Review: Maduro - Death Masks (Crunch Pod)

Artist: MADURO
Album: DEATH MASKS
Label: CRUNCH POD
 

Death Masks is the new album by the extremely talented US based artist Maduro. Over all, it's a dark industrial hybrid sound blending and fusing a lot of different sounds. The constant shifting of complexed rhythms and dark tones kept ones attention all the way through from start to finish. This release will keep any listener very happy indeed.

This has to be one of the best releases I have heard for a while my favourite track from the whole of this album has to be Wvrms, Excellent stuff!

Review: Manufactura - And The World Succumbs To Vermin (Crunch Pod)

Artist: MANUFACTURA

Album: AND THE WORLD SUCCUMBS TO VERMIN
Label: CRUNCH POD
 

This release marks the 10th and final studio album of US Based master of disaster Karlos M and what a journey is has been. This album sports a wall of really dark ambient and intricate sounds, exactly what I would expect of one of the industrial scenes legends. Every single album from this guy has been a total masterpiece, whilst having a varied core sound from blistering Rhythm & Noize to Dark Ambient never fails to amaze me with every release.

My favourite tracks are "their worthless love has poisoned our hearts and "in this time of plague and pestileance".

Review: Maschinenkrieger KR52 - Stroke Unit (Hands Productions)

Artist: MASCHINENKRIEGER KR52

Album: STROKE UNIT

Label: HANDS PRODUCTIONS

 

Maschninekreiger KR52 is back, less Disraptor this time, This release is the first one solo and he totally delivered with this crushing and punishing release of chaos and relentless power noise assaults. 

The distorted elements of this release and the sledge hammer beats are enough to whip up any crowd at the clubs or events into a frenzy, take a listen and you will most definitely agree. 

Tracks like Theme 2 and Halo are naturally my cup of tea.

Amazing release!
