Anybody going to the Covenant show in NYC on Thursday, or know about the venue? It's at Santos Party House, and like most venues around there, I've never been. Last show I "went" to in the Lower East Side was to see Statiqbloom on a weeknight; it was a tiny dingy little basement bar called Home Sweet Home, and I just said gently caress it and left before they went on (sometime after midnight, apparently). So I'm looking to avoid that experience.

INDUSTRIAL MUSIC TRIVIA:

The only industrial musician (as far as I know) to be immortalised in comics is Scott Sturgis, better known as early 00s rhythmic noise artist Converter (he also released stuff as Pain Station).

http://gijoe.wikia.com/wiki/Scanner - not just a namesake, he's actually based on the real Scott Sturgis, and if I remember rightly, he's pictured posting to an industrial music newsgroup at one point in the comic. I have a copy somewhere, will see if I can dig it up.

Yeah, it was supposed to be released alongside the ominously-named Koma album some years back, but when the album never came out, it was released as-is. I have it, it's pretty good if I remember right. Unfortunately it's back home in Finland right now.

edit: I think it has two or a couple of stories about people in a coma / a state between dreams and reality and the Das Ich dudes just kind of hang out there. It's p. cool.

They're performing at Amphi this summer and you can bet your rear end I'll be there, flipping out :holy:

But yeah, they have played live more than once after Stefan got better but I guess it's safe to assume they still want to take it slow for now. The man suffered seven brain hemorrhages just a couple of years back, after all.

I'm pretty certain the industrial scene has collectively kept Feindflug's bedroom just how they left it, and still leaves the porch light on every night, just in case Feindflug happen to come back.

The Compound Eye sessions are out; Shake and Drugzilla sound a lot better than the demo version, and Compound Eye is one of my favorite tracks of 2015. The other cubanate song is kinda meh, but the remixes are pretty decent too.

I've been trying to figure out the name of this futurepop, synthpop, and generally goth electronic band for a few days now and Google's failing me. It's a duo with a blonde lady singing and some nondescript guy on programming/synths. Pretty sure they're European and I could have sworn the name was Chromium or something, it's definitely not Chrom though. Any ideas?

A surprisingly difficult question, I had a quick look on last.fm and pretty much none of them are blonde! If it was pink it'd be easier.

I don't hate that track, but holy hell if that isn't a middle finger to Alice Glass.

"Ethan Kath's now-removed description on the track posted:

i wish my former vocalist the best of luck in her future endeavors. i think it can be empowering for her to be in charge of her own project. it should be rewarding for her considering she didn't appear on Crystal Castles' best known songs. (she's not on Untrust Us. Not In Love, Vanished, Crimewave, Vietnam, Magic Spells, Knights, Air War, Leni, Lovers Who Uncover, Violent Youth, Reckless, Year of Silence, Intimate, 1991, Good Time, Violent Dreams etc.). people often gave her credit for my lyrics and that was fine, i didn't care.

There's a whole bunch of screenings during May of Industrial Soundtrack For The Urban Decay, a documentary about the origins of industrial music. Really excited at getting the chance to see this, since I've been keeping an eye on it for a while. Might interest a bunch of folk here I suspect!

Figures that I'd sign up for a half-marathon in New Jersey and then find out that FLA and PWEI (presumably the bastardized new-PWEI, but still) are playing at Cold Waves in Chicago the evening of that same day. My feet are going to be hamburger, but I'm trying to figure out a way to make it work.

Nice. I don't get out much lately because I have a 2-year-old, but the LA screening isn't too far from home. But I think I might do this - thanks for the heads up.

I recently got around to watching American Horror Story (seasons 1 and 2 are great, season 3 is the dictionary definition of a hot mess), and one of the things I really liked was the theme music, which sounds like it could've been one of the more melodic tracks on Leichenschrei. It put me in mind of that Coil remix of "Closer" that was used for the opening credits of Seven.

What other movies/TV shows use industrial music like that?

8MM by Mychael Danna has some similar SPK-esque tracks, I think.

and if you're referencing Leichenschrei, you'll probably want to pay attention to the original Crow soundrack because it was done by Graeme Ravell

Apparently, according to wikipedia, charlie clouser wrote the theme to AHS, so if you like that you might want to look at Clouser's body of work (soundtrack-wise, he worked on the Saw music, and he has some solo albums I believe, as well as once being a member of TDS/Fragile-era NIN).

I used to report for an industrial music magazine when I was 16, and I don't know how my atrocious writing made it on the website but I ended up getting advance copies of new albums and press passes to shows in the UK. I saw Nachtmahr, Uberbyte, and some other band I forget.

Was a real good, crazy show, even if it looked like half the third reich showed up. I got hit in the face with an inflatable dick.

*New band (Eisfabrik) claims to end the "ice age of electronic music" with a "totally new and exciting sound that can't be compared to any other band*

*sounds exactly like VNV Nation, Assemblage 23 and like a dozen other futurepop bands, down to a Ronan-ripoff of a singer*

I forgot to mention this a while back when I saw Project Pitchfork live, but I saw a review of their debut album just now and remembered they exist. Eisfabrik was the second warmup band for Pitchfork and it was at best "OK", absolutely nothing at all interesting musicwise (performance was alright, they had cool icy props and a yeti). It's just super funny to me how these guys claim to be something super new and exciting when they do literally nothing that hasn't been done a billion times before.

I listen to a lot of futurepop, so I thought I'd check those claims...

Their song "Eisfabrik" is basically SITD sounds, but with nothing interesting happening. The song is not quite as trancey as 2000s futurepop, but they're not exactly the first to deviate in that way.
Other songs also reminded me a bit of Nachtmahr and various bands that go in a more poppy direction. Musically I could accept it as just another one of those bands, but the lyrics also seem quite dumb compared to the bands they try to sound like so it's not worth the effort.

e: If I have to make a positive comparison, it's a bit like Culture Kultur. "Polar Night" reminds me of that. But I'd still rather listen to that, the vocals are much better and the music less plain.
