Twitch Releases New Single "Everlasting" and Announces Live Stream

(New single "Everlasting")

First thing is first, this last Friday, we released the new single "Everlasting" during a live stream chat and listen through! What is the single about?

In the early evening, during the pandemic... we were starting to get into Spring... the sun was slowly setting, and there was a little bit of snow falling and blowing around. Looking to the West, I experienced something that has never happened before in my life. The light, the sun, the clouds... it looked gold, and I didn’t want it to end... I had never seen anything like it before. There was beauty... It kinda felt like a moment of, we will eventually get back to living our lives, even though things have changed... probably for the rest of life, I realized at some point we will get through this, we will eventually overcome these obstacles. I’m not sure what it will look like after, but we will change and adapt! I felt peace and hope. I didn’t take any pictures, but I was inspired to write “Everlasting” to capture what I was feeling... and share it with whoever wants to listen! Even when things are dark, there is still light within that.

You can purchase Twitch's new single "Everlasting" here!

Books: Industrial Revolution (25th Anniversary Edition) by Dave Thompson

Received this book in the mail not too long ago... wasn't exactly what I was expecting, but still glad to have this in my collection. This is certainly a piece of Industrial Music history! Here's what the back of the book says:

Back in print for the first time in some two decades, The Industrial Revolution - 25th Anniversary Edition includes the full text of the now collectible, and so influential encyclopedia, published at the dawn of the Industrial Music boom of the mid-1990s.

Featuring in-depth biographies and discographies of every Industrial band functioning at the time, together with historical retrospectives, features, exclusive interviews and more, "The Industrial Revolution" has long been regarded as the essential guide to a musical form that promised, at one point, to become the dominant force of the decade.

Covering the entire spectrum of industrial rock bands, The Industrial Revolution remains a spellbinding introduction to... and a reminder of... the moment when experimental left field music was poised on the very edge of mainstream superstardom. Complete and unabridged.

The description on the back kind of sums up everything about this book; basically an encyclopedia of all the bands in existence in the mid-1990s. There's also interviews with select bands and this books includes discography listings of each band at the time! There's quite a few bands included that I haven't really heard, or even knew of... so for me, even though this book wasn't what I was expecting, it is still valuable, cause at some point I'm going to want to check out some of those bands and see what they are/were all about! I think the addition of the discographies of each band is great too, cause it's easier to figure out what exactly I want to purchase or even just check out and listen to online!

Would I recommend this book? If you a serious Industrial Music collector and interested in the history, I would suggest this! There's a very interesting interview with Rozz Williams about his project Premature Ejaculation... that I think people should read. Actually, there's quite a few interesting interviews in here... so yeah... would recommend!!

PRONG: Power Of The Damager

(PRONG's "Power Of The Damager" Cover)

Yes, we received this in the mail not too long ago... popped it in and started listening...

...this is PRONG's comeback album after their "Scorpio Rising". This album is a lot heavier and it sounds like Tommy Victor is a lot more angry on these tracks.

(Inner sleeve; Part 1)

I will say this album veers more heavily in the metal direction... but still has some industrial and darker elements to it.

(Inner Sleeve; Part 2)

PRONG has always been on the edge as far as industrial goes... they are not strictly industrial... but they kind of crossover into it on various albums and songs... Personally, I think PRONG is more of a crossover band than a strictly industrial metal band.

(CD Artwork)

I would say the tracks that stand out for me are... "Looking For Them", "Pure Ether", "Power Of The Damager", "The Banishment", and "Spirit Guide"... I think "The Banishment" is probably my favorite track off the album!

(Back Cover)

If you are curious about industrial music history and in particular industrial metal... I would consider this as a part of that history, and being that the main songwriter Tommy Victor has worked with bands like Danzig during his industrial phase (Blackacidevil), as well as played and toured with Ministry...

...Prong has long crossed the line between metal and industrial I will recommend picking this up and adding it to your collection! Digging into this stuff, you realize there's all these little connections in the history of industrial music... and bands that you thought weren't related are actually related and have had members play in the various industrial bands or related bands in the scene...

...yeah, exciting stuff!!

Hope you are well!!
