A few weeks ago AL JOURGENSEN, the general of legendary industrial metal tormentors MINISTRY,  announced the final stand of the band after a trashing journey since 1981.

They have canned their 17th and final LP, named Hate To Go (Take Out Or Delivery).
It’ll be unleashed on October 30th. Tracklist & more info here.

Jourgensen: “I’m fucking done. I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished. I’m amazed at the path that it’s taken, from With Sympathy to where we’re at today, and all points in between. It’s been quite a ride, but I’m completely at peace with the fact that it’s done. It’s time to herd goats.”

Ahead of it, we get a 3rd preview grenade, named SINGULARITY

“Your time on this planet has passed…we are in control,” warns a cyborg on the dystopian new single. As new fears of AI dooming humanity have come to dominate the news in recent days, Al Jourgensen and co. are ready to fight.

Hallelujah!

MY LENNIS – Belgian Motherrockers Have New Explosive Barnstormer ‘WIDE AWAKE’ Out

Posted on by JL

Vitalizing tunes that work faster than a stream of caffeine

17 September 2026

Band: MY LENNIS
Who: 4 Belgian noiseniks influenced by Weezer, Blink 182, Good Charlotte and The Offspring. What started as a trio became a foursome in 2023 with ambitious plans, namely making miles by playing live and diving into the recording studio.

Track: WIDE AWAKE

TUTV: These motherrockers hit bullseye again with this explosive barnstormer.
This is what happens when grunge and punk collide and cause a nuclear reaction.
All you need to blow up your poor speakers is a revved-up rhythm section, a schizophrenic guitarist and a psych-o-tic maniac for a loudmouthed singer. Enter My Lennis. Maddening turmoil, people.

Get up, wide awake,
and release the bats.

Vitalizing tunes that work faster than a stream of caffeine

9 September 2026

It’s been 4 years since Philly rockers THE WAR ON DRUGS orchestrated by
singer/songriter Adam Granduciel released their latest album I Don’t Live
Here Anymore.

Their fans can start jumping for joy ’cause their idols are back with new single
WHO’S THAT, a synth-glowing woolgathering evoking dreamy images. No sign
yet of a new LP, but I’m sure that won’t take long.

Awake. Arise.
TWOD are back.

HEARING TESTS – London Punks Attack Belligerent Psycho Politicians With Their New Exploding Grenade ‘BURNING THE FLAG’

Posted on by JL

Vitalizing tunes that work faster than a stream of caffeine

2 September 2026

Band: HEARING TESTS
Who: A hardcore band from London, sonically direct, taking influence from all
over the hardcore spectrum, fast pummelling riffs, huge sing along political lyrics,
tackling issues such as the rise of the far right, consumerism and inequality with
more personal stories.

Their sound is fast, raw, and unapologetically direct – built for sweaty basements and
shouted choruses. Lyrically, they pull no punches, taking aim at consumer culture, far-right
politics, and systemic inequality with a clarity and fury that leaves no room for ambiguity.
Politically charged and sonically relentless, Hearing Tests aren’t just playing punk – they’re
living it.

Track: BURNING THE FLAG

TUTV: Holy smoke! Hearing Tests tash, crash and smash all war-greedy psychos who
have turned our planet into a ravaging battlefield. Burn The Flag is an exploding punk grenade, a detonative ebullition, a barbed wire assault.

We all know that we’re doomed if all those immoral, intolerant, egomaniacal world leaders as we know them, stay in charge. Their erratic behaviour is unpredictably dangerous. We the people should stand up, all together, and get rid of all those evil politicians while screaming Burning the flag, Burn in hell at the top of our lungs.

Time to wake up
and save humanity.
Now.

JOOLS – British High-Voltage Hit Team Drop Combustible Haymaker ‘WHEREVER I GO, THERE I AM’

Posted on by JL

Daily electricity to load your batteries

27 August 2026


Credit: Jools FB

Band: JOOLS
Who: High-voltage hit team from Leicester, UK. Last year they launched
their imposing debut LP, named Violent Delights. You can stream it here.

