Happy Wednesday, my friends. With Sixth Mass-Extinction Skulduggery III released back at the start of October, it is my absolute pleasure to feature the apex of this five-album concept series from Gridfailure, the experimental noise project (to put it way too simply) out of New York. From the mind of David Brenner, this installment continues to explore the downfall of all we know through an immersive… expansive array of soundscapes. With a loaded list of guest appearances (more on that below), there is so much to explore in these 80-something minutes. Seriously. It’s a lot and it rules. Familiarize yourself more with David’s responses to our Profile questions below. And if you need to catch yourself up a bit first, here’s Sixth Mass-Extinction Skulduggery I and Sixth Mass-Extinction Skulduggery II. Now get to it!

Profile: Manic West Coast duo Nuclear Dudes

Alright. This absolutely rules. Our latest Profile is for Nuclear Dudes, a project that offers up a wild mix of extreme metal… noise… grind… synth-y stuff, and honestly I have no idea what else. Who cares? It’s fast and it’s entertaining. Anyway, they dropped their fifth full-length album, Truth Paste, earlier this month and it is absolutely worth your time. And, I mean, it’s like 22-minutes long so why the hell not? But if you would like to learn a little bit more about Nuclear Dudes before making such a commitment, take the jump and read Jon and Brandon’s (also entertaining) responses below.

Alright, friends. We have a busy week ahead of us. There are three artists and albums I’m stoked to throw into your periphery over the next few days, so let’s roll right into it. First off, we have the electronic/industrial duo Digital Negative. Their third EP, Intersect, is out on Friday (obviously). Richard Johnson (Drugs Of Faith, Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Enemy Soil) stepped in to answer our Profile questions. If you’ve been following along you should recognize that name from our feature for Drugs Of Faith back in February. Well, now we’re back with something quite different, yet still very much worth your time. So, take the leap, hit that Bandcamp embed while you give this a read, and check out what Richard and Daniel Euphrat (Person918x, Timmy Sells His Soul, Bodied) have been up to. See ya out there!

Profile: Chicago-based trio Burndy

Alright! We’ve got a fun one for ya today. Burndy released their self-titled debut full-length independently at the start of the month, and I am so happy that I finally got around to this thing. It lies somewhere in the experimental/industrial noise realm of heavier music. But honestly? I think any attempt at categorization is a little unfair. You just need to listen to it. It’s a collision of a lot of different things, so if you like your tunes abrasive, noisy, and complex you have certainly come to the right place. Three words: Heavy. Metal. Bassoon. So let’s give Burndy a listen and read Megan‘s (electric ukulele/vocals) responses to our Profile questions below. Away we go!

I know we aren’t quite out of 2024 EOY season yet, but no matter! It’s time we turn our attention to some cool shit coming our way in 2025. And soon. This coming Friday, January 31st, London-based industrial noise pop project Tayne will release their new album Love through Inside Job and MNRK. It’s a tense amalgamation of contrasting styles, make no mistake, but they find a way to make it all come together in a way that is intriguing… and frankly just sounds pretty damn cool. To offer a little more insight into this project, Matt Sutton (vocal, bass) took a few minutes to respond to our Profile questions. It’s a new year, but you still know what to do from here. Take the jump, hit play below, and read on!

Coming in with something a bit different in these middle stages of the week! But different is good. Weird is good. We like both. The London-based industrial-electronic outfit Pink Panther Project released their debut album Intoxicating Embrace back in September through The Circle Music and Marian Whores. Today, Nine Circles is proud to present their new video for “Scream”, taken from that release. If you need to catch up, the full album can be streamed here. Lock that in, and then check out the visual interpretation of “Scream” immediately after the jump.
