Sony MDR-V700s, and I don't bother with promos less than 192kbps. I know I said "serious question," but I don't really think it's a hardware issue--these tracks and albums sound just as bad over the radio station soundboard. Over the past 10 years I've heard a bunch of groups who had some beats but ruined their tracks by distorting and mixing them into an indistinct blur--I guess they decided that if distorted vocals were good enough for Sascha and Johan van Roy, they could use it to hide the fact that they had nothing to show when it came to vocals or lyrics. It's only recently that it seems like an epidemic. The thing is, I also notice this in veteran acts like 16volt and Tim Skold. Maybe it's just a byproduct of the decision to focus on industrial rock rather than their more dancefloor-friendly work.

I'm not gonna touch the compilations unless I get them for dirt cheap (like max two euros a piece or something), they don't have anything I don't already have anyway. No I'm not a fan at all

What do you guys think of modern 16volt? Full Black Habit hit some sweet-spot for me and I love the entire loving album. American Porn Songs mostly doesn't do it for me. I do really really like Blackbird though, not just because it recalls Thrill Kill Kult. ...and now I see there's a new album, Beating Dead Horses. Guess I'll check it out!
