What's In Our Inbox? #54 featuring Aesthetic Perfection, Hocico, and more!
Nature of Wires - 'Through Someone Else's Eyes (Leaether Strip Remix)'
When the collaborative single 'Through Someone Else's Eyes' released, I was flawed with NoW's cinematic music paired with Madil Hardis' voice. Now the single has become a bit more sweeter as the legendary Leaether Strip has remixed the song with his traditional EBM style. You can stream / purchase the track below:
CUTWORM - "Ouster"
Dark electronic project CUTWORM has released their album "Ouster". The project cites darkwave, experimental, hip-hop, industrial, noise, synthwave, and witch house music and primary influences, but there are probably others scattered about in the album. You can stream / purchase the digital album directly below:
Aesthetic Perfection - 'Automaton (feat. Sebastian Svalland)'

You can stream / purchase the EP directly below:
thewalkingicon - "Naive"

Every one or two years, the community releases a compilation of tracks for the world to enjoy, and 2021 marks the release of this collection of works featuring sixty-seven various artists. You can stream / purchase the compilation directly below:
Various Artists - "Alternative Fakten Vol. 2"
Munich, Germany based collective Alternative Fakten has released a brand new compilation titled "Alternative Fakten Vol. 2".

This single teases the release of their upcoming LP, "The Fermi Paradox", which will be released in the first half of 2022. Oblidivm has stated that "This track tells us the story of an impossible trip to other stars in search of a truth". You can stream / purchase the single directly below:
Deadlight Holiday - 'Blood And Body'
Industrial rock project Deadlight Holiday has released their new single and lyric video for 'Bloody and Body'. Deadlight Holiday talked about the single and said that, "The lyrics draw from American culture, and our collective cognitive dissonance towards the problems we all help create as a humans. I don't think it's our job as musicians to solve or answer anything, but rather to call attention to subject matter, and create a 'question mark' of sorts for people to make up their own mind." You can stream the EP below and you can purchase it HERE.
Hocico - 'Broken Empires'
Mexican industrial and harsh EBM project Hocico has released a brand new single titled 'Broken Empires'. The quite good single seems to be pulling influence from the dark synth scene (that bassline sounds like something Perturbator would commit to), but nonetheless keeps their signature sound alive. Either way, you can stream the music video for the single directly below:
The Ultimate Dreamers - 'Japanese Death'
The Ultimate Dreamers, a former coldwave band that was active in Belgium from 1986 to 1990, has announced that they will be releasing a compilation album on vinyl and CD on Dans Les Profondeurs / Wool-E Discs at the end of 2021.

You can stream 'Japanese Death' directly below:
Liya - 'Kill The Beast'
Synthpop / darkwave artist Liya has announced that the music video for her song 'Kill The Beast' has been released. In talking about the song and video, Liya stated that they "are about someone with depression; someone who is not dealing with it and hurting himself and me, because we were together. It's about how his depression ruined our connection. The depression is the beast that needs to be killed." The single is taken off of Liya's 2020 EP "Cold Moon". You can purchase the EP HERE and you can stream the video below:
Ember Twin - 'Out Of Light'
Ember Twin has released a brand new single / video titled 'Out Of Light'. The song is about "letting a dark force into your life and to lose yourself to it." Thus, the band decided to base the song around witchcraft and shot the video in the dark forests of Sweden. The single comes off of Ember Twin's 2020 album "Let Us In", which can be streamed / purchased HERE. Stream the video below:

info@brutalresonance.comI've been writing for Brutal Resonance since November of 2012 and now serve as the editor-in-chief. I love the dark electronic underground and usually have too much to listen to at once but I love it. I am also an editor at Aggressive Deprivation, a digital/physical magazine since March of 2016. I support the scene as much as I can from my humble laptop.
