Location: Osaka, Japan & UK - Genre Post punk, New Wave, Gothic
Sins of the Flesh deliver two CDs worth of music, the first containing one CD of original songs, and a second CD with remixes of the songs on CD 1. The additional CD’s reworked electro remixes put a very different spin on the [...]

Electrock Circus @ Urga Shinjuku

[Electro-rock/hard alternative] I really like Electrock Circus because it has a good mix of acts seeking to electrolyze you. With around six or so acts each event, you will always get your money’s worth. The final Electrock Circus will see Xenophobia, Japanese Babies, Soul Source and more!
When: December 29, 2007 :: Electrock Circus

Demonoid13 :: Gate of Death :: Review

This devastatingly heavy EBM release from Demonoid 13 (MySpace) comes to you professionally repackaged by the small, but quickly expanding, Deathwatch Asia label in Japan. The music comes across as hard, powerful dance tracks, which reflects the nature of lead man Fixer-D, a.k.a. DJ DoomSpider of Nagoya’s Stigmatic events. Aside from Fixer-D on vocals and [...]

Forkys :: My Spirit Freed at Last :: Review

Attica, Greece – Genre: Electro, Gothic, Industrial
My Spirit Free At Last is the first full official album release for Forkys (MySpace). Forkys is a Greek duo, featuring Dominique on vocals & keyboards and Vril in charge of programming, FX vocals and visuals, and has been around since 2001. The band’s strong Gothic, dark electronicka sound [...]

JGoth.Com: Trying Blogvertise.com

As part of my quest to monetize the site (or at least cover server & Pepsi Nex costs required to keep me online) , I have signed up with Blogvertise.com. This appears to be a similar style of service to another company mentioned in an earlier post, and as part of the registration process I [...]

Baal :: Territory of Baal :: Review

Location: Tokyo, Japan - Genre: Industrial, Metal, Electro
Baal has an infectious, indeed virulent industrial sound. This review covers the first EP (CD-R alas) from the band, Territory of B.A.A.L. that has been built up by reworking earlier singles and new material. Their blend of industrial programming and guitar from Mikito, percussion from Chihiro [...]

Junk Baptism #3 :: Motion Shinjuku

[Industrial and more!] This event it is definitely worth going to. The previous two Junk Baptisms even inspired Igor’s poetic side, which is a very rare thing indeed - perhaps this is a good thing. The truth is that Junk Baptism represents the alignment of hard electro-industrial units with past events including performances from Baal, [...]
