ARTIST SPOTLIGHT : Matt Hart : Tales of Terra & Chaos Retold
Industrial artist Matt Hart has plenty of music within his discography, but his latest release might be his most ambitious. After releasing two series of EPs (Chaos Rising and Tales of Terra), Matt Hart has looked to other projects to give his worlds of robotic terror a shake-up. The remixers chosen are some of the highlights within the scene, including MOAAN EXIS, ESA, SPANKTHENUN, and Xavier Swafford of 3TEETH. Most of the songs are available for streaming, with just three remaining to be heard. You can purchase / stream the album below:



Bow Ever Down : Let It Burn
Dark electronic act Bow Ever Down has released their latest album "Let It Burn". Kimberly Kornmeier has described the album as a "combination of emotional lyrics and dark dance music."

French record label Kalamine Records has launched the seventh edition of their "Inside / Beside" compilation.

When announced that they were accepting submissions on March 9th, 2021, they did not expect over sixty tracks to be sent to them by the end of May. Most tracks have been made exclusively for the compilations, or are previously unreleased or rarities.

I'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.