New single: WHEREVER I GO, THERE I AM

Kate Price (co-vocalist/songwriter): “Suddenly playing big shows was an amazing
and transformative experience. But I couldn’t outrun the fears of living this dream and
my fixation on perception; this song covers the acceptance of needing to tackle not
outrun our fears.”

TUTV: Amps and decibels up from the kick-off. Aggressive guitars, merciless drums, and searing duet vocals combine for a volcanic outburst, boiling over every time the crushing chorus crashes your stereo. Post-punk ferocity mixed with nu-metal moxie propel this combustible haymaker. Helter skelter. Wherever you go, don’t miss Jools.

Wake up.
Press play.
Play loud.

BRONCOS – Irish Doomed Rockers Overwhelmed By ‘GLOOM’

Posted on by JL

Vitalizing tunes that work faster than a stream of caffeine

26 August 2026

Band: BRONCOS
Who: Hefty 4-piece emerging from Belfast‘s thriving alternative music scene.
They have spent the last two years traversing the country and, in the process,
releasing a slew of successful singles, to establish themselves as one of
Ireland’s most compelling voices.

Track: GLOOM
New single.

Lyrically the song is about knowing from the outset that
a relationship is doomed, but entering into it regardless.

TUTV: After a tranquil synth intro, this emotional discharge intensity’s builds up gradually and menacingly, and scrapes the sky on the herculean chorus, spiked with anxious vocals. Image nu-metal titans Deftones and industrial vets Fear Factory jamming with subdued urgency. Gloom is wrapped in dark clouds and has an ominous sense of near-collapse. Darkness rules. No emergency exit.

“We’re always doomed”

MINISTRY – Industrial Tormentors Hate TRUMP To The Bone

Vitalizing tunes that work faster than a stream of caffeine

24 August 2026

AL JOURGENSEN, mastermind of legendary industrial metal tormentors MINISTRY, 
just announced the final stand of the band after a tumultuous journey since 1981.

They bagged their 17th and final LP, named Hate To Go (Take Out Or Delivery).
It’ll hit the streets on October 30th.

Jourgensen: “I’m fucking done. I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished. I’m amazed at the path that it’s taken, from With Sympathy to where we’re at today, and all points in between. It’s been quite a ride, but I’m completely at peace with the fact that it’s done. It’s time to herd goats.”

Track: WE HATE

It’s pretty self-evident that Ministry has never been a big fan of ‘Hair Mussolini’, especially now as he bombards the American people on a near daily basis with self-aggrandising AI slop. Al Jourgensen and co. therefore felt it necessary to give ‘Trumplethinskin’ a dose of his own medicine with their new single.

Fuck Trump.

PIG – Blazing New-Goth-Wave Engine Fulminates On Ferocious Sledgehammer ‘AN AMERICAN IDEAL OF BEAUTY’

Posted on by JL

Vitalizing tunes that work faster than a stream of caffeine

4 August 2026

Artist: PIG
Who: Longtime, English Dark-Goth-wave whirlwind and solo diesel engine
Raymond Watts, who made 15 LPs with German cult band KMFDM and has
several solo ones out, with this year’s piping hot album Hurt People Hurt
as the most recent one.

Track: AN AMERICAN IDEAL OF AMERICA
New single from his upcoming EP, named Dirt Box.
Out September 4th. More info here.

Watts: “I wanted to distil and hone the sound of the current PIG album, ‘Hurt People Hurt’,
so inviting my old partners in swine Marc and Günter to join Jim and myself in the studio seemed the perfect blend of brutality and beauty to feed, fertilise and transmogrify the hog
into Hogzilla. This new single was the first result of our work as a quartet, hammered in the heat of the anvil of hurt.”

TUTV: Wake up, America, here comes PIG. This new blazing electro-burning outburst resonates like it’s performed by a dream team, legendary industrial hotrod aggressors Ministry fronted by Bauhaus‘ iconic maestro Peter Murphy. Sounds pretty awesome, right? You betcha.

The immense vim and vigour at play here is off the charts, with Raymond Watt‘s characteristic, bone-shilling and terrifying vocals grabbing you by the throat for
the full 4 and a half sledgehammering minutes. Ferocious, fulminating, fierce
eruption. PIG rules.

“This is an American ideal of beauty
Put up, shut up, do your duty.”
