Industrial

Nice and tidy EP, released in between the first two albums, that highlights one exclusive track 'Strain of Frustration', 4 live numbers and a remix of 'Sonic Attack'. If that wasn't enough there's a CD - R om element. Value for money or what?

Misery Loves Co. was a Swedish industrial metal duo of the 1990s and early 2000s. The band combined the hostility of thrash metal riffs with electronic samples usually associated with industrial music. Their lyrics generally focused on bleak sexual visions and pain over troubled relationships. The band was formed in January, 1993, by Patrik Wiren (vocals) and Orjan Ornkloo (guitar, bass, programming). Wiren was previously a member of Midas Touch who had recorded an album with Noise Records, while Ornkloo worked with several bands within his Swedish hometown, Uppsala. Their first recorded track was “Sonic Attack” for a metal compilation Extreme Close Up. Based on the response to the single the band worked with MNW Zone to release their self-titled debut album in 1995. Independent success lead to signing with Earache Records which re-released the album throughout Europe. During live performances, Misery added Jim Edwards (guitar), Marre Ericksson (bass), and Olle Dahlstedt (drums), who was replaced by Niklas Gabrielsson before their first UK show, at the Camden Underworld. Misery Loves Co.’s self titled opening album was widely seen as one of the best albums to come out of the 1990’s European Metal Scene. Tracks such as “Need Another One” and “Kiss Your Boots” hit the club scenes and the band was part of the very successful Earache Records line up at the time. Their second album did away some what with the heavyness of the first, becoming much moodier and darker. But again “Not like them” became a big hit in the emerging metal market. The last Misery Loves album, “Your Vision Was Never Mine to Share” was regarded by many fans as being uptodate. But again was another good album, if not to the same standard of the previous two. Perhaps Misery Loves turned up too soon, and they never managed to really gain the respect and recognition they deserved. If you have never heard of them go and find them, you will not be disappointed. The band broke up after “Your Vision was Never Mine to Share” (2000). Patrik Wiren went on to form the band Alpha Safari (formerly named Washoe) with some former live members from Misery Loves Co. They have released one album titled “Commercial Suicide”

Debut full length of this industrial black/death metal band from Helsinki!

If you want black metal with a strong and serious industrial spirit, this one's certainly a good pick. - Damned By Light

Third album from French dark electro act Haiku Funeral. An innovative, exciting and twisted nightmare. Haiku Funeral generate an atmosphere of black, bleak, ironic paradox. Cold industrial ambiance meets darkwave experimentation, liberally seasoned with death/doom and driven by the twin engines of pulsing, virtuoso bass and hoarse, snarling, savagely crazed voice. Horrifying imagery of death, madness and godless depravity, developing the musical themes to new levels of maturity and subversiveness. Whilst the listener is drawn in like a moth to a flame, by the appealing rhythms and textures of post-everything avant-garde, the darkest of messages is being whispered direct to their cortex.

French experimental/post rock/black metal/ambient/industrial/death/doom.

Bleak death industrial ambient for the fearless, a dark initiation co-existing with lo-fi noise and raw black metal visitations - an eclectic diversion of auditory dissonance and dissidence. Features members of Karna, Sickrites, Baal Zebuth, Cyber Baphomet etc. A true underground and occult aura surrounds this act of darkness. Highly anticipated...

BLACK DEPTHS GREY WAVES is a black occult industrial project from the sickened minds of Clint Listing (As All Die, Long Winters Stare, When Joy Becomes Sadness) and Saint Ov Gravediggers (Ordo Tyrannis, Grim Pig)

Noise-filled, black industrial, occult evocations - music that will make you feel at one with your disturbed mind.
