So many bonus points for their Ich Bin Ein Auslander cover. Trip report: Gothsicles were completely awesome last night, and I got my Tremere deck signed by darkNES and :EYG:. So very glad the Albany curse didn't strike again.

I hadn't listened to I.E.D. yet, but I thought I'd better before Kinetik so I'm not totally confused by what they're playing. Opinion seems to vary on the album, but I thought it was about good enough to be mentioned in the same sentence as Artificial Soldier, and Angriff is definitely one of my favorite FLA songs now. The Jourgensen song is kind of eh, but it doesn't make me think of Ministry so much as "huh, this is just like 'Beers, Steers, and Queers'". If nothing else, the album has some good songs for when I go running, since my pace is just enough faster than the tempo that like 90% of the genre uses for it to not work at all. (side note: if you see a guy with a  pin on in Montreal for the next week, it's presumably me)

Twiin posted:Edit: So who else is going to Kinetik? (I'm gonna be secretly performing briefly on Thursday and DJing on Sunday, if anyone wants to say hi.) That's awesome, I'm so loving excited for Thursday. Funker Vogt put on a great show the last time I saw them, looking forward to Iszoloscope too. Oh, Thursday's FLA too, they'd better be awesome after I missed them in the New York fiasco back in '06.

Twiin posted:I'm reposting this from the NIN thread because I think people here might find it as hilarious to listen to as I did to make it -- my DJ mix from Kinetik: Industrial v. Hip Hop! I caught the second half of your set on Sunday and it rocked, sucks that I wasn't able to see Iszoloscope because of the ticket-line shenanigans. I think I used pretty much my worst possible dance moves in the 2nd room, my only defense is that I was four+ beers in at that point in the night. You know if there's any truth to the rumor about drama  keeping Ronan out of Bruderschaft's set? I have to admit, they were about 80 times better than I was expecting, and I was expecting them to be awesome(ly hilarious, probably).

I got so excited when I saw Pop Will Eat Itself is putting out a new album, but apparently it's only one of the original members? Dammit Clint, I'm sure the soundtrack business is far better-paying, but it's not the Poppies if you're not there

I'd like WTF?! even if it wasn't a good album, because otherwise I wouldn't know that kidneythieves is putting out new material again. It IS good though, one of my favorites to go running with.

LabyaMynora posted:I looked them up when Angelspit toured with them, and it's straight up pop. Like, surgary, Justin Bieber-y pop - just dressed in Hot Topic clothes. I was baffled and didn't go. I haven't really liked Angelspit much since then, either. Even if the pedophilia and rape and rape-pedophilia weren't a thing, and even if their music wasn't total garbage, they seemed really lovely about touring. On that tour with Angelspit, they canceled an Albany show at the last minute because they wanted to hang out in New York City that night. But hey, Combichrist has standards apparently, who knew?

Quick, somebody offer Eskil, like, a few cases of liquor! My girlfriend likes Covenant better than VNV anyway. Or hey, make this Caustic thing real, I'll take it. What's the guy from Epsilon Minus doing these days, holo-simRonan would be pretty cool too. Notgothic fucked around with this message at 16:23 on Nov 5, 2014 |

It was weird seeing FLA at the same place and having such different feelings; at Kinetik 2011 they had a much better mix of old and new songs, I thought, and more enthusiasm. My girlfriend had her purse stolen sometime around that set, so maybe I'm just more negative because of that (at least they only stole the money and left her passport card). Youth Code and Haujobb were great though, and Skinny Puppy was still pretty good I thought. I see Ogre's made a commitment to sweat off 20 pounds by the end of the tour, with that costume he's wearing?

Danger - Octopus! posted:Also, I've not thought about Stabbing Westward in a long time. I think I still have Ungod somewhere. I was just thinking about them the other day, because the singer's current band has a new album coming out soon. The first single really scratches that 90s itch for me, I'm looking forward to the rest of the album. Speaking of the 90s, Gravity Kills is almost entirely to blame for the music I listen to. I wish they'd hurry up and finish the new album they were working on a couple of years ago.

A late post, but:Portable Staplefrog posted:I like this genre, but don't have a good source of news on it, so I occasionally return to this thread to find bands I didn't already know about. I had never heard of Assemblage 23 until yesterday (here) and they are good! I think my favorite Industrial-ish thing is still Kidneythieves, who haven't been doing much lately. Can anyone suggest something similar that is? Actually, Free Dominguez (who basically is kidneythieves these days, is my perception) just finished up a kickstarter for a new album: link. She's been fairly active on Google+ -- video hangouts and such. teethgrinder posted:Kidneythieves really reminded me of another band, but it's lost somewhere in the cobwebs of my mind. Will take a while to recall. Snake River Conspiracy, maybe? I've always liked them a lot, partly because of the absurdity of the Third Eye Blind connection and partly the repeated scene-drama blowups (and the songs too, of course). Flesh Field? The Azoic? (two of those three are disbanded by the way, Staplefrog, but you'd probably like them if you like kidneythieves. I'm not sure what the status of The Azoic is, which is a shame because I like them the best of anything I've mentioned) Notgothic fucked around with this message at 07:22 on Feb 17, 2015 |

Babby Sathanas posted:Yeah synthwave/outrun/whatever is probably the coolest stuff in the world and everyone should listen to it. It's definitely the most exciting thing related to this genre* that I've heard in the last five years, I love synthwave. Even back when I didn't know it was a whole genre with bands and labels and such, and just referred to it as "you know, those songs with 80s/90s synths that they have now". *I suppose you could call it an extension of EBM? Meh, Perturbator's playing Terminus so it's genre enough for me at least.

Sizone posted:What actual good Outrun bands are there? I've heard and like perturbator, but nothing else I've heard in sampler packs for the genre sounds even remotely as aggressive, interesting or good. Have you heard Carpenter Brut? That was my gateway drug to the genre. Edit: And Dynatron is kind of hit-or-miss for me, but the hits are really good imo. Pope Guilty posted:As I've said before, everybody I know who's into synthwave/Outrun is also into industrial/ebm, and I don't know that many people into industrial/ebm. I have a thought on this: the idea of synthwave/outrun/etc. is sort of replicating the soundtrack to movies that never existed, but they're the kind of movies that people in this scene tend to universally be into (70s horror-exploitation, 90s Terminator-ripoffs). Or if not movies, then SNES/Genesis games which, again, people in the scene are into (because we're all old). Notgothic fucked around with this message at 06:14 on Mar 27, 2015 |

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.

Don't forget Kinetik, which I would have expected to have a fairly competent management after running for six years (I'll grant that's nothing next to the big German festivals). There were signs of things going wrong with that one -- the move was a pretty big red flag that SOMETHING was up -- but I figured it would at least make it through one iteration in Toronto before dying and/or getting a name/management change. Then again, I don't think we really know what happened with that, just that it specifically wasn't the venue? Notgothic fucked around with this message at 23:17 on May 17, 2015 |
