Armor-Piercing posted:Can I get some recommendations of (good) bands with female vocalists? At the moment I think I've only got The Birthday Massacre and Chiasm, not counting bands with occasional/backup female vocalists like Blutengel. I'm not looking for any particular subgenre at the moment, though I generally favor poppy stuff. How to Destroy Angels may count. I think their self-titled EP is all female vocals. Then there's Ladytron, which is more synthpop but still good! Switchblade Symphony is female-led (more gothy than industrial but w/e you cited Collide, speaking of which Ego Likeness is basically indistinguishable from Collide to me and it's female-led too). Kidneythieves is a great group with a female lead vocalist. Also Angelspit, which is an awesome act and mainly female-led. edit: well Angelspit is kind of the guy and girl singing at the same time? Give them a try anyway.

edit: you know what, I feel bad comparing the new Seabound album to Double-Crosser. The new album is worth listening to and feels very consistent and well-produced throughout. The Escape is probably my favorite track but I think I was also primed to like it because of the Dependence compilation.

Nah it's just that Double-Crosser was such a great album, and my original phrasing was I think "It's not Double-Crosser, but..." which is sort of unfair to say. I'd prefer to just say how I feel about it and then other people can listen to it and make their own judgment without preconceived comparisons. Having said that I definitely didn't notice the lyrics about the plane and the carnival

There is a new The Birthday Massacre album out, it's ok I guess? They're definitely moving back in the right direction from the kind of boring chuggy guitars from the last couple albums I think, but most of the songs just seem to get a little bogged down. Then again I miss the bouncy pop atmosphere of their first few albums so what do I know! e: it's up on Spotify if you do Spotify, there's also the full album on Youtube but that's of questionable legality/ethics

Can't speak for the entire subgenre but I thought Speak in Storms was a strong album overall, even with that song about the airplane crashing on top of some clowns. If there's just a crushing amount of Seabound-like music coming out then by all means post some other good examples!

Angelspit is great music, they use the term electropunk but I like to think of them as a tidal wave of obscenity and distortion. I can't speak to their new music, guitars or not, although it's worth noting that guitars have killed more than one electro-industrial band. I'm looking at you, Apoptygma Berzerk.

DestroyX was the soul of Angelspit a lot more than Zoog was, I think, and a lot of their most memorable songs feature her. There's one memorable song for me that features Zoog, but it's Juicy, and it's not the good kind of memorable. I think she's gone for good, since the Angelspit website no longer mentions her at all except for credits. Oh well that's a shame, thanks for bringing me down on this nice day electro-industrial thread

Hardcore Pong, a kickstarter by the Gothsicles and Angelspit. I don't even know what to make of the music, but I got a lot of really cool extras the last time I backed a Gothsicles kickstarter, so I guess I'm in on this one. Edit: also the rewards get pretty weird, it starts off normal and then turns into the big angelspit equipment fire sale. Prop Wash fucked around with this message at 14:47 on Feb 19, 2015 |

Sizone posted:Man, you want to push the boundaries and make original music, listen to Too Dark Park, like, 8 zillion times and make poo poo like that because no one else ever really got it. Destroy melody, hide it in the base line, construct your music out of timbres and rhythms, make sound collages by mangling samples. That's gonna get you a lot farther than playing Real Life at 78 speed. Also, if anyone approaches you with an Access Virus, punch them in the loving face. Aside from how extremely bad nightcore is, based on the four songs I have listened to, that was actually the Zeromancer version of Send Me an Angel

So that there new "We Are the Alchemists" album (https://audiotrauma2.bandcamp.com/album/we-are-the-alchemists), featuring Architect, Sonic Area, and Hologram_, is pretty strong. 49 minutes of IDM-style buzzes and whirrs and all sorts of noises that sound like a soundtrack to a robot porn. It starts off with a track (Steaming the Lab) that honestly sounds reminiscent of FLA's Airmech soundtrack, but the rest of the album does all that sonic landscape business and also has some way tight rhythms and basslines. Anyway, I think it's a really great headphones album and it's available on Bandcamp and also on Spotify if that's how you roll. edit: my favorites after an initial listen are Steaming the Lab, Solaris Splendor, Primordial Soup, and A Small Glimpse Into Eternity (which was apparently the promo track). Talking with Birds is a fun track but I still have no idea what to think about it. Prop Wash fucked around with this message at 19:00 on Oct 25, 2015 |

I am an old man who probably will want to actually get some sleep at some point. Also congratulations on the shoutout by ID:YD!Current Electronic Saviors thoughts: I can't decide whether the Ashbury Heights track is one of their best or one of their worst, the Ghost & Writer track absolutely should be listened to with headphones, and it's nice that Iris is back to doing exactly what Iris does

