Last year I was all about ugly, apocalyptic hardcore, this year I find that a large proportion of my listening is geared towards getting (back) into industrial/synth/EBm. One group that I've been listening to lots is The Pain machinery and while I can't post a track from their latest album"Surveillance culture" because their label politely asked me not to, I will share a track off their 2010 release "Urban survival". "Paranoise" lacks the relentless, hard-driving beats that define much of the band's sound, but it's statement of extreme military/technology paranoia is a recurring motif, a concept well-served by the noisy clatter of machines. They can be used to work for you, but they can also work against you -- it's a variation of the same dystopic vision, an ever-present theme in this particular genre and one that comes closer to reality every day. As "Surveillance culture"'s opening track m/watch?v=hsfPUchLmUo" target="_blank">"Shine" states, "We are social media / television / you carry out what we command" -- there are dark forces at work against you, if you let them.
