I could barely contain myself when hearing that ASF was releasing a new album after what seems like a million years (since Curse and Another Planet, my two faves). Still in bizarre form, spouting the chaos of modern day society; it seems as though these creatures are as strong as ever in all their electronic glory.

Track Listing: Terror Clone, Art is Dead, Two Minutes Till Midnight, Interlude, My Mind Plays Tricks on Me, Fallout, Heaven Raining Bullets, Welcome to the Here and Now, If Only I Kept Dreaming, Bound to Happen, Post Hell, Depart.

The first release from Middle Pillar’s Hell’s Hundred Records is a stunning one. Amid the tons of new music released in our scene, Empire Hideous holds up to the test of time and is some truly good gothic rock. For more information, check out www.empirehideous.com

This is the first new release by legendary French neo-classical outfit in years. A very dark, liturgical album; personally, it brings me back to the days of Theatrumaetherum (a legendary show from the late 90’s) at WNYU with my former DJ partner.
