Despair :: Rewired Riot Technology :: Review

January 4, 2008 – 10:37 pm

The pure live Despair experience from Deserted Technology Riot (review here, buy from Music Non Stop) has been picked up, dropped into the audio shredder and put back together in novel new dance-mosh-friendly electro-technoise tracks. Rewired Riot Technology is a Despair album like no other and probably the coolest remixed album I’ve heard for a [...]

[ December 8, 2007 11:59 pm to December 9, 2007 6:00 am. ] [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, [...]

Tokyo Dark Castle #17 :: Event Report

March 5, 2006 – 10:00 pm

Junk Baptism :: Propoganda filez #1

December 29, 2005 – 10:50 am

[ January 21, 2006; ] Blood-stained gloves, gas masks and cattle prods greet the new slaves. Raw fear at the knowledge of their fate seeps into damaged brains. Re-animating the dead to serve the overlords of the final industrial revolution. Serving beyond the grave.

Death certificates already signed; the rights of the living are denied. Screams of the half-destroyed [...]
