For his latest album as IAMX, Chris Corner has repurposed his remix moniker as the title for a new series exploring his more experimental leanings, Unfall.

Three years after their debut album “Shift To Evil”, the German EBM formation Akalotz strikes back with its new opus “Confront”. Released on Electro Aggression Records, the new songs reveal a solid and well-crafted EBM sound. I asked master mind Thorsten Haury to answer a few questions. (by Inferno Sound Diaries) Q: I noticed Akalotz is celebrating its 10th anniversary! How do you look back at 10 years of Akalotz and what have been your greatest accomplishments so far? Thorsten: When we started with Akalotz 10 years ago it was initially only a side-project in which we wanted to express our affinity to EBM. Later on it became the most important project in our lives. There were several changes during this time, so instruments were often replaced to create the typical Akalotz sound. In addition and in the beginning, there was an important change in the line-up. Alex left the band and was completely replaced by Nico. In 2013 through various Youtube videos and the presence on Facebook, we were able to play at the family meeting in Sandersleben. This was the beginning of our intensive tour and the release of 2 albums plus remixes for friendly bands. The biggest […]

After a four year absence Belgian electronic project Implant returns with its tenth full-length album, Oxynoxe-X. The all new album is the product of the group’s grueling process of “write-delete-rewrite” to strip the songs down to the essentials while still maintaining the complex layers of driving beats, voracious sounds, hypnotic melodies, and the acerbic vocals […]
