Monitors vs Hi-Fi speakers, the answer.
Google hi-fi speakers vs monitors. Go ahead, do it. I got 1,050,000 results. You’re here for the real answer aren’t you? I have the definitive answer below. It’s true.
Don’t read the manufacturers BS. Don’t read the 1 million web pages, because 99% are all going to tell you a different answer than I am going to tell you. And definitely don’t ask someone inside “the industry” because they too want to sell you speakers and keep having food on their tables.
There is this concept that hi-fi speakers are intended to sound “good” and monitors are intended to sound “accurate”. Let’s assume this is a completely true GENERALIZATION. Yes, a generalization. So now when you get down to your specifics – your specific speaker and your specific monitor – it all breaks down. Read More »

T.Raumschmiere “I Tank U”
T.Raumschmiere
“I Tank U”
Label: SHITKATAPULT
Official Website
(4.5/5)
The new release “I Tank U” from T.Raumschmiere, the solo project Marco Haas, screams energy. Equal parts industrial, punk, rock, hip hop and straight forward pop this release is equal parts “all over the place” and yet totally coherent. A number of guest vocalists pop in and out of the release which adds even more to the already varied textures and styles. Read More »

Murder by Static “Exsits”
Murder by Static
“Exsits”
Label: Deadsix Communications
Official Website
(2.5/5)
This is the fifth full length release from Murder by Static, the solo project from Chris Stephniewski. Not having heard any previous material from Murder by Static, it’ll be hard to compare this to prior releases but I’d think it a safe bet that anyone into instrumental noise experimentation, glitch and ambient music would find a good deal to enjoy here. Pulsing, rhythmic and often very intense.. the best moments of this release definitely occur in the sparse yet very effective quiet moments. Read More »
Saemskin
Filed under Interviews
Saemskin has been a Darksonus regular for years, and through these years he has honed a skill for brooding sounds and rhythmic beat driven madness ala Ad Noiseam or Hands label artists. He had released Simile for Murder a 7 track soundscape which has ever since been gaining momentum, being reviewed by such sites as ReGen, Side-Line, Smother, and Heathen Harvest. Here it is, a year later, and I thought it would be good to get the thoughts of Saemskin on the past and future of this project.
KMFDM (WWIII era)
Filed under Interviews
Two weeks ago, I would have thought that the idea of me interviewing Sascha Konietzko of KMFDM would be a funny funny joke. Two weeks later, I have conducted the interview and here are the results.
KMFDM was the first non-mainstream band I ever heard, and as a result from the impression left on me from that first track (”Ultra” off of Nihil), I delved deeper into industrial music and assorted other avant-garde art forms, and it ultimately changed the course of my life (I know that sounds more profound than it is, but “I became a rivethead keyboard player” doesn’t sound cool). The latest album by the underground sensation has proven to be one of the best albums they have ever recorded. I was given the opportunity to interview Sascha K. a couple of weeks ago and finally did it on October 3, 2003. This is the first serious interview I have ever done, and since it was my luck for the first interview I have ever done to be with one of the figureheads of industrial culture, I was nervous as shit. Here is the interview. Some editing from the original interview has been made. Read More »
