“Adventures in Sound Vol.2 is a snapshot of contemporary underground music, unified not by style but by adventure and intent.”
From the darkest corners of the underground: Strict Tempo: Volume One (Part 1) arrives as a retro-futuristic dispatch spanning EBM, coldwave, industrial, and Italo disco — a bold first statement from a new imprint with an eye on the future. Rare Kreature's Noises Beyond weaves '80s horror-inspired darkwave between morose and campy extremes, with AFI and Offspring covers alongside a politically charged "Otra Muerte" celebrating Mexican-American culture. Chalice Sect's Finis Initii closes the LA darkwave trio's first chapter with pulsating EBM-fueled post-punk and "dancefloor-insistent melodrama," while Dawn of Darkness Netlabel's WARLOCK conjures old-school witch house darkness through heavy industrial beats and a collaborative remix treatment of Belgium's innocent darkness.

“Ghosts, phantoms, & cryptids of the Appalachian unite in the dark cinematic offering from Mombi Yuleman!”
“Raw, claustrophobic, and teetering on an edge, “Insomnia” is the sound of the night fight against the thousand micro-demons of anxiety that crawl and claw around the edges of peace and sanity.”
