[Electro Industrial - Live & DJ] CCC comes out twice a year from DJ SIN and offers a smorgasbord of live industrial-electronic acts. While not Goth (only Euthanasie and possibly Red Mecca would be toward the dark side), it does provide a lot of variety for those looking for some digital thump music. Six live [...]

From the band’s two tracks on the Kobe Underground Festival, Switch BladerZ are a [...]
Japan’s tactical industrialists 2 Bullet have released their album, “Democratic Violence” on iTunes.
Born in Tokyo in 2003, the 2 Bullet refers to the balance of power - two opponents “pointing a gun at each other” like the MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) scenario of the cold-war era. Their style of industrial is hard and fast like [...]
[Goth - DJ] Club Inferno takes place in Shibuya’s Shifty this month. Inferno is organized by Khimaira, the force behind Danse Macabre, so this permutation of the event is kind of a resurrection of the Vertige evenings that took place from on Sundays.
