Interviews
	Susan Matthews - Siren Wire "I'm not familiar with the work of the majority of the bands/artists I've been compared to. I came to this via an aborted classical music education coupled with an interest in popular music. (...) For a few years I consciously put myself into a bubble, I switched myself off to other people's music so that I could focus on my own in a very pure way, to really discover my 'sound'." Read more
	Igor & Tanya - The Eastern Front Israel is probably not the place where one would normally expect to find a record label with a catalog spanning martial music, darkfolk, industrial and noise experimentalism. And yet, that is the kind of material being released by this young label and its noise/experimental side-label T'an! Kaven!! Ash!!! Read more
Reviews
	Welle:erdball - Chaos Total "Chaos Total" is an excellent album full of exciting and moving synthpop anthems produced in the true Welle:Erdball style. That is all you should need to know, end of review! Read more
	Dirtward - Utopia:Banished "Dirtward" is pure industrial rock from the moment it hits. The apparently single-man project Utopia:Banished has taken a good, hard look back at mid-90s North American coldwave and forged ahead with all the production and genre-bending the intervening years have come to offer. Read more
	Machinochrist - Escape From Woolwich Arsenal As a debut album, "Escape From Woolwich Arsenal" is a very solid piece of work and sets the bar pretty high for subsequent offerings by Machinochrist. Powerful and sincere-sounding, it is bound to appeal to breakcore and hardcore fans, as well as please some industrial music adepts. Read more
