Soft Vein - From Another Room

SOFT VEIN releases FROM ANOTHER ROOM (EP), a six-track collection serving as an epilogue to the THROUGH BLINDS album cycle. The EP features two distinct perspectives on the band’s music.

The first half presents three remixes. Twin Tribes offers their ethereal darkwave sensibility, while Qual contributes stark industrial energy with additional, blazing vocals. Chaos International rounds out this section with a more experimental synthpop approach to SOFT VEIN’s sound.

The latter half of the EP sees SOFT VEIN interpreting three notable tracks from the new wave and synth-pop eras. They lend their melancholic style to songs by Eurythmics, The Human League, and The Blue Nile, offering fresh perspectives on these familiar tracks. FROM ANOTHER ROOM (EP) expands on SOFT VEIN’s artistic scope, providing both compelling reinterpretations and sincere homages.

Paul Ion Barker - Knife The Ally

Lead into Gold, the solo venture of Paul Barker, renowned for his influential bass work with Ministry, returns with ‘Knife the Ally,’ set for release on June 6th, 2025, via Artoffact Records. This album follows 2023′s ‘The Eternal Present,’ and further refines Barker’s distinctive exploration of heavy electronic soundscapes.

‘Knife the Ally’ delivers a potent blend of robust industrial textures and intricate electronic arrangements. Barker’s signature sonic architecture is present, characterized by its dense layers and powerful rhythmic drive. However, this release introduces a subtly nuanced melodic dimension, creating a compelling interplay between dissonance and harmony.

Listeners can expect an album that is both sonically immersive and intellectually stimulating. ‘Knife the Ally’ represents a continued evolution of Lead into Gold’s sound, offering a sophisticated take on industrial music that balances raw power with refined artistry.
