“Leaving The Burning Building”, the first full length album by Detroit based Metria, is a gritty and unsettling album that invokes deep images of the industrial waste that litters Detroit. Subtle creaks and voices slither in between slabs of deep drones and post-industrial noise. This album will appeal to fans of older Lustmord, Brighter Death Now and some of the gritty early work by Skinny Puppy. Download now for free

Connexion Bizarre posted a review of the latest BLÆRG album, "Dysphoric Sonorities": After a meteoric rise in underground popularity, which opened the way for the release of considerable amounts of recorded material that many would easily classify as uninspired mindless tripe, breakcore is considered by some to be a spent genre while some of the most famous artists associated with it have shifted and began to incorporate other genres into their music. However, as with every musical subgenre in this situation, there are occasional gems showing that there is still validity to the genre....

“Soulseek Days” is a collection of early tracks by breakcore maestro, BLÆRG. In the early stages of music production, BLÆRG’s Scott Wehman spent time on Soulseek sharing his musical creations with other breakcore producers, exchanging remixes, tips and tricks. This web only release highlights some of the previously unreleased material that represents the very early days of creation for BLÆRG. This is exclusively available via Bottle Imp Productions and can be downloaded free. Click the cover art below for artist notes, previews and download link.

New review for Bramble’s "Emergence" at Gothtronic: Bramble's third release is entirely created using only the human voice. Mainly the voices of Scott Wehman and Morgan Stanton. The ambient drones that are created this way are oppressing, hypnotizing, breath-taking and at the same time reassuring and calming. This release with six tracks from this project out of Toledo, Ohio suprisingly shows what a wide range of music and tones can be made using only the human voice. Especially the lengthier tracks like 'Conjunction' and 'Apocrypha' are well-performed and know how to keep being entertaining...

A new review has been posted of Bramble's new album, "Emergence" by Absolute Zero Media: "Remember the days when Dark ambience use to scare the shit out of you when label like Dark Vinyl, Soleilmoon, CMI, Eibon and Cold Spring were so mysterious you wondered if they had unlocked the gate to the 8th level of hell to let these sounds out. Well Bramble does that to me again. Deep Drifting Drones and Tones that are so Demonic in nature you get the chill down your spine. You feel like you need to keep looking over your shoulder in the dark for something, but it's never there. The crazy thing...

A new review has been posted by Cosmos Gaming for Blaerg's, "Dysphoric Sonorities": When one hears the word breakcore, it is not uncommon to think of the resulting band/artist to be primarily hip hop focused. But Toledo, Ohio based Blaerg (pronounced blarg), the musical project of Scott Wehman, is quite different from your typical breakcore act. Mixing the drum ‘n bass influences with ambient and industrial styles, Blaerg’s third album Dysphoric Sonorities is a unique experience that should be approached with an open mind, but is also one that will be a memorable and enjoyable...

Bramble, "Emergence" Now available from Bottle Imp Productions. You wake from a fever dream suspended in darkness. Your arms, hands, fingers are heavy. You feel the weight of your fingernails pulling you down, down, down into the soft darkness echoing below you. You feel the darkness fold around you; a shroud, a chrysalis, a womb, whispering to you. It molds to your form, encapsulating you, covering you, entering you. Its gentle caress hums to you comfortingly. You open your eyes. You see strings of darkness vibrating in tune to emptiness. A searchlight rotating from an unlocatable...
