Byzantine - The Fundamental Component

My apologies to all you rock and metal fans out there for not giving you something to chew on for a while. But to appease your appetite, I supply you with this: Byzantine's The Fundamental Component. This album is right at the line between hard rock and light metal; the guitars are heavy and the vocals are harsh, but not so much that it sounds like true metal. When listened to, there almost seems to be a drone influence on the guitars, making for quite the interesting listen. Overall, this is a very solid album that belongs in the collection of any fan of any rock/metal fan.

Miles Davis - Doo-Bop

Ah, Miles Davis. We've all heard of him. His influence in both the jazz and overall musical world are renowned. With Doo-Bop, his final album, Miles takes things a step further. While he plays trumpet, there is generally a funky hip hop sound that seems to be influenced by acid jazz. On top of that, there is the incredible rapping of Easy Mo Bee, which just fills out the album and puts the cherry on top. This is a vital album for the collection of either jazz or hip hop/rap fans. I recommend highly.

Cesium 137 - Elemental

Cesium 137 is an interesting band, to say the least. They fuse dance floor oriented synthpop with slightly more aggressive industrial influences in order to create a rather unique sound. The vocals are generally deeper than most electronic bands care to go, and they are also ,surprisingly, not very harsh, in contrast with some of the music. As for the music, it is very impressive to say the least. The beats and synths are very catchy and danceable, but there is also a lot going on in there. It's a lot more complex than many other bands of this genre, and you can listen to a song a few times and here something new each time. A very pleasing experience.

Acid Ice Flows - Utumno

Acid Ice Flows is a band that you will never here about beyond this post. I got them from the Metropolis mail order website, and I'm glad I did. AIF creates very aggressive industrial music, but is only dance music in the loosest terms. I find that I couldn't dance to this, but rather nod my head and become engrossed with the music. Although Utumno is not overly complex or amazingly crafted, it is still a very solid album for fans of Harsh EBM or other aggressive industrial subgenres. The first track, Embrace The Ground, seems to be the highlight of the album. I highly recommend.

Grendel - Harsh Generation

Grendel is like being in a battlefield of electronic synths and pounding bass. The synths fly high above, creating an amazing danceable rhythm, while the cannons of bass create a world-shaking beat to move your feet to. That said, this album is another no-filler type of work. Other than the intro and the outro, this disc is 8 works of art that will make you drench your dance outfit in sweat. Void Malign, Harsh Generation, Dirty, ALL the songs on here are true EBM/Hellektro masterpieces, meant to be danced to until the day is done. I really do hope you enjoy.

We're Making A Switch

ATTENTION: We are now uploading to MediaFire rather than Megaupload. If you don't like this, please vote in the poll.

The reason for doing this is because MediaFire is easier to use, and you can download as many files as you want at the same time. It also scans for viruses, in case you don't trust us ;).

A new album will also be up soon enough.

Thanks for reading and downloading!

Rihanna: Good Girl Gone Bad

Whether your looking for great music or just something sexy to look at, Rihanna is always a great choice. Her album, "Good Girl Gone Bad", features hit singles like Umbrella (Featuring Jay-Z), Hate That I Love You (Featuring Ne-Yo), and Shut Up And Drive. The albums tracks have great beat, most with a nice, quick rhythm that's perfect to dance to. This album is a perfect pick me up, pump up or party playlist, and a great addition to any collection.

Praxis - Sacrifist

Sacrifist is quite an album, but it most certainly isn't for everyone. This CD I borrowed from my father, and I must say it is equal parts bizarre and extreme. To start, Praxis has a lot of people coming in to help with this album. John Zorn, Blind Idiot God, Buckethead, Bootsy Collins and Bernie Warrell from P-Funkers, Mick Harris from Napalm Death, and Yamatsuka Eye from The Boredoms all show up to throw their respective talents into the mix. With that said, the actual music on this album is not exactly what one might expect. Sure, on the surface, it's a thrashy speedy type of metal. But sounds of breaking glass, ambient electronics, and other strange noises come in to make it a very, well, noisy and aggressive album. The vocals are simply screams and growls. No actual words are formed, just shrieking and screaming. All in all, this is an album for those looking for something different, but not for those who are weak of heart.

