Skynd - 'Columbine feat. Bill $aber'
One of personal favorite new acts to come out of the past couple of years, Skynd, have released a brand new music video and single titled 'Columbine'. This is sure to be a hot topic as the event, as well as the several school shootings that have been committed since, have been controversial for good measure. But Skynd ventures into dark territory to encourage discussion about it. The video is emotional, scary, and horrifying to watch. Nonetheless, the music itself is top notch and Bill $aber's deep and dark vocals add a twisted yet critical vote to the video. Now, Skynd, please release your music on Vinyl already. 


Digital Factor - 'Come With Me'
EBM act Digital Factor, a cult project from the early nineties, has returned to the scene with a new EP and single titled "Come With Me".
