Blackcentr is an Industrial Music project developed by Taury Goforth and Johnny Bonnett. The project began in late 2007 after the two musicians met while Taury was with the band HexRX. Early collaboration was done via the internet until Taury relocated to California in Mid 2008. In a little over a year that they have been together, they have been very productive with one 15-track album in mastering and soon to be released while work on the second album has already begun. They have been playing shows around Southern California and will continue to tour throughout 2009. Vendetta Music signed them to a multi-album deal so look for the first album on that label soon. |

Creepsville 666 formed in March of 2005, when Geno Dellamorte (guitar,lead vocals) and Dez K. Daver (upright b&@$, backing vocals) posted an ad looking for a drummer. Robbie 6 answered that ad and since then these three alcohol guzzlin', zombie loving, necromancing, &@$-kicking psychobilly rockers from hell have been making quite a name for themselves in Arizona. They've opened shows for Devil Doll, The Nekromantix, Calabrese, The Creepshow, The Quakes and Left Alone. They are planning on going into the studio within the next month to record their first cd, which is much anticipated by the growing fanbase they've acquired in such a short time. |

This Black King stands alone in the sea of mediocre producers and shallow performance artists. A beacon to all that herald for Industrial Noise that grinds teeth, Dubstep with bowel shaking bass, Chiptune with impossible levels to conquer and brutal Live Electronics frying the cells of brain. Benatos Thompson of Cursed Chimera keeps the faith strong since 1996, from his early hardware days to his use of cutting edge technology in the present date. He does not compromise his sound for any scene, and label, or any person. This is true audio, from a black soul. Dance with his darkness and drink from his poison. |

Diverje formed by Tommy T Rapisardi in 1996. combining elektro - industrial, aggressive coldwave, melodic EBM, and splatterings of power noise, experimental and drum-n-bass, Diverje is a band built for the future. always adding and collaborating with new members, and new ideas, Tommy T keeps this band sounding unpredictable, and off centered from the more "popular, and watered down electronica" that we mostly hear as the mainstream "representative" for electronic music in America. Diverje keeps an open mind, but without submitting to trends or following the crowd. the great collaborators worldwide have kept Diverje more intresting and daring than most. Raw, aggressive, thought provoking, and emotional sounds... this is what Diverje is about. |

Lynn Standafer is the unassuming, mild-mannered alter-ego of the one-man sonic wrecking crew known as Enduser. Born as the bastard son of KRS-One, Skinny Puppy, and Photek, and raised on a steady diet of hip-hop and early jungle records, Enduser smashes through genre walls with alternating punches of industrial strength drum and bass and hip-hop flavored breakcore. Since 1996, Enduser has been shredding through genre tags more quickly than they can be coined to describe his unique approach to the twisted world of hardcore broken beat music. Regardless of the labels on the dividers in record bins around the world, Enduser's music will always be defined by its use of complex drum programming and darkly distorted atmospheres to create a sense of frenzied unease. |

Led by the band’s principal songwriter, Michael Smith, Fiction 8 has existed in one incarnation or another since 1993. Fiction 8 released their first album “Dissonance*InDifference” in 1996. Though the album achieved critical acclaim, any success it might have enjoyed ended abruptly when Discordia folded later that year. During this period, keyboardist extraordinaire Steven Hart joined the band and provided a strong stabilizing influence.
1997 saw the band finish its second disc, “Spirits"; shortly before its release, the charismatic Mardi “Paisli” Salazar joined the band as its bass player and violinist, bringing a style and enthusiasm that has fueled the band ever since.
The year 2000 saw the release of one of Fiction 8’s most diverse albums, “Chaotica”. The album, released on Nilaihah Records, features 13 gems including “Let Go” (from the Nilaihah compilation Resistor). |

Hardwire: The Industrial Hardcore Tech was formed in late 1999 by Michael Marsh and Ryan Hutman. Ryan had a decent background in making trance and breakbeat on his home computer while Mike had been playing guitar for only a few years. Both had known each other from high school and through mutual friends but had not spent any time working on serious music. Finally at a party, both had come to the realization that they were fans of, and shared an interest in KMFDM. Roughly a week later Hardwire: The Industrial Hardcore Tech was formed. Since that time they have added two new members to their line up. Chris Austin now joins them on drums as well as Jonah Foree on guitar. |

The duo was officially formed in 1993 by Erik Garcia a.k.a Erk Aicrag (lyrics and vocals) and Oscar Mayorga a.k.a. Racso Agroyam (Programming), but both cousins had been experimenting with electronic music, mixing Industrial and EBM, since they were fifteen years old. Their music can be described as dark and aggressive electronica or hardfloor. Their lyrics are mostly Spanish although some songs are in English. The Spanish word hocico means snout and is a derogatory term that indicates ugliness (e.g., ugly as a dog's snout), and is used in phrases like cállate el pinche hocico, meaning shut your fucking mouth. |

