Prop Wash posted:Wulfband has a new single available on Spotify, "Full Frontal Sabotage." They've also got a picture on their Facebook that says 2017-11, so new Wulfband album coming, probably, or maybe a tour? Whatever, I'm in. That single gives me hope. It's like old school EBM met KMFDM when they were good.

The preview for their upcoming album is just as awesome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FE620-a8dQY So much love for Wulfband. They're just relentlessly making deliberately aggressive and almost incoherently over the top EBM and doing it so well.

Sorry for the double post but the new ESA track is great, and the video is a great contrast to the frequent industrial guy-in-goggles-and-vaguely-military-gear-standing-moodily-on-a-building-site type thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQ1ZzBXkShg

Oh speaking of industrial pop there's a new  BLUTENGEL EP out.Both of the German language songs on it are ... pretty good! Okay they're nothing groundbreaking but it's Blutengel we're talking about. I watched some of their performance at the most recent M'era Luna and the sheer ridiculousness of them continues to win me over; via some kind of supernatural vampire embrace. I'd still get in the pit for Chris Pohl and none of you can stop me. One song is called "Komm zu mir" and, well, the way he says it just makes me wanna komm.

By the way, if you're reading this and haven't read Prester Jane's posts about the otherkin doomsday cult she was in that centered around VNV Nation you gotta read it.

Found it!Prester Jane posted:What really put me over the edge was finding out that a bunch of the alt-right enjoys VNV Nation. For those who don't know VNV Nation is a spectacularly mediocre electropop band with a lead singer who cannot carry a tune in a bucket (and has a terrible singing voice even if he could). However the lyrics of VNV Nation songs appeal directly to the sensibilities of Narrativists and as a result Ronin (the lead singer for VNV Nation) was widely considered to be an angelkin who had come to Earth to write music meant to help us cope with the cruelty of saving humanity from itself. Back in the early aughts VNV Nation concerts in the midwest were practically Otherkin conventions- as in I was literally not the only Otherkin who went to a VNV Nation concert specifically to meet (and potentially recruit to my quasi-cult) other people who believed themselves to be Otherkin. More than once I wound up at a Denny's after a VNV Nation concert with a group of disparate social outcasts who were all trying to find recruits for our personal Inner narrative's/cults.

I'd say I was one of those White Wolf nerds but the past tense would be a lie. I'm from small towns and IDK if I'd have ever discovered goth/industrial music if not for the people I met at LARPs.

I was at a show tonight with Chelsea Wolfe and Youth Code. I brought a friend who doesn't know anything about goth or electro-industrial music, and he instantly got into Youth Code as soon as they played. Also as a bonus because it's Halloween, I ran into a Jesus, a Crow and an Old Gregg. The show was rad as hell, and everyone needs to see Youth Code and/or Chelsea Wolfe live.

Tias posted:I will! Sturm Cafe's Europa album is absolutely great. I don't mean this in a bad way, but Ad:Key and Orange Sector's albums tend to be quite samey (because they have a sound and stick to it) so you can't go wrong with the most recent ones. You might also like Spark! (their recent album Maskiner is really good) If you want to find more bands similar to the ones you mentioned, take a look at past lineups for the Familientreffen festival. Most of the bands who play that festival have a similar sound to the three you mentioned.

Rein is great stuff, I just heard her for the first time because of that playlist I posted above. I didn't know she'd done stuff with Spark!. Actually, I knew almost nothing about Spark! or anything at all going on in Sweden, I just learn about acts when they travel down to Germany and melt my face off like Wulfband and Spetsnaz. Not unless you guys post about them, anyway, so thanks for throwing out some other names! Speaking of Spark!, looks like they got signed up for E-Tropolis next year. Anyone else planning to go? It's an easy sell for me because it's relatively cheap and close, but I can understand not wanting to travel further. For what it's worth I went last year and the infrastructure is pretty decent, good crowd size and lots of energy in the venue.

BrutalistMcDonalds posted:Oh speaking of industrial pop there's a new I didn't and still don't like Black itself too much, but there's some good stuff on the new EP. Komm zu mir and There's No Place are completely generic but the three other new tracks (Seele, Blood Rain and Der letzte Kampf) are all great and better than 90 % of the tracks on Leitbild - I think mostly because they're all slightly unusual tracks for Blutengel. Apart from the opener, the title track and, I dunno, Waste my Time, Leitbild is entirely forgettable. If Pohl is looking into moving into a kind of an old-school Blutengel sound that I feel this EP suggests, I'd be a lot more interested in that than another Omen / Save Us or Leitbild, neither of which I found particularly great. Also, that glitching on Blood Rain is endearingly amateurish. I love it edit: Also, speaking of which - I saw Gothsicles just over a week ago! A local goth club brought Graupner in to Helsinki for a show. I can't say Gothsicles is an act I listen to a lot or am a massive fan of or anything (it gets a bit grating after an album or so, I'd say), but god drat was Brian an energetic dude. He put on an awesome show just on his own with his power glove (with a local DJ doing the laptop duties). a cyborg mug fucked around with this message at 14:38 on Nov 4, 2017 |

Did some digging, and I really love Europa, their other stuff not so much. I heard the same thing about those bands, hah - must be the straight dope. I hadn't heard about Familietreffen, though - thanks a bunch!

So the new Xenturion Prime is out. It's suitably over-the-top trance and good. Makes me want to play one of those spaceflight games like Elite: Dangerous.extradite THIS! posted:I didn't and still don't like Black itself too much, but there's some good stuff on the new EP.

New Faderhead album "Night Physics" is up on Spotify. Distinct synthwave flavor, same mumbly-vocals taste. Leads with "Know Your Darkness," but the title track "Night Physics" is pretty great. I'm also a fan of "Demons Go" and "This is Your World." It probably won't win you over if you aren't already a fan, but I'm looking forward to seeing some of the tracks live to see what that adds.

Speaking of drums, apparently Mark Jackson has left VNV Nation. I'm interested to see what he does next (if anything) since as I understand it, he'd had little to no musical input in years and basically just been there to play live.

They seemed to only do it on that one tour from what I can tell.