:Wumpscut: - Bone Peeler

Sorry for not giving you something to chew on for so long, industrial fans. Let me make it up to you with the 2004 album of musical genius Rudy Ratzinger, or as we know him, :Wumpscut:. This album revisits the older mid-nineties sound of :W: and incorporates modern electronics into them, making for gritty, aggressive tracks that manage to pay homage to older :W: without sounding the same. Songs like 'March Of The Dead' and 'Crown Of Thorns' show typical hardcore industrial music made for the dance floors, but Rudy has also thrown in some slower, calmer tracks such as 'Your Last Salute' and 'In The Peace Of Night'. All in all, it's a really good album, and a necessary one for all fans of :Wumpscut:.

Aesop Rock: None Shall Pass

Bringing up another Aesop Rock album, "None Shall Pass" is the latest installment to the Aesop Rock legacy. This album continues his streak of stringing together tongue twisters over beats that will be stuck in your head for days. This is the only album I've heard to date that has pirates, physics lessons, and a plea to reinstate Pluto as a planet (The Harbor is Yours, Fumes, and Bring Back Pluto respectively) Aesop stuns once again in an amazing set of tracks that will leave you awed at his agile lyrics.

Track of the Album: For this album, I must say that "Coffee" is hands down my favorite. It's relatively easy to learn compared to other Aesop songs, and it feels like a major accomplishment when you do. <3 "Coffee"

Gorillaz - Gorillaz

Don't let the fact that the Gorillaz are rather popular deter you from this great album. The 'virtual band' is composed of the cartoon characters 2D, Noodle, Russel, and Mordoc. With that said, it is difficult do define this album. It switches genres in a heart beat, but seems to stay close to the hip-hop like funk that is prevalent on this CD. Songs like 'Punk' and 'Slow Country' are very different musically, but still have the musical signature of the Gorillaz. Definitely an album to download if you are a fan of hip-hop, alt rock, or just good music. NOTE: this is, unfortunately, the 'clean' version of this album. Fortunately, there are only a few blank spots on this album due to it. You wont be missing a whole lot.

Aesop Rock: Daylight [EP]

Fans of hip hop and rap have a reason to rejoice. Aesop Rock is one of the few rappers out there with bigger things to talk about than bitches and money. His lyrics are meaningful, flow amazingly, and will have you wondering about them for quite a time. Most notably are the first two tracks, "Daylight" and "Nightlight". Daylight, even starting at the beat, is a slow flowing, laid back look at life, with what ifs and indecision. Nightlight, however, expresses a much darker duality, taking some lines from Daylight, and twisting them to quite different meanings. These two songs alone will have you listening to the album for hours. Deep lyrics, mesmerizing beats, and mind boggling tongue twisters bring hip hop back to it's roots. Don't let the white skin fool you, Aesop Rock has rap in his soul.

Beck - Mellow Gold

I don't care what anybody thinks, this album belongs in the collection of any music fan. Beck is probably most famous for his song 'Loser', which is on this album. Loser itself is a really good song, and all the songs on this CD are just as good. There is really no filler on this album. It is a bunch of lyrical and musical genius. As you may know, Beck has a way with words. His lyrical prowess may even evoke laughter at times. His musical style is strangely experimental, but not in a way where it gets in the way of his music. All in all, this is definitely an album that belongs on your music catalog.

Funker Vogt - Thanks For Nothing

Those familiar with the industrial/EBM dance scene probably already know of Funker Vogt. Thanks For Nothing, their first release, is nothing short of amazingly aggressive beats and vocals creating a dancefloor storm. Songs like Black Hole and Animals help set the mood, for they are dark both musically and lyrically. To be quite honest, this album is different from their later releases. The synths are more gritty, the beats more aggressive, the vocals more harsh. But it is a good album in its own right, and a must have for the Funker Vogt fan, or those who like the harsh EBM scene.

Skymning - Artificial Supernova

Boy oh boy, have I got a treat for all of you obscure metal fans. Skymning is a band I picked up for 5 bucks at a used music store, and has been in constant rotation for me as of late. The heavy guitars and mad drumming create insanely good industrial death metal that is really not like any other I've ever heard. There are usually a small amount of lyrics, allowing for more focus on the guitar riffs and basslines. I highly recommend if you are a fan of either death, black, or industrial metal.
