Industrial Black Metal / Progressive Speedcore Album

Ever since I started producing music at age 15, I had an idea for a specific genre, or rather, concept:
"Progressive Speedcore".
I didn't choose the name until much later, though, and it probably isn't the right term.

As a Hardcore and Speedcore fan, I noticed that a lot of tracks had a similar structure.
What I yearned to listen to instead were tracks that had speed changes, ambient passages, atonal and arrhythmic sequences, experimentation, bleeding into other genres, even from different or ancient cultures.
A bit like the most experimental of prog- or krautrock.
Hence the name.

I tried to do this for several decades. And here are parts of these results.

And I also aimed at industrial black metal / blackened speedcore in most tracks.
They often lack guitar sounds, though.
Yet, "guitar-less" black metal projects do exist.
So I consider this to be a form of industrial black metal in which the synths play a prominent role.

An additional note: for the guitar parts, I used guitar modeling instead of "real" guitars.

Considering what I wrote above, it might be best to term this as a kind of "progressive black metal speedcore" release.

90s Summertime Hardcore Mixmarathon

Do you remember the New Years Eve 90s Hardcore Mixmarathon show on Youtube?
One night, 6+ hours of music to ring in the new year with a blast.

And now, almost exactly half a year later, there is already the second edition in this concept!
Just in time for the Summer Solstice and change of seasons, we welcome the warm, cozy and relaxing summertime days with - some very grim, frightening, and loud Hardcore beats!

The "Quartet of Inferno" has assembled for this special show once more.
The overall theme is the 90s scene, and every avenger is assigned to a special style:

1. Low Entropy (Hamburg, Germany) will bring us the cold, chilled beats of Doomcore, Dark Techno and Industrial.
2. Gabbergirl (Minnesota, USA) takes things Even Furthur in Minnesota and drops the bass: the best in Acid and Acidcore!
3. Nikaj (The Netherlands) guides us to the underground Hardcore and Gabber scene of the 90s and plays some tracks that existed outside of the "big commercial CDs", too.
4. DJ Asylum (Bathgate, United Kingdom) finally slams the lid on the coffin with a set of all-out Terror, Speedcore, Noisecore, and other nastiness.

Low Entropy did a special video stream for the show as well.

It runs along the audio and is designed in the style of the video jockey mixes and reels that were so popular at Techno parties in the 90s.

So expect some trippy visuals and cut-up footage - going on for the full time of the show.

And there is a chatroom, where you can talk to us and the other weirdos.

So - be there or be square!

The Decade of Hardcore Techno: 1994 / 1995 (DJ Mix Set)

 

Doomcore Records Pod Cast 094

Adrian Scales sent us a new mix for the Doomcore Records Pod Cast, and it is a conceptual mix... they explain it:

"From The Fool to The World, each track is related to a specific card of the Tarot.
Some tracks are seemingly connected by sharing the same name as the card, but it runs deeper... I only chose tracks that, according to my intuition, contain parts of the meaning, energy, secret of the respective card... may it be plainly visible, or may it be hidden.

A Tarot deck is a journey, and as the listener leaps from track to track, encounters the sun, the moon, and everything else, I hope they will experience an own spiritual journey, too!"

Thanks for this clarification, Adrian!
And the mix is indeed 'all over the map" and travels into almost every repetitive electronic genre - trance, acid, gabber, breakcore and speedcore... so... enjoy this trip!
