Haujobb has been a part of the gothic/EBM/industrial music scene for 25 years. Although their early work was inspired by Sci-Fi movies and industrial music icons Skinny Puppy, their sound is hard to label; it may be described as a mix of different styles wrapped up in the unique and distinctive Haujobb music expression. Their live shows are always special; Haujobb will never leave you cold-hearted. We finally had the opportunity to talk to…

  We had the pleasure recently of asking Chris Connelly pretty much anything, from the inspiration behind his new album Bloodhounds, to his involvement with other projects, including an upcoming compilation, a couple of appearances with Al Jourgensen, and his contribution to the upcoming Front Line Assembly album. It was hard to narrow down the questions, as he’s simply done so much and is such an influence both in the industrial music scene, particularly the…

  3Teeth is an industrial music act from Los Angeles, USA. During the last few years, since their debut album 3Teeth, the band has become quite successful and unavoidable name of the industrial music scene. Their music expression followed the footsteps of some industrial titans such as KMFDM. However, the band has the distinguishable and unique sound; they emerged as the new force of the industrial music genre. I saw their live act in 2016…

  This March the fairly enigmatic, yet increasingly popular Australian duo VOWWS, who currently reside in Los Angeles, released their second full-length album Under The World. Music critics have been trying to define the sound of VOWWS by comparing them with the possible music influences. However, one can’t describe their work so easily. It is generated from the combination of outside inputs and personalities of Matt and Rizz which make their work sound so genuine…

  Kirlian Camera’s latest album Hologram Moon was released on 26 January on Dependent Records. We took the opportunity to ask the band a few questions regarding their past, present and future. Kirlian Camera is the band of the outstanding reputation and legacy; their music expression exceeds the interest of gothic music fans. However, most of their performances are visited by those of the “darker” sensibility and taste. 1. Ever since you started the project,…

  Astari Nite are a rising band from Miami. Formed in 2008, their blend of new-wave and post-punk is inspired by iconic acts like The Cure, New Order, Depeche Mode, and Placebo. As a consequence, Astari Nite offer a timeless combination of thoughtful lyricism, stirring vocals, and 80’s instrumentalism. Victoria Fenbane caught up with lead vocalist Mychael Ghost, after Astari Nite had returned home from their debut UK tour with Das Ich. Mychael revealed the…

  Although She Past Away come from Turkey, their dark-wave and post-punk sound resonates with the gothic audience all over the world. They already won our hearts with their first album Belirdi Gece, released in 2012. The band started playing more extensively in Europe and we soon had the opportunity to see them on stage. The second album Narin Yalnızlık was received with enthusiasm and the band continued putting out successful shows. In 2017 the…

  Soft Riot is a solo project of the Canadian artist Jack Duckworth (JJD). However, Jack has been living in the UK for the past decade where he became a notable part of the synth music scene. His sound is rather distinguishable; it’s described as minimal synth art-punk disco by the artist. Although one can hear various musical influences in his work, Soft Riot’s artistic expression has its own distinctive signature. Jack is undoubtedly inspired…
