Synthetisch Lebensform - Initialization

Synthetisch Lebensform (aka Synthetische Lebensform) is an industrial duo from Murmansk. Despite (or perhaps thanks to) the location they create some very 90s European sounding industrial that should appeal to any old school industrialist.

It's available as a free download from Bandcamp.

Mind Teardown - Cybernetica

I have listen a bit to Mind Teardownearlier, but this album is in my mind the best one I've heard so far. It's hard and dirty and has flavours of old school industrial like Skinny Puppy and Front Line Assembly.

Get the album for free at Bandcamp.

Chrome Corps - Intimidation Tactics 353

They seem to be a bit undecided about what tyo call themselves as they use both Chrome Corps and Chrome Corpse, but they are a Seattle EBM band. The sound is hard as it should. Almost a bit anhalt EBM with a touch of industrial banging on metal and samples.

The EP is available as a free download from Bandcamp.

Gasoline Invertebrate - Freak Passenger

This is a four track EP with remixes from Gasoline Invertebrate. The tracks are dance friendly industrial and easy to listen to. The different remixes makes sure each track has it's own unique style.

Available as a free download from Bandcamp.

Bella Lune - Within Reach

A free single with Bella Lune's special type of darkwave. As you can expect you get the frail, haunting, etheral voice combined with the clear electronic background music that makes Bella Lune so special.

Heavy industrial beats, dark electronic music and EBM style vocals makes this a very interesting release. It's dark and heavy, but very danceable.

Jeff Clark's - Confused

Here is an interesting post-punk / darkwave EP from the French band Jeff Clark's and they don't appear to be confused as they know what they are doing. Their mix of electronic sounds and traditional instruments should appeal to both old school goths and those who prefer more electronic sounds.

It is a free download from Bandcamp.

This is the third compilation from Russian Dak Community and it's a massive one with 39 tracks. It contains both artist I have listen to before as well as artists I've never heard about before.

MAäSK - Eclipse of Man

From California comes the band with the strange name of MAäSK and they deliver aggressive deathrock with a strong leaning towards punk rock. Noisy and very good.

Available as a free download from Bandcamp.

Data Witch - Demonology

Poppy electronic sounds combined with darkness in the background and haunting vocals makes up the content of this EP by the Canadian entity known as Data Witch.

It is a free download from Bandcamp.

Batch ID - Järnrörsdans

A bit of Swedish humorous and political EBM (the title and text is a reference where some MPs from Sverigedemokraterna filmed themselves harassing immigrants and women and later armed themselves with iron bars) from Gothenburg's Batch ID. Musically it's a bit too poppy for my taste it could easily have been harder.

Free download from Bandcamp.

Pulseborg - RE​:​EV

Pulseborg is an anhalt EBM act from Argentina formed in 2011 and apart from two tracks on two compilations this 2012 EP is their only release. A bit sad really because it's actually quite good and they sing in English so there is no problem understanding the lyrics either.

A free download from Bandcamp.

Paranoia Musique Vol. 4

Paranoia Musique from Brazil have published this compilation of gothic tracks. The styles range from more traditional post-punk to heavier electronic tracks.
