Black Asteroid
Category: Electronic / Techno / Experimental
Album: Thrust
Blurb: Penetrating rhythms, abrasive electronic textures, and a monochromatic audiovisual aesthetic – all hallmarks of Bryan Black’s singular and inimitable style, all presented in a techno tour-de-force that makes Thrust one of his purest artistic achievements.
Word Made Flesh
Category: Industrial / Experimental
Album: Word Made Flesh
Blurb: Leaving behind the catchy hooks in favor of a more severe and scathing sonic direction, this latest outing from Cubanate/Be My Enemy mastermind Phil Barry is sure to test the listener’s auditory limits in the best way possible.
Godflesh
Category: Industrial / Metal / Experimental
Album: Post Self
Blurb: Godflesh has always reached past the confines of strict categorization, and with this latest album, presents some of the most unsettlingly diverse sounds the band has yet produced to create a soundtrack to the shattered self.
Gary Numan
Category: Industrial / Rock / Experimental
Album: Savage (Songs from a Broken World)
Blurb: With his latest studio album, Gary Numan looks outward to take us on a devastating journey through a world reduced to desert, where Eastern and Western cultures collide, where empathy and hope are dead, survival is supreme, and the desire for forgiveness is unfulfilled.
