ALIEN VAMPIRES - "World In Denial"
Like most bands, musicians, and creative folk throughout the world, Alien Vampires have been hard at work in their home studio recording and performing rather than traveling and touring.

You can stream / purchase "World In Denial" below and you can head to Alfa Matrix's Bandcamp page for the other.



Urban Matrix - "Eine Welt des Grauens"
Since their debut release "Adventures In Time And Space", Urban Matrix has been slowly gathering a small and cult-like following.

"Eine Welt des Grauens" is a testament to that as it is their latest release and contains six tracks in total. Check it out:

Carbon Killer - "VR SUN"
In arguably one of the coolest ways to release an album that I've ever seen in my life, synthwave cyber-cultist Carbon Killer has put out their new album "VR SUN". While the album is released in traditional formats such as vinyl and CD, the album will also be released on a Kiibo. A Kiibo is a small figure of Carbon Killer and all you need is a device that is NFC enabled. And, bam, you get a Bandcamp code for the album. Shipping is killer for those (including myself) who live in the United States. But, hey, the digital version is still just as joyful. Check it out:
