Ministry – AmeriKKKant
El Tigr3 – Man-Eater
Electronic, synth stuff, running between the ups and the middle, but there are definitely a few great and creative tracks.
Wild Evel And The Trashbones - Digging My Grave

Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio - Songs 4 Hate & Devotion
On Bandcamp they tag themselves as apocalyptic pop, which is kinda right. Flavours of goth and industrial in a music rather dark and sexual.
Monster Magnet – Mindfucker
Atrium Carceri & Cities Last Broadcast - Black Corner Den
Dark and beautiful ambient for searching souls.
Czarface & MF Doom – Czarface Meets Metal Face
Saschienne – Unknown
Downbeat electronic calm music, perfect for work.
