Perturbator

After a lot of teasing and hearsay, French synth wave project Perturbator has announced upcoming new album "Age of Aquarius."  The James Kent project continues to evolve, fusing elements of darkwave synth pop, electronic, industrial, techno, metal, and more into its sonic stew, this time around featuring assists from artists like Author & Punisher and Alcest.  Check out new tune "Apocalypse Now" feauring Ulver below and pre-order the record (out on Nuclear Blast) here.

Final Light

Before i went to bed last night, i came across the very cool new project from James Kent of Perturbator fame and Johannes Persson from Cult of Luna.  Final Light combines the dark synths and video game techno of Peturbator with the heavy death metal of Cult of Luna, and it works to monstrous effect.  Check out "In the Void" below and pre-order the upcoming self-titled album here from Red Creek.

Perturbator

It looks like May is bringing us a new full-length LP from French synth wave maestro James Kent, better known around most parts as Perturbator.  "Lustful Sacraments" sounds like it's going to be a little bit of a departure from previous efforts, with first single "Death of the Soul" sounding like some late '80s/early '90s gothic industrial techno.  Sign me up.  Watch the video for the single below and head over here to Blood Music to pre-order.

L'Enfant De La Forêt

I posted some Christmas music earlier today, but now we're going in a way different direction with some music from the latest release by L'Enfant De La Forêt.  The side project of Perturbator's James Kent, L'Enfant De La Forêt uses some of the same electronic components that Kent blasts into the techno nether regions with Perturbator, but dials them back some, throwing in some elements of drone, ambient noise, and some hints of black metal.  It makes for a collection of eerier songs, like evil is afoot and it's already too late for us all.  Grab new album "Strangled" here from the artist and listen to Lynch/Badalamenti influenced "Noir-Etang" below.
