That's actually quite worth doing actually because otherwise it just falls under the radar. SPEAKING OF TYMPANIK AUDIO There is a pre-order on now for the upcoming 5-year anniversary compilation!

Twiin, I hope you don't mind me asking, but how much money do the artists make on compilations like these? Do you get like a lump sum for your track or a cut of each sale or what? Just curious.

I have personally never gotten any money for participating in a comp. Physical comps I have gotten a lot of CDs that I can sell at shows, but digital comps in my experience are just kind of a gift to the comp organizer. Which in this case is my label, so that's fine.

Nice article. The really weird thing for me is that the scene (at least in the UK) seems way less popular generally than it was around a decade ago at the peak of futurepop when you had tons of young cyberkids with bright clothes, fake hair and big shoes (yeah okay I maybe did at least some of that, but anyway). A lot of the time now there seems to be less of an 18/19 year old crowd at clubs and gigs and more people in their twenties and thirties (maybe this is just the clubs/gigs I go to as a 30something though, YMMV, and I have no idea how the scene is in other countries). You'd sort of hope that with a slightly older scene, you'd get less of this kind of thing since really, OTT "edgy" poo poo like this isn't something clever or shocking any more unless you're a teenager. I guess it's just become normalised in the scene though

Edit: I'm pretty excited about seeing them, Seabound, iVardensphere, Voster, Chainreactor, Alter Der Ruine, Cease2Exist and Aesthetic Perfection. The rest, less so.

Icon of Coil sucks too.  "If I'm not dead enough for life, am I alive enough for death?" Seriously? Danger - Octopus! posted:Nice article. Also, I've read some reporting on music-oriented subcultures/lifestyles that found that the goth-industrial scene does skew older. I think the best explanation given was that people tend to age into it rather than age out of it. It doesn't go out of its way to identify with youth, and the music doesn't tend to so much resist the "system" as reflect it at its worst. While there are political themes, they're more ambiguous, allusive and ambivalent. Whereas an anti-fascist punk band would hit you over the head with a sledgehammer about why fascism sucks, an industrial group like Laibach would dress up in fascist uniforms in a ridiculous satire and over-identify with the target in order to provoke the audience. Or it'd be a kind of anguished reflection at the horror of fascism. I don't know how exactly this translates into age, but the more ambiguous politics and reliance on aesthetics in industrial music to make a point could keep people involved for longer. A punk kid would just incorporate the "gently caress fascism" into his ordinary politics as he aged while dropping the outwardly rebellious image. But a gothic-industrial fan would incorporate elements of the style into their everyday image while toning down the more radical expressions of it, as the style is more important to him/her in defining what the message is than the punk kid, if that makes sense? It's harder to incorporate the ambiguity of industrial music into other aspects of your life like you would punk. You've gotta wear the tactical pants.

The noise/drone/power electronics scene in the UK (which isn't something I'm into, but a couple of friends are) certainly seems to be that way. Pope Guilty posted:Also, being employed in IT is something most 16 year olds can't do. One of my IT-working mates came to Infest this year. He's not remotely into the music, he just thought it might be fun. Apparently he spent a large chunk of the Sunday night standing at the bar, talking to some guy who works for The Register about encryption. The scene really is like some kind of nerd convention at times. (disclaimer: I don't actually work in IT. gently caress you people who can have wacky haircuts 24/7)

I should have included this in my last post, but I wanted to specifically say that "Weirdos, Outcasts, Geeks, Dreamers and Rebels" often harbor disturbing power fantasies and seek empowerment from fascist, misogynist conventions. To be honest, I can't support what some bands put in the imagery they present, regardless of whether they claim it's ironic and regardles of whether they mean it. Boyd Rice, for example, comes across to me as a creepy idiot with delusions of intellectualism, who does inappropriate things and claims he was taking the piss if he gets called out.

This is a different thing from "support" though. Maybe "defend the artistic value of" or something like that. I don't particularly like ecclesiastical authority or medieval feudalism as systems of government either but I can get awed by some cathedrals. Death in June have put Ustasha symbols on their albums, if I'm remembering correctly, or some other Croatian fascist symbolism, and plenty of Strasserist stuff. But they seem to get more of a pass because Douglas P can write interesting songs. They make good art. Nachtmahr doesn't because their music sucks. George Orwell wrote (I've included a link) that "the most one can ask of [a writer] is that he shall genuinely believe in what he is saying, and that it shall not be something blazingly silly." Fascism is evil and wicked but it's not crazy, y'know? You can get why someone would be into it, or you can try and understand what about it appeals to people, in order to to better understand what it is and why it's as dangerous as it is. But guys like Boyd Rice and Thomas Rainer front this image like they're just kidding and what they're saying isn't what they really believe. So why should I listen to what they're saying? It's like: Are you loving kidding me? At least stand by your own art you worthless poo poo. And if he did, if he said "I enjoy beating women" and really meant it instead of backtracking by saying it's ironic, no one would listen to him because they'd realize who they were really listening to. http://orwell.ru/library/reviews/swift/english/e_swift (A bit long so skip to the last graf.)