The entire FLA set was fantastic. Not a miss among the set list, and he worked Echogenetic stuff into the older material very well. It was about half and half I think? A lot of the songs on Echogenetic that sound a bit dramatic on the album (Blood, Deadened) sound great live. I may have to put my groupie plans on hold though, looks like this was their last date in 2016. Not having a proper appreciation for older vs newer Megaherz, I thought the entire set was fun. Same for Spetznaz, whom I knew nothing about prior to the show. I'll definitely be checking them out in the future. Aesthetic Perfection was... the lead singer sounds like a croakier Fred Durst. Having seen Limp Bizkit in my misspent youth, this was not a selling point for me. Like CAN! said, the guy on the keyboard was really fun to watch. There was so much fog machine that you really didn't get to see him too often, but when you did he often had both legs up on his bench. I guess that's a good summary of the set: the keyboard guy was fun to watch. There were a few good tracks, which I'll post out of fairness when I get back to my computer at home. Luckily there's no such thing as too much futurepop because I thought Neuroticfish did a good job being Neuroticfish. The only songs they played off their new album that I can remember were Silence and Is It Dead, which I thought were interesting choices, but of course you also got The Bomb, Velocity, Music for a Paranormal Life and so on. Not much variation from the recorded versions, but I suppose that happens when you go on hiatus for so long. Great first day, looking forward to Covenant, Project Pitchfork and Editors!

Yeah man it was a really great time, thanks for showing me where to stand during Project Pitchfork (front and center, we got really close, it was awesome). I can confirm that there are two living people in this thread now (except maybe if CAT rear end now!!! is now dead, RIP) Solar Fake was fine I hate Suicide Commando because I'll dance to drat near anything even if it has disgusting lyrics and aesthetics and I guess gently caress this band? They had the best visual setup of the entire show, which is a shame because mostly it was pictures of corpses. Covenant was excellent. My first time seeing them and they didn't disappoint. It's nice that Eskil's stage presence is so positive - he seemed to be genuinely having a great time and the crowd was really energized. A nice mix of songs, including a lot of classics but also Lightbringer, which was surprisingly great live. I think Daniel Myer was also singing during it? I said he looked like a gremlin that works at a university, which is a little mean but on the other hand:  That's still better than what I said about Mono Inc on Saturday, which is that their lead singer looks like Phil from the Rugrats:  It was my first Project Pitchfork show as well, and they also didn't disappoint. Three drummers is a lot of drummers but they made it work. The crowd was going crazy, and they played a great setlist, and yeah. I feel a little bad because other than their classics I didn't know a lot of the lyrics because I don't listen to them a lot at home. I'll have to fix that because I'm definitely going to more of their shows in the future. Here we split and I saw Editors instead. They played an excellent set - I knew very little about Editors previously, except that they were really popular. They turned out to be a great closing band! Kind of a new wave/indie rock thing, a little bit like Joy Division I guess? Here's some songs if you're interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvBLM86lP9s Life is a Fear https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugWtuTmiGLM Munich https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKdDgtT18EA A Ton of Love (Live) As far as Aesthetic Perfection goes, I found the song I liked, which is appropriate because it sounds more synthpoppy and much less like the rest of their work https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VzBA6Didx4 - Never Enoughalso to follow up on Spetsnaz, here's a very good song that really highlights their aesthetic. Listening to it now I'm not surprised they work well live. What sounds almost a little too tight on the recording just really fills the venue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9T6qjndQ5o Free Fall ok that's it, other people can post in this thread now Prop Wash fucked around with this message at 15:42 on Jul 25, 2016 |

Good call, Vapor was the other track I really liked. The New Black was pretty fun too, although like I said I really just can't get over his voice. I stand by my statement that he sounds like a croaky Fred Durst, and as a native North Carolinian I know me some Fred Durst. On the Necessary Response project he sounds a lot like the lead singer of Iris though, which Wikipedia has informed me is a genre called "indietronica": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sOKQf9H_tk Speaking of Iris they had a really great synthpop track remixed by Intuition on the newest Electronic Saviors compilation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mTENYcFuDY And to follow up on the Daniel Myer talk from the concert, this is the album I was talking about (which someone else may or may not have posted earlier): "we are the alchemists," featuring Architect, Hologram_ and Sonic Area https://audiotrauma2.bandcamp.com/album/we-are-the-alchemists It's mostly experimental, no vocals, etc. but very good.

CAT rear end now!!! posted:I kind of forgot to post about it! I actually heard the full album back in July because a German friend of mine got it early (he'd given advice to Scheuber on some medical stuff he needed for the lyrics and got the CD as a thank you). Like we discussed in the Slack channel, I think it's a surprisingly solid album and Scheuber has a really good voice. I do think the album could've done with a bit of trimming, maybe drop one or two of the weaker tracks. But nonetheless it's a great debut solo album. Kind of crazy that Scheuber hadn't done any solo stuff or even side projects before this. He's been in Project Pitchfork for like 25 years after all. Frank M. Spinath, the vocalist, also sings for Ghost and Writer if you'd like more of his soothing voice. Their recent track on the Electronic Saviors compilation was really great. If you'd prefer to hear him in more of a speaking role, you could also go take a psychology class from him at the University of Saarland.

But we feel it's naive rather than stupid and as a Halloween track it is probably THE classic (together with Monster Mash which we also considered).
