Venezuelan blackened death metal act Noctis Imperium have recently released a video for the song “Unus In Nihil” from their Abyss Records debut Nihil.
Nihil was released in August of 2010 and is currently available through Abyss Records and features Nick Barker (ex-Dimmu Borgir, ex-Cradle of Filth, et al.) on drums. For more details on the album, click here.

Genre: Industrial
Label: Alfa-Matrix

Sebastian Komor has been doing this shit for years, and the debut from his eponymous project proves it. This is some of the freshest industrial I’ve heard in awhile, and it’s perfect for either the club or the car.
It reminds me of Skinny Puppy, especially the fourth track “Atrapado”, while also bringing to mind iVardensphere (who are inspired by Komor’s other projects), The Prodigy, and the fathers of industrial rock KMFDM.
Oh wait, did you just say that Sascha from KMFDM is on this record? Well fuck. It goes to prove just how similar to black metal industrial really is: everyone is on everyone’s record and everyone is in everyone’s band.
At the end of the disc, with album closer “Blues ‘N’ Tubes” showcasing some really odd and fun shit, I find myself waiting for it to spin again. It’s definitely something that can be played twice or three times in a row without getting tiring.
If you’re a fan of industrial in general, or Komor’s other projects Icon of Coil, Zombiegirl, Moonitor, and others, you need to get this album when it drops in February 2011.

This here is the re-release of Konkurs from Prophecy, and from what I can tell, there is no difference in this version from the last. It’s just simply a way to get the music to the fans before the new Lifelover comes and fucks up your ears next year.
So what is my opinion on Konkurs? It’s the most fucked up black metal album I’ve ever heard. There’s so much more than black metal here, everything from rock to goth. I can’t even properly describe this album. I can’t do it justice. I can say that I love it, and I fell in love with it when the song “Mental Central Dialogue” was on a KnuckleTracks CD or a similar magazine’s free disc. Immediately I was hooked and I needed my fix.
And now I’ve been given another shot in the arm with Prophecy’s release of it. If you like depressive black metal, avantgard music, or just want to try something different, try out Lifelover’s Konkurs.
