Riotlegion - "Machine Liberation"
Industrial project Riotlegion returns to the fold with their brand new full length album "Machine Liberation" via Blind Mice Productions. The band has been active since their debut "Legion of Chaos" came out in May of 2014 consistently releasing EPs and remixes. "Machine Liberation" continues the political and social criticisms of their home country, the United States, with eleven tracks of high-energy output.

Dead Astropilots - "No Control"
In 2018 Dead Astropilots took their electro-meets-coldwave attitude to their debut LP "New Control" in full force. Picked up by French record label Manic Depression Records the project has moved on to release a brand new remix album titled "No Control" featuring twelve songs in total. Most of these names are ones that I have not heard of before but that's not a bad thing; that just means there's more music in the world to be discovered. Stream / purchase the collection directly below:



Vortex - "Helioz"
Drone / dark ambient project Vortex caught the underground scene's attention with their acclaimed trilogy featuring the albums "Kali Yuga", "Moloch", and "As Gods Fall" all released under the banner of Cyclic Law. It's no shock, then, that they've returned to the record label with a brand new album titled "Helioz". This time around (and as the cover art might suggest) the album concerns itself with solar mythology through history and the cultures and religions found within. The album is out in both digital and physical CD formats. You can stream / purchase it directly below:



Shed Skin - "Transference"
If you've been following the past couple of What's In Our Inbox? features then you've likely seen Shed Skin's material featured in those articles. That being said the words used to describe their material from myself are becoming dry; you know the drill. Check out their experimental / industrial nature directly below:



Jigoku - "The Paranoiac Machine"
This six-track debut comes from an artist named Jigoku. While it's tough to pin down one certain genre to this artist they do revolve around the industrial and dark electronic scenes.

Dissonance - "Precipice Maxi Single"

DK-Zero - 'Switch Me On'
DK-Zero has released a brand new single / music video focusing on a cyber industrial approach. Off of their second full length album "Cyber Sex Incorporated", the single is a concept song in which futuristic corporations figured out how to breed out the pleasure of an orgasm. The only way to achieve such a sensation is from corporate pills; the video follows a dealer of those pills who has become a crime boss.

Astari Nite - 'Leave the Winter on the Ground'
'Leave the Winter on the Ground' first appeared on Astari Nite's album "Here Lies" which released earlier in the year.
