“'Beyond' is a work of post-industrial rock with elements of musique concrete, inspired by the cold realms of existence beyond human understanding, hope and desire.”
Transmissions from the dark: Strict Tempo: Volume One (Part 1) and Part 2 deliver a retro-futuristic blend of EBM, industrial, darkwave, and Italo disco from well-known and up-and-coming dark alternative electronic artists. Arcane Synthetic opens with a cinematic industrial concept album where artificial consciousness questions its creators — built from layered distortion and dark ambient tension for fans of Nine Inch Nails and Chelsea Wolfe. Rare Kreature brings '80s horror-inspired darkwave and post-punk that flits between morose and campy, while TenTillDeath fuses sci-fi horror with Bowie's theatricality and Bauhaus's gothic edge. Hyperestis layers wails of despair over walls of synth and soaring guitars recalling mid-'80s darkwave, and The Penal Colony conjures electro-industrial darkness inspired by sociocultural decay.

“This follow up to the debut album, Awaken The Androids is made almost entirely of collaboration tracks.”
