What's In Our Inbox? #34 featuring Das mörtal, Nature of Wires, and more!

Technophobia - "Some of Us Are Looking at the Stars"
Tecnhophobia became a sensational favorite of mine in 2016 when they released their debut album "Flicker Out". Solid electronics with an EBM meets synthpop style and crisp (I mean extremely crisp) production values aided their album in becoming a top notch pick for 2016. Four years later, the duo have finally announced their sophomore effort "Some of Us Are Looking at the Stars". Due out on December 4th, 2020, the band has announced that they will be releasing a series of singles starting with 'Rattle Your Chest' from today up to the release of the album. You can pre-order the album in CD, vinyl, and digital formats below:



Skeletech - "Cyborg Flesh"
Cyberpunk and darksynth music meets thrash and industrial metal in Skeletech's debut album "Cyborg Flesh". Previous singles such as 'Weaponized Pleasuremech' and Primitive Violence' make an appearance on the album. The digital EP can be purchased via Bandcamp. 



The Rain Within - 'Hungry Like The Wolf'
Just in time for Bandcamp Friday, The Rain Within has released a brand new EP featuring a cover of and taking its title from the Duran Duran song 'Hungry Like The Wolf'. The EP also comes with a previously unreleased song 'Delicate' and a remix of 'Like the Devil' from VALHALL. You can stream / purchase the EP below:



Ships in the Night - 'The Killing Moon'

Das mörtal - "Miami Beach Witches"
I feel as if the title and the mood of this record are appropriate for the current spooky month we find ourselves in. Synthwave project Das mörtal has announced their new album "Miami Beach Witches" will be released on October 30th, 2020. The album will be released in digital, CD, and limited edition vinyl formats. I'm personally hoping to secure a vinyl sometime soon. Anyway, take a listen:

Today, they have released their brand new album "Franz", a concept album based on Elon Musk and an experiment gone wrong. Taking influence from classic works such as Christine and Maximum Overdrive (or so I suspect), the album is available in digital, cassette, and vinyl formats. You can purchase it below:



Syntience - 'Rule Thirty'
Synthwave project Syntience has been releasing singles throughout the year but this is the first time that we have been introduced to them. Their blend of science fiction and cyberpunk themes has led them on a journey to futuristic worlds.

Dahlia's Tear - "Descendants of the Moon"
New and exciting tales are always being explored with the concept album Cryo Chamber releases, and Dahlia's Tear latest effort is no different.

Stream / purchase below:



Theyrgy - "Exit Strategies"
I may be a bit late on this one, but better late than never. Theyrgy is a post-punk project from Chicago, Illinois in the United States who released their album "Exit Strategies" On August 21st, 2020. An improvisational session was the backbone to the album and was thus transformed into a listenable experience. You can purchase / stream the album below:



Occams Laser - "Odyssey of Noise Vol. I"

White Night Ghosts is another new name to Brutal Resonance but one that has music fit for the site...Otherwise they wouldn't be on this list. Anyway, they have recently released their brand new EP "A Loop in the Eye of God" featuring experimental electronics, haunting atmospheres, and even some crunchier elements with an all round crisp production. Check it out: 



Soj - "Land of Lovers and Hammers"

Various Artists - "Dystopia in Action"
Dark electronic label X-IMG has put out a compilation featuring various EBM and New Beat artists. Like many other independent compilations, you're likely to come across quite a few names that are unfamiliar but that just means that there's more music to discover in the world. You can purchase / stream the compilation in both digital and vinyl formats below:



Kris Baha - "Starts To Fall"
I feel it's only right to feature this artist right after the compilation they participated in. This four track EP from Kris Baha is described by the artist as "four mutant industrial cuts ready for a dance floor of one." That beats anything I can say about it. A physical version of the album can be purchased HERE and you can stream the digital version below:



Infra-DEAD - 'S̴̞͆a̸͓͐c̶͍̋r̵̘͝e̷̫̾d̴̫͘ Tongue' 
Janky and cursed text aside, InfraDEAD is an electronic metal project. I kind of find them a blend of chiptune and metal combined, sounding like a song straight out of a retro-styled modern video game. Either way, you can check out their latest single directly below:



Various Artists - "Northern Nightmares II"
Independent record label Up North Records has released a compilation album featuring various industrial, EBM, and punk influenced artists. Every one of the artists available on the tape are names I am unfamiliar with but, as always, that just means there's more music to discover in the world.