Making a splash with Redemption and 2005 tour in support of VNV Nation as well as other high profile shows with Tiger Army and their appearance at the legendary Wave Gothic Treffen Festival in Germany, Imperative Reaction began work their next album. For the interim between releases, the band re-released their out of print debut Eulogy For The Sick Child.
With expectations high for the new album, Imperative Reaction spent over a year slaving over it. These standards were met and surpassed, and the new album for 2006, As We Fall, is a triumphant, cohesive effort from start to finish. Emotionally driven vocals, punchier bass lines, and driving synths are masterfully blended to display the growth of this phenomenal young act. Drawing from influences ranging everywhere from AFI and Nine Inch Nails to modern EBM and noise, this album stands as a cathartic dance floor classic. |

Munly, and the boys present traditional American music like country and western and gospel straight up, without contorting it to suit cow punk or alterna/indie country sensibilities. With their earnest approach and raucous live shows that feel more like religious revivals of a bygone era, this off-shoot of Slim Cessna's Auto Club will certainly stand to equally astound fans of the genre. |

In 2001 Jonathan Sharp (New Mind, Bio-Tek, ...) was about to release the Novus:UK project via Wire-World Prod., but nothing happened, a promo got spread somehow but no actual commercial release followed. All hope seemed to be lost until ex-Faithful Dawn singer Sarahjane and husband Stephen Farr put their shoulders under the resurrection of the project. Novus:UK since then became a female fronted 2 piece hard electro outfit giving the "Re-designing The Future" its well deserved second life. Still at the controls on programming and production, is the one man industrial noise terrorist Jonathon Sharp of Bio-Tek, New Mind, and Hexedene infamy. |

In the fall of 2000 Ben P. and Bonnie B. started to write music under the name Protocol. At that time they had little more than ambition, an Access Virus KB, and a dream of someday letting the world hear what they’d created. They sought the advice of other electronic musicians, they learned, they wrote, and they learned some more. |

The music and lyrical world of ROME is genuinely
unique and constantly brilliant. Blending excellent
songwriting craftsmanship, unusual arrangements
and fine poetry into one monstruous and intimate
musical output that combines chanson, dark ambient,
apocalyptic folk, pop, acoustic rock, martial industrial,
cold wave – all rolled into one impressive avantgarde
package. The lyrical beauty of Jerome Reuter’s compositions
and the complex arrangements of Patrick Damiani make ROME
an unusually challenging musical experience.
A must for music lovers.

The Spiritual Bat is a new project, but it is an evolution from "The Spiritual Bats" project which was conceived in 1992 by Dario Passamonti (Alchemisti Painters) and Matteo Bracaglia. In November 1994, after the shows at the Crypta (Rome) and the Condor (Modena) the Spiritual Bats had the pleasure and the honour of opening for Rozz Williams (Christian Death) and his Daucus Karota, at the Black Out (Rome). Dario’s Passage into the Realm of Shadows did not weaken the project: Confession was recorded live by Claudio Mura at the Pan Pot Studio in Rome, in May 1995, immediately after the show at the Velvet. Shamanic drummer Rosetta, on her spiritual journey around the world(s), was present at that event . She was fascinated by the fusion of Alchemy and Art. As the Alchemic Quest was her quest as well, Dario invited her to join the group. She has been active in the project ever since. |

STATIK SKY is the creation of Stefan Petrie. The music he makes comes forth out of the frustrations from life in general. Using a PC for sequencing, 2 synthesizer for making sounds and 1 bad ass drumsynth combined with a few nice distortions for nice distorted beats. For live performances there is another pc involved. This one sends out images through a videobeamer. Using industrial-themed images and texts from his songs diplaying on the screen simultanious he creates a complete show on stage for all to enjoy. |

Out of the sludge filled sewers and scrap metal heaps of New York City comes the hard hitting industrial power noise phenomenon know as TERRORFAKT.
TERRORFAKT was born on September 11, 2001, a day when our world as we know it changed drastically. A day when as Americans, our freedom and safety came under fire. A day when thousands of victims and hundreds of heros gave their lives in the name of freedom and liberty.
Influenced by such established artists as Controlled Bleeding, Monolith, Neurosis, Merzbow, Manufactura, and Synapscape, TERRORFAKT's sound ranges from powerful dancefloor anthems to ambient soundscapes and pure experimental noise structures. |
