Darthemed posted:Then there was Left Spine Down. I don't usually expect much from bands signed to Metropolis, and they basically met my expectations. The song they played before the vocalist showed up was more interesting than everything that followed. The synth player was definitely the highlight (hoping he gets to move on to a better band) but despite the lame lyrics, the vocalist was at least being energetic and trying to engage the audience, doing things ranging from running through the crowd with a flashlight, standing on people's table while singing, popping out through the front door to sing to the smokers, and snuggling up next to girls in the audience. Sadly, it was just kind of bland overall; if you're going to have a dumb name just for the initials LSD, why not sound like something inspired by LSD? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaTGrV58wec ^ This actually looks quite industrial, now that I look at it! And Left Spine Down. Yeah. I appreciate the energy and like the image, I suppose. The music is kinda bland, (okay, "X-Ray" rocks) and I'm not sure I can think of the word except that it seems contrived. I don't have a problem with things being contrived (I listen to industrial music, for one), but it sounds like they're trying not to sound contrived while being very much that.

I saw Left Spine Down open for ohGr on this short list of dates in support of unDeveloped. Do they still do the Joy Division cover, complete with seizure-esque Ian Curtis dancing? Also, I think they keyboardist was in or has done some work with FLA, so there's that.

The keyboardist is Jeremy Inkel, who is a current studio and touring member of FLA. And maybe also Delerium.

I honestly couldn't decipher any of the lyrics, even when the vocalist was singing through a megaphone into the microphone, but I think I would have recognized a Joy Division bassline if it had appeared. From the 'Caution Crime Scene Do Not Cross' guitar-strap and Caution-tape videos in the background, they really seemed to be plugging their new album, which Wikipedia identifies as 'Caution'. Checking their Wikipedia page also revealed that the singer goes by the name kAINE D3L4Y. Oh, and at one point Jeremy Inkel put on a Rocky mask. Just for the fun of it, I guess.

If only. They do have this  Flickr photostream, though.   I'm kind of curious why, out of all the icons they could have picked to plaster all over their instruments and props, they went with caution tape. I'd like to think it's because the guitarist thought his new strap was just too cool to keep to himself.

Gushing Granny posted:What's Industrial like these days? The last time I followed it was about late 2010. I still bought Covenant and And One's new album (yes, I know they're not Industrial), but thought they both left something to be desired. Any great new or newish releases? Little known band (so far, but they will be huge) Chrysalide have released two amazing albums: Lost In A Lost World in 2007 and Don't Be Scared, It's About Life in 2011. New Decree album in 2011 (Fateless). It's amazing.

Now that Naghavi is ending And One, it'll be interesting to see where the dude ends up. I can't imagine him giving up on making music, that's all the man has done since he was like 18 or something. Personally I wouldn't mind him exploiting his lighthearted side more. Funny And One = best And One

There's only like 20 or so. And there's also this, which I might have gotten from this thread... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmUXaWA9vFw and it's different, but 242's gently caress up evil and evil off albums are of the time and might be interesting if you haven't heard them.

Even more darker and thematic than the last album. A little more experimental than the last too, with tracks like 'Doll Parts' really drifting into more free-form structure and sequence... Pope Guilty posted:So I've been listening to Tactical Neural Implant a bunch lately.

Only with really strong modern production values.

Does the new Dead When I Found Her sound mostly like New Age of Reason that was on the review on idieyoudie? That track pretty much killed any interest I had.

Nah, New Age of Reason was definitely the most pop oriented track on the album in my opinion. The album actually reminds me a lot of Too Dark Park in tone.

e: Misinterpreted, so random content. Supposedly Puppy was supposed to be announcing a tour for the slightly above mediocre Handover right about now, but that is probably not happening. Especially since Metropolis has already released a live album from the last tour where the gently caress is my limited edition Vinyl?. Random announcement on litany says that they're all back in the studio working on releases from "all the projects" involved ... So, maybe new Download and platEAU, more Puppy, and who knows ... the Download and plaTEAU don't excite me that much since the last Vault released from those two were almost indistinguishable from each other. New Tear Garden would be nice if it wasn't a mail order collaboration. As for Puppy ... I'd rather have a live tour at this point.  hatelull fucked around with this message at 15:59 on Oct 10, 2012 |

The last few releases from Cevin's side projects, while being really good sonically, were kinda repetitive as it seems he's going more for dance-oriented music as opposed to wtf soundscapes and experimental music. The non-vocal tracks on Bananasloth being the best and most groundbreaking.

The Cleaner posted:Fixed that for ya. I enjoyed it more than Mythmaker, but I thought it lacked a certain sense of cohesion maybe? There are some standout tracks, but I just don't find myself returning to it that often. Still, Puppy have always been a fall/winter band for me so maybe I'll give it another listen this weekend. I was excited about the possibility of hearing some of it live though. I really hope a tour pans out again before they say "gently caress it, we're done." Speaking of live, if any of you lot never bothered to pick up that live album they released you absolutely should. I'm with you on the Download and platEAU stuff. For me the latter always seemed to be more beat and dance oriented, but the earlier stuff is a little more entertaining than the flat out OONZT OONZT OOZNT of that last album. I'd love love love to see Key collaborate with some of the Dots again in studio and make another Last Man to Fly. Hell, bring Ogre back and revisit the magic of "You and me and rainbows."

Loving the new Dead When I Found Her. For the guy who is looking for something like Tactical Neural Implant FLA, early Haujobb has a kind of similar vibe - "Homes and Gardens," as well as "Freeze Frame Reality" might be worth checking out if you haven't already. Sorry, don't have anything more current or obscure.

I think everything about Handover *ASIDE* from the music was mediocre. - The artwork, while I adore everything SRG, looked really dialed in. Like he read the word Handover and took it literally. Not terrible but not amazing like previous albums. - The release date and marketing was in oblivion. The album got little hype, little hope, little word. An anti-climatic release thanks to the business side of it. - The promo photos looked like back-yard cosplay. I blame the photographer, as they are the ones who either make you look badass or foolish. You can tell they were like "Eh. Face paint eh. Ok stand there. Look there. Now look over there. Done." They did not share whatever vision Ogre and Cevin were going for. - No tour. No lyrics. No major intensity built up as the albums usually would. No real controversy (aside from it taking months and months to be released) The *music* however was probably their least conventional, mainstream, or accessible album since Last Rights and deserved alot better. CAT rear end now!!! ya for sure check out Rag Doll Blues I can pretty much guarantee you'll like it if you dug Harms Way.

Milk is decent. 1 side is dark wave or what ever. 80's, depeche mode, New order etc. The other us like the basement at the church. Future pop, industrial, goth rock. I've been a few times, never ran into drama. It's the usual 'goth' crowd in Denver. A lot of familiar faces if you hit any of the shows. Oh yea, and I think Wed night has no cover.

Never gotten into Project Pitchfork for some reason but have been buying the Santa Hates You albums since the side project was started. New album one is a bit more .. serious in tone, or at least a bit more political. Which is kinda weird. Still catchy as all hell though.
