FÆNGS (INDUSTRIAL/DARK SYNTH, LEAVIATHAN, SINGLE, RELEASED 1/9/25, REVIEW )

 

FÆNGS new single Leviathan is a beautiful dark track, which could be taken straight from a sci-fi film with sprawling sky scrapers and cars flying between them. Vocally there is a dual offering from a grim harsh tone, reminiscent of black metal vocals, slower and clearer, but with a sinister synthetic approach. Bog probably has watched too many sci-fi movies, but it's a hook for sure.

The other vocals are clean, soft, and mellow, and layer Leviathan with a narrative quality like a story teller singing from their perspective. It's compelling and catches the imagination.

Musically, slow tempo Dark Synth and a little Cyberpunk combining Industrial overtones, and a futuristic background melody. There are also some dance stepping sections for your feet, which Bog needs to do soon on the treadmill, but that's another story. 

An enjoyable well produced track that is both stimulating and good sci-fi music in our opinion.

BEAUTIFUL FREAKIN' WEIRDO: ZAP THE FEAR (INDUSTRIAL METAL, RELEASED INDEPENDENTLY 08/08/25, REVIEW)

Image
Beautiful Freakin' Weirdo released Zap The Fear a few months ago and is an Industrial Metal offering featuring 3 high octane tracks through a lyrical, and musical journey about real world hell and the psychological connection to it. I am Fire   has an upbeat rhythm with a consistent pace designed to keep people on the dance floor. It's kind of a mix between Static X with Rob Zombie with a slow acid techno hook coming around 2 minutes in. The vocals deliver the chorus effectively with a catchy riff serving as the signature for the song along with a fast paced beat for the drums with fairly high BPM. Psychohead continues on from the fast opening to maintain the pace and not allow people to leave the dancefloor. The drums are particularly good on this track, and support the guitars and vocals nicely. Vocals again deliver the lyrics and their message clear with a chorus for fans to sing along, or shout out on the dance floor. Pyschohead is definitely more on the metal side compa...
