music

For some reason extreme music gets much more interesting to me when there are vocals. I am more of the “death industrial” side of noise music, so this is what you will find here mostly.

I wanted to make a list with industrial music that is not available on big streaming platforms such as Spotify and I thought about this British label. They have got some excellent music. Check it out.

There is a danceable / light version of industrial. Well, not always so light. Not “rhythmic noise”, but more ‘lightfooted’ than much industrial. Here is a playlist with that kind of industrial.

Every once in a while I like to listen to very slow doom metal: “funeral doom”. I like it even better when the music has electronic elements. Here is an example of the kind of music I am talking about.

There is actually noise that raises the hairs on my arms and brings a tear to my eye. Here is an hour of emotional violence.

Long ago I made this mix for 8Tracks, but the Dutch music rights organisation caused 8Tracks to be no longer available in my country, so I cannot even listen to my own mix. Here it is again on Mixcloud.

This is mostly a list of grindcore-type music, but then made with electronics. There are a few tracks metal with electronics. All quite energetic.

It has been a while since I was watching The Prisoner series and reading about it. In that time I also looked up music with Prisoner themes or samples. Here is the result in chronological order:

This one took much less effort, but it still takes time to gather tracks, arrange them, make a playlist, etc., but here we have “electronic doom”. There is this dark, minimalist kind of techno that is sometimes named “industrial techno”, but that term can just as well apply to hardcore techno, so I am not fond of it. Spotify seems to use “Mandible”, but I have no idea what that is supposed to be. I use “electronic doom” for my Spotify playlist as it is somewhat doomy and of course electronic. I do sneak in similar vibes from other genres.

Anyway, for Mixcloud I made a two hour mix of this type of music, so if you have no Spotify, check this out:

A while ago I was downloaded mixes from Secret Thirteen. I figured that would be an easy way to have a load of music for a car holiday. There are some excellent mixes there, but I was looking for something more energetic. And so I picked up the idea to make such an energetic mix myself. I may have went a bit too far, but other people may have a sense of humor too, right? I sent the mix to Secret Thirteen, but I never heard of them…

Then I figured, why not just upload it somewhere myself? Mixcloud for example? And so I did:
