FEATURED ALBUMS
"THE ORACLE marks the debut for Despirator, a project of Renée Ilardi and Matt Collins... Traditional Qualities of the gothic world are here as far as instrumentation, but it is the melodious synth structures and programming along with well-crafted unobstructed female vocals that give this release its strength. The mood of THE ORACLE shifts gently from old world sounds to darkwave, ethereal-goth, the edge of pop... This is truly an original release that is worth checking out."
- Outburn Magazine
DYSTOPIA NOW - HAZMAT "Heavy, electronic-laced, guitar-driven industrial. Aggressive and focused, this first album from Hazmat is a manifesto of machine rock."
- Virus Magazine
"Crunchy power chord driven industrial rock on the verge of metal... reminiscent of Ministry circa 'The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste' or White Zombie."
- ReGen Magazine
THE INFERNAL DEVICE "8 out of 10"
"With Earthworm, you are taken somewhere dark. In addition to the programmed industrial sounds, there is a bit of ambient noise as well. The basic tone of the album lies with deep, very heavy bass sounds, which offer a solid underground for the electronic sounds. In addition to the melodic, but very dark sounds, Earthworm overlays the loops in a cohesive way with numerous effects and samples

ARTISTS
FEATURED ALBUMS
AZRAEL TRIGGER - SEASON TO SEVER "With this first release, Season to Sever, Gus Yoo has brought together half a dozen other artists to produce a solid effort. The album opens with the very infectious and energetic "Choke," which features harsh beats and hooks reminiscent of Front Line Assembly's work on Hard Wired, and is expertly topped with a healthy dose of aggressive vocals."
- ReGen Magazine
SYMBIOTIC - DIVIDE
"This album offers pure industrial, with proper electro beats, and also some guitar. One can hear influences brought together: harsh EBM and trip hop, all appropriately formulated. Above all the songs have good production, beautifully aggressive and full of power. The album is reminiscent of some albums by Front Line Assembly. Overall, a mad album, with some guitar work that will please metal fans as well. Included on this album are remixes by Life Cried, Terrorfakt and Hazmat."
- PGB Music-Discovery, Germany
NEUROPLAGUE - ALTER "The absolute correct proportion of guitars meshing with driving percussion, whirling cyber noises and suitably appropriate samples to create the perfect cyber-industrial thrash sound. Even Front Line Assembly could learn a thing or two about utilizing the guitar as an instrument from this band after the debacle of the most recent album. Definitely check these guys out."
