We had a pleasure of talking to A-ha co-founder and keyboard player Magne Furuholmen about his upcoming third solo album, White Xmas Lies. In this interview, Magne has revealed his inspiration for this beautiful and emotionally rich, yet at times dark and melancholic album about Christmas. Magne is most known for his work with A-ha. He co-wrote many of the band’s hit songs, including their most famous hit ‘Take On Me’. He is also a very…

  KMFDM is a name every industrial music fan will recognize easily. Since their inception in 1984, they’ve been one of the trailblazers of the genre, giving fans new twists and refreshing takes on industrial while also giving them the heavy, loud beats they know and love. With a revolving door of collaborators and a lineup in constant evolution, KMFDM is a great example of both how flexible industrial music can be, and how a…

  I sat down with Curse Mackey before his performance in Los Angeles a few weeks ago, where he shared a bill with old friends My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult. Whether you first heard him as the singer of Texas-based industrial noise act Evil Mothers, with the Grim Faeries, as a contributing vocalist for My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult, or on one of his many collaborations with industrial supergroup Pigface, if…

  I had the exquisite pleasure of talking music, hairstyling, art, and tattoos (of all things!) with Wax Trax! alumni and industrial music legend Frankie Nardiello, known to most of us as Groovie Mann, charismatic and creative frontman of everybody’s favorite dark disco darlings, My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult. Here he shares his fondest memories of Wax Trax! founders Jim Nash and Dannie Flescher, and takes us on a little journey of Thrill…

  I first heard ACTORS in 2017, after my friend Filip from Side-Line Magazine introduced me to their music by sending me a link to their music video. They piqued my interest in a way that not many newer acts do. I was rather excited when their debut album It Will Come To You was finally released in March 2018. Although they rely on post-punk and new-wave influences, their approach to the genres is fresh…

  With work for bands like London After Midnight, Skinny Puppy and ohGr, Kanga, Indradevi, and even more under his belt, Matthew Setzer has shown himself to be quite a talented and prolific musician. His technical and academic background in music is just as impressive as the list of bands he’s worked with; he boasts a Bachelor of Music in Composition/Technology from the University of Montana, a Master of Fine Arts in Experimental Sound Practices…

  Matt Hart is a multi-talented UK electronic/industrial music artist. He has been writing music under his own name for about 15 years, while playing guitar and bass with London industrialist CONCRETE LUNG and DJing at Slimelight. After the release of the back catalogue Anthology of Corrosion in 2017, he continues to write new material and performs a number of shows. 1. Your biography is quite impressive. You play violin, viola, and trumpet and you…

  I had the pleasure of speaking with the multi-talented Joe Crudgington recently, frontman of UK/LA industrial rock newcomers Drownd, who have recently joined the Armalyte Records roster just in time for an exciting summer of new music. Check the links below for Drownd’s new album and music video for “Sick Like You.”  How did you guys hook up with Armalyte and who are your other favorite Armalyte bands? Joe: Basically I’d put the track…

  I kept having to add questions to this interview because Raymond and Giles/Armalyte Records have both been so prolific since PIG’s tour with Killing Joke this past fall. It speaks somewhat to my tendency to agonize over what to say to people I admire so much, but more so to PIG’s relentless productivity since the launch of Risen this past June. Sure enough, now we’ve got some new offerings from the Lord of Lard…
