Inspired by the revolutionary new sounds in Dubstep and Glitch music generated by the likes of fellow metal-head-turned-DJ SKRILLEX, Talon began the BLACKBURNER project, remixing tracks and releasing original compositions through the Cleopatra imprint Hypnotic Records. The project immediately met with enormous success as compilations featuring BLACKBURNER climbed the iTunes Electronic charts and BLACKBURNER tracks racked up over 15,000 downloads. Bolstered by the overwhelming on-line buzz, preparations were made for a full-length album – and now the time has come for BLACKBURNER to make its worldwide launch. Influenced by Talon’s background as a metal guitarist/vocalist, BLACKBURNER combines the heavily twisted and seriously aggressive Bass beats of Dubstep and Glitch with the melodic hooks of Rock, Industrial and Electronica to create daring yet widely appealing new hybrid sound.

Where industrial dub is concerned, Acidrodent doesn’t take the friendly route: Prepare for heavy distorted beat punishment intertwined with mangled metal guitar fragments.

In the middle of the mayhem there is a political message though. Because that’s what industrial has been about since the very start: To confront, criticize and assault.

When it comes to filthy grinding industrial dubstep, Acidrodent delivers the goods plentiful and with exactly the right dosages of filth and grind 🙂

Millipede has been in operation for a number of years and, in that time, has been subtly stretching the boundaries of the soundscapes its music has come to include. While so many electronic artists spend the lion’s share of their time amping up the listener’s heartbeat using effects and tricks akin to modern horror film jump tactics, Millipede’s sound is considerably more graceful by comparison. It’s patient in its fluidity and timing, able to take the listener on a journey where actual beginnings, climaxes, and endings are able to be traced. All the while, Millipede keeps things exciting by weaving ear candy that sounds at once harsh, but fascinating
