🔥 𝗟𝗢𝗩𝗘 𝗦𝗘𝗫 𝗠𝗔𝗖𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗘 𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗮𝗹𝗯𝘂𝗺 '𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗜𝗩𝗜𝗡𝗚'

From their earliest recordings the band established an approach built around weight, repetition and confrontation, stripping heavy music down to its most physical components while retaining a distinct sense of brutal humour. Love S*x Machine continue to expand through sludge, post-metal, post-hardcore and blackened extremity as a band with zero interest in restraint or convention.

Uncompromising, darkly humorous and physically overwhelming, Love S*x Machine‘s new album ‘Thriving’ is Aperçu Copie Tweet
“…𝑢𝑔𝑙𝑖𝑒𝑟, 𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑑𝑖𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑡 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑣𝑖𝑜𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑛 𝑎𝑛𝑦𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑤𝑒’𝑣𝑒 𝑑𝑜𝑛𝑒“. (Yves)

Though routed in a violent approach to sludge, they constantly distort that foundation through the angular precision of modern metal, the tension of post-hardcore and the colder, more hostile colours of black metal.

The songs arrive and sustain such density and repetition that their massive depth of sound is unapologetically abrasive; rattling listeners to the core and giving direct access to the human shadow in all its vile glory.

👏 𝐒𝐇𝐘, 𝐋𝐎𝐖 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞 “𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐥”

‘Purity Spiral’ is the title track and 2nd single from Shy, Low’s new album. The track begins with an impression of sirens and marching, before immediately exploding into a metal-drenched storm of brutality. Gradual crescendos, cinematic dynamics, and immersive atmospheres shift throughout this titanic track. The listener is left suspended at times, allowed to drift in phantomic distortion, before the beast of heaviness returns, the intensity raised again and again as the listener is pushed to the threshold.

The band comment:
"'Purity Spiral' is an exploration of the feedback loop of technological dependency, and the effect it has on our relationships with others and ourselves. The more we worship the golden idolatry of growth, the further from our humanity we seem to stray. Self-isolation is a contagion destroying the bonds between us all."

👏 𝗛𝗬𝗣𝗡𝗢𝟱𝗘 𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗽 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲 “𝗠𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗔𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗹”

Hypno5e have made a distinct, indelible mark on the progressive heavy music scene. Their self-styled ‘cinematic metal’ mixes heavy music, the avant-garde, post-rock, immersive samples and Latin American influences across widescreen songs. On their much-anticipated seventh album, "Trame Noire", they continue their unique journey.

The band comment:“'Molecular Angel' is the turning point in TRAME NOIRE’s trajectory, marking the moment when the mutation of the surrounding space gives way to the character’s inner transformation.

Direct and raw, the track unfolds over a relatively short span of time for an Hypno5e song. It moves through ethereal passages before ending in a frantic chaos that announces the album’s second half.

'Molecular Angel' was conceived differently from the rest of our compositions: with no detours, more condensed, and focused on a direct and immediate expression."

"Trame Noire" out 6th November via Pelagic Records.

👏 Labirinto drop new single “Antístēte”

“Antístēte” marks Labirinto’s return with its first new music since 2019. Following years of interruption, lineup changes and gradual reconstruction, the band re-emerges in a transformed form.

The track retains the density, atmosphere, repetition and narrative tension that have always defined Labirinto, while introducing a more direct and visceral presence through harsh vocals. Rather than a return to the past, “Antístēte” is the first document of a new phase — carrying traces of what the band has always been while pointing towards the direction of the next album.
