Digital Escort – “Dirty” – Single Review Well now…ain’t this interesting? Who said that DE was dead? It’s only been about SIX YEARS since Digital Escort was kickin’ out a series of hardcore Industrial jams – and yes…you can count me among the folks that started to assume they’d packed it in as a band.

Dracliminal – “Summertime Sadness” (Drill Remix) – Single Review Call me crazy, but it just seemed like the most appropriate time to release this review was to wait until we were all officially in the summer season…because who doesn’t want a little sadness to go with the heat, am I right?

Smoky Ghosts Of Big Trees – fin(n) – Album Review Talk about a way to get people interested! The way this record starts out with “Gunfight In Your Mind (2023 Album Mix)” is something else y’all, I tell ya.

Zanilonia – “Meet The Metal Me” – Single Review Perception is such an interesting thing in relation to the way we listen to, and experience music. I’ll fully admit that when Zanilonia’s new single “Meet The Metal Me” popped into my inbox, I honestly thought that I was gonna be in for a song literally […]Read More
Frank Zeno – “Anyways” – Single Review Been about a year & a half since we last heard from Frank Zeno, back when we reviewed his single “Hey Hey!” in January of 2022, and of course our history in listening to the man goes back even further to his cut called “Panic Attack” from 2021…it’s […]Read More
