Progressive Speedcore / Industrial Black Metal Mix


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.

Note: 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.

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

Credible

Is it credible?

Hello,
Low Entropy here.
I'm one of the authors for The Hardcore Overdogs e-zine.

People often question the "credibility" of the zine's features. "How do you know this? Is this true?" How did you get that information?".

Well, I hate ego-stuff. But if it helps to prove a point, maybe I should go into ego mode, just a little bit.

I'm a major player in the Hardcore Techno underground for close to 3 decades. I did over 300 releases, played gigs in front of 1000s of people, promoted parties, ran various radio shows ("physical" radio, i.e. the one where you sit on your couch, turn on the radio, and kick back), started and wrote various fanzines, ran forums and lists on the internet, and and and...
This means I got to know a lot of the people in these scenes in real life. I met or hung out with Tanith, Panacea, Miro, Hanin Elias, Noize Creator, Amiga Shock Force, Venetian Snares, The Speed Freak, and many more... others I got into contact with through online means.

So I got a lot of information because people told me about it *first hand*.
Or because labels did get in contact with me as they wanted me to play their promo 12"s on a radio show, and we also exchanged information.
Or I interviewed an artist directly for a zine, and also gained insight.

A lot of the stuff I write is essentially info that I gathered over all these years.

I've also been a kind of "trainspotting" collector for all kinds of information about the Hardcore scene - old interviews, articles or record interviews in paper magazines, online stuff, TV or radio shows with underground hardcore DJs...
This was / is also a great source of information.
Sadly a lot of this has disappeared by now, but sometimes an old magazine gets digitized or an old resource is put back online.

And then there is the 'general information exchange' between other DJs, collectors, fans... which also leads to a lot of insight.

So... these are some of my sources... decide on your own if you consider them to be credible.

Ego-mode off again.

Post Scriptum:
Because it is "underground fame", it's also seemingly ambiguous which can lead to funny situations.

Often, when I do something online, I either get the reaction "omg, low entropy, you are a legend" or "low entropy? never heard that name before. who the fuck are you?"

But I guess that's life :-)
